    You made my day. Glad to see you kickin' butt with your T. Nothing like running as fast as you can to a cement mixer and see if you can stop to get the old juices flowing. Who says you can't have fun at our age.

    1/4 mile in a model T. I figured we'd be watching the start this week and the end next week when you actually finish it :) Car looks so much better lowered! And looks like the water pump is doing the trick.

    It’s good to see you back and making good trouble. At any time I was expecting to see a RCMP Interceptor pull up and give you a talking to. You might want to call up Strongs Garage and see if they have a dual carb setup available, that would be living dangerously. Stick with the apple cider vinegar and black strap molasses and stay well.

    I'm so sick of all these big youtubers using their Model T's for reckless exhibitions of speed. First, it was Coldwarmotors, then Strong's Garage and now Shed by The Tracks. I'm not opposed to antiquated cars, but either convert them to Ev's or retire them to a museum. I expected better from you Randahl. Shame....shame
    Ps. Looking forward to the triumphant return of regular Shedbythetracks programming

      I guess what confuses me is the fact that you expect better from me. I thought my total disregard for professionalism was well established. Evidently I'm trying way too hard. This winter I plan to do an EV conversion on the T for the sake of YT likes and being popular. Take it easy, I'm looking forward to the next show from Carters Hair Styling. Cheers
