Never would'a guessed. In my region, they're called "Bucket Ts"...

This guy, who has to ask how to hang a ceiling is going to make an auto
body. Right.

Anyone who wants authentic Model 'A" or Model 'T' replacement parts
needs to contact Engle's A&T in Middletown Ohio. He has made replacement
parts on original Ford dies for over 30 years.

What fun would THAT be????

The fun of doing a top quality restoration. Felix has the nicest
machine shop I was ever in. For instance, he has a 20 ton press to make
the fenders, and the original machines to roll the edge over the heavy
steel wire to give the exact dimension as the original Ford part. He
was a tool and die maker for Aeronca, in Middletown when they were
involved with making parts for NASA. Do you remember the honeycomb steel
used for the original heat shields? They were made at that plant. Why
spend weeks making a half assed replacement, and buying tools you don't
know how to use, when quality parts are available? He was the first
shop licensed by Ford to put their name on his reproductions.
