Shopshots week 11. Home made seat belt and random shop shots.
The Ford Model T doesn't care that it snowed again, I wonder what snow adventures it's had so far in it's life.
Daddy must have taken this T-bird away bcause it certainly hasn't moved in a while!
As a journey person automotive service technician who services most brands you'd think I've seen it all. Well follow along on this little saftey adventure.
A 2011 Ford pickup was towed in for a no start concern. It started right up, I wasn't concerned. The battery turned out to be faulty and while setting out for a test drive I noticed this seatbelt contraption.
There was no buckle on this $60,000 Platinum edition truck! Instead in it's place was this tie down strap held on with some wire.
There was a lot of other fun stuff under the seat too. I think that might be underwear...
It turns out the owner had the new part at home and brought it to me for installation. It's bizarre to think that they went through the hassle to remove the old buckle and wire in the hook, but not install the new part. And to top it all off this vehicle will not let the radio work without the drivers seat buckled up.
Even the tow trucks need repair sometimes. This unit was leaking fuel, I had my young apprentice do the repair so I wouldn't smell of diesel for days.
Now for some completly random #shopshots with minimal explanation.
Toilet bowl. Get it?

I went next door today to take a pic of an abandoned house on the property, and could not resist snapping this pic on the way. Our neighbor is a "collector" and in the snow, some of his collection is very picturesque... sort of... maybe... ya' think?
I must have it, its beautiful! It still has the box and tailgate. Is the grill shell there? 😲
Lol! I will go check when I feed the cows. He is looking to get rid of all this stuff, ever make it to Idaho? Bet you could get a deal!
Bummer - front looks pretty empty.
Bed and tailgate are pretty good though. Plymouth!
I guarantee someone will buy that for a few dollars just for the bed and tailgate.
I thought I was the only one who fixed seat belts that way. Thanks for sharing.
Oh no you better not!
I like that you used lyric reference for the tbird.. lol thats awesome.. it does seem odd someone would rig the seat belt but i have seen stranger things!
Hey someone got it!
Thats like the 2nd thing you've tossed around and i got lol
Awesome as always!
What's your plans with the Model T, classic restore or small block Chevy bucketted rat rod?
Its the bosses junk heap. Someone put it together from a few different cars and truck, but it does still drive as well as a model T does.
Beautiful car!
bel voiture
I liked that ford model t.
Hi cj. Hope all is well with you🍍
Cool model T!
Nice little dump we got today
I wish it was a little warmer so I could get on my xcountry skis.
Ford is my favorite car.
that is kind of a mickey mouse setup for the seat belt,
actually makes me wonder why we use that saying having been to Disney everything about Mickey mouse
is so well done
