Default Canadian T racecar

I don't usually post on the T Forum, but have been lurking and looking for some time now as a T would be my next desire.

A friend who lives nearby in Southern Ontario has done a restoration of a Model T Racer. This car was built by the King brothers who lived in either Port Arthur or Fort William. These cities are now combined and known as Thunder Bay. Al lived there before coming to our part of the province to teach.Their family has quite a history of cars bought and sold or traded. Al should be able to tell more history when he chimes in after I post the pictures. It was powered by a Roof Overhead conversion on the T engine. Manny,many,many, parts were fabricated in Al's basement, mostly by hand and on his lathe, and home built English Wheel.
I know you will be thrilled to see the result, and here are some photos. Al's Fordbarn name is "Fastcar".
