These were mostly for me. The mechanics and engineering of these are fascinating! I spent a good while after I got back from the museum just trying to understand the Model T gearbox. I still don't understand how reverse works. It looks like it should be another forward gear.

I am! Sort of. I'll provide an Patreon update next week. Progress has essentially gone backward on it

Am I to guess this means that you are back working on the escape? I wanted to up my contribution when the project is back on!

"If I turn the wheel, the entire body shifts". My Tesla Model X does exactly the same thing. Apparently they all do. It doesn't inspire confidence.

My grandfather had a model T in the 1920's and his honeymoon was a drive up the east coast from North Carolina up to New York (from where there are plenty of photos). Considering the fact that roads in those days were mostly local dirt roads, well, a bit of a crazy thing to do.
