Since you can't just wander into PEP Boys to find Model T parts, sometimes you just have to be prepared to wade through weeds and other nasty stuff to rummage through piles of random Model T parts wherever you can find them, in the hope of finding something still worth using - after some careful restoration - even though the parts might have been outside in the elements for decades, as was the case here at a neglected scrap metal yard in San Antonio in January 2013. In the end, T parts to the tune of $500 were acquired.

Dirk and Trudy Regter made an altogether too brief stop in San Antonio on their world tour in their 1915 Ford Model T to raise funds for "SOS Children's Villages International," which aims to provide loving homes for orphans around the world. TFOT members Anton and Mary Ann Hajek invited the couple and their two friends driving the tour support vehicle to stay with them, and hosted a fun evening for them and many TFOT members. In the morning they headed down town for some snaps at the Alamo before heading west as far as Las Vegas before heading north to Canada before returning to Houston along the eastern seaboard. On their way here they met with the Houston, College Station and Austin clubs. We assume their welcome in Texas will be matched around the country. The project and the people involved deserve nothing less.
