Projects Picked up my T roadster body today but not sure of the year

I picked my T roadster body today. I think it's 1922 or earlier? It has a small firewall. Can anybody identify what year it is??

 

I'm thinking maybe a 15-16. Those primative windshield posts are certainly not 17-22.

 

Ahhhhh ok. Thanks!

 

Those windshield posts ARE stock.They are for hanging the lantern style lamps. Good find

 

Didn't the '22 and below have a smaller cowl area than that one?

 

These are stock posts for sure. Congrats.

 

Think you are correct '15-22. Don't know there is any difference. Great find.

 

The post are 15.Their rivited together instead of the two screws on the sides to hold the frame on.15 would have had a wooden firewall but it looks like it was a hot rod before and got switched to a metal one.The bead going to the firewall on a 15 goes the whole way to the firewall and is straight at the ends not round like the later ones.The cowl for a 15 where it bolts to the firewall has a rivited piece there and doesn`t have a notch in it for the radiator support rod.My Dad has a restored one.

 

Thanks for all the replies fellas. I just happen to have a '23-25 firewall that I'm going to cut up to fit and weld in. The firewall it has now is just too far gone. Pretty sure it was a hot rod long ago.

 

And yes the brackets on the side are definitely for the old lantern style cowl lights. I'm not gonna run those though.

 

MTFCA encyclopedia has absolutely endless details... http://www.mtfca.com/encyclo/index.htm

 

I wouldn`t trash those brackets.Their worth more than the later ones to a restorer.

 

i dident see a difference till 26

 

Nice project. Are you going to run a banger?
