Hot Rods Rusty has a new project- father son build , 26 T roadster!

Rusty, how much would you charge to come south of Sioux Falls and give me a crash course in swapping the rear in my Rambler.......lol

 

Thanks! Might need some of your artwork for it!

 

Man Brooks documented everything in his build thread.I think you could get a really good idea from that.

 

Assembly starts.

 

Nice. Any pictures of the LCF

 

It’s not hamb friendly

 

It's older than 64

 

1958 on a late model chassis

 

Frame looks good!

 

Tomorrow we are going to remove the frame from the pallet and get the suspension underneath it. I have all the brake lines, steering box, master cylinder and pedal assembly bolted on.

 

Looks good. Let me know if you need a hand, I'm just down the street!

 

Top drawer buddy …. Lots of nice detail indeed ‼️

 

What "Shitty Welds"? Really coming along nicely!

 

Oh they are under there!

 

Man that looks great

 

Thanks Brooks, second picture looks like I’m praying to some kind of hotrod god.

 

I tried to go back and read the thread again for the answer but I can’t seem to find it, what rear axle is that and is that a model T rear spring? Just curious what combo you ended up with as it looks great

 

It’s an early bronco narrow nine inch. It’s way overkill for a flathead powered car but it’s narrow and was affordable as I bought it from a good friend for next to nothing. The spring is a T spring that I’ve had laying around for years.

 

Looking pretty tasty! Nice job on the plumbing

 

Thanks

 

Rusty,

When this thread started I (somehow) got the impression you were throwing together a semi-nice driver quality car.

Ooooops. That frame is a work of art. Kudos to you on your build. Like everyone else on here I'm anxious to see the finished product.

I probably missed it but I've been looking through this thread and so far can't find the answer; did you skim coat the frame to get it that smooth?

 

Yes it was primed with hi build primer and touched up with some filler. Needed to do something to cover up my shitty welds

 

Not sure where you are going to put that AMBR trophy. garage is gettin a bit messy....

 

Yeah rite! Patina cars are so much more fun!

 

Rolled it out in the sun today after work. Sure is bright in the sun and really maroon in the shade. Hope we made the right decision on color.

 

Looks like a good choice to me!

 

Thanks Blake, will you be at the grand national roadster show next year? If so it would be kool to meet up with you again.

 

looks great. I need to make it a point to stop by and see this again.

 

You know it.let me know when you have some free time.
