    Here's a link to pics of my T roadster project.
    The body is outside the garage waiting it's turn.

    I wouldn't be where I'm at on it if it wasn't for my club-mates and a couple of other friends. Thanks a million.
    Still attempting to sort out some electrical gremlins so we can start it, but it's close.
    Some of you might remember the build bet between myself and sodas38 last year.
    He had to sell his project (went to another HAMBer: what's the status?) and I've been plugging along on mine when I could.
    The body and main cage came from scarliner (choprod's bro) and the rest came from all over.
    The dash is a whole 'nother story in it's self.

    Please Kerry.
    Don't think for a minute I would do that with this car.
    Remember?
    I've ridden in your coupe with the blower.
    No way man.

    Oh and I'm trying to get my cc bud to fix the links on the page.

    Note to self: "kick my own ass for selling roadster"

    So far so good Robin. Lets hope to see this at the HAMB drags.

    My roadster went to Roadburner1 up in Nebraska (Omaha, I believe), not sure on the status.

    I do have an original 26-27 touring cowl, I should get to work on it. I need a back seat panel for it though reel bad, just can't drum one up.
     
  6. Sodas if you drum one up your next option is to beat one out. ;)

    Hey robin do you have any of those pics with ya at work?

    Obviously he hasn't yet.

  8. What are club mates for?:D

    I'd like to get a closer look at the pics myself. I think its the q time player screwing up the page.

    Benno,
    I can buy an aftermarket panel ($165) and just fab up the rest around it, I am real close to doing that. :)

    Taking my T to the Rust Revival is my plan.
    Porknbeaner came over last Friday and helped my fire the mother up for the first time.
    I still have the weedburners and it's loud and obnoxious.
    Too cool.
    I just can't seem to get it to run for more than a few seconds at a time.

    Try putting more gas in the tank. :) I know there's always a smart ass comment to make. You'll figure it out.
     
  20. Gas is that the green stuff that comes in plastic juggs. I poured a couple of those jugs in the tank and he had some funky smellin' stuff in a gerry can I put in the radiator. :confused:

    Roadburner.
    Too cool.
    I see there are some remarkable similarities between our two cars.
    All this month, I'm swearing off helping anyone else on thier car (I just spent over 30 hours this weekend helping a club brother swap engines in his car) and totalty allocating my time to the roadster. The big push is on.
    Any help would be appreciated.
