Tall T's

Can't argue with that, I suppose.

The coupe is looking pretty okay. You know, if you are into badass 60's style cars or whatever.

 

Got a side or front quarter view of this coupe? I'd like to see how the engine meets the firewall?

 

Here you go Scoob. In true Bill Bierman fashion. This motor is set back too. He loves engine set back. Just look at the Suiciede King Stude. No fire wall in it yet but the motor is in the cowl.

 

not really feeling the angle of the body on that one

 

Man, I'm totally feeling that one. There was a really cool black Bantam drag car on Ebay for a while and I believe it belonged to a HAMB'er and it had a very similar stance and body angle. I loved that car and would have bought it if I had the dough. Some people think they look "broken" like that. I think it's neat-o. The Suicide King is amazing too. I'm a sucker for all of this.

 

is this dude serious with that air cleaner lid? gross.

 

Look at your avatar! Are you serious?

 

Btt. Hoping to reactivate this thread rather than clog the blog with a new one.
Any progress being made by HAMBers building T coupes or sedans? Particularly interested in seeing Tall "T" coupes.

 

I like the center door's...

 

You want tall?? I'll give ya tall....

Mine:

 

Seen cruising at Billetproof Washington 2009

 

^^That is one bad "T", damn.

 

these are sweet. the uncertain T is right out of a comic book, love it too.. lucky guys enjoy your T's love them all.. surprised no one has not made a fiberglass tall T.. guess would not sell? least there seems to be some tin out there for guys to bring back from the rust stains.

A few shots of my T. It's on the back burner for now. But the parts pile is growing nicely.

 

Back in the mid to late '60's, HOTROD Magazine did a real nice spread on a drag "T" Coupe that was sporting a blown 392 with Zoomies.. The color on it was Kandy red I think??? I've seen those pics on this site before and I forgot to save them..
Anyone here now which one I'm talking about??? If so, can you post a link to that thread??? I can't find it..

 

Picked this up last winter.
It was rodded in the late 60's with some parts from a 63 Belair the owner rolled.

 

Here are a few I had saved from various sources:

 

great T pics. I have wanted a sedan for a long time..maybe one day. unchopped and full fendered. ive only seen a couple center door sedans, that would definitely be on my bucket list.

 

Here's some from my saved pic's.

 

A couple of tall T tudors.

 

Cruisin' our '27 T at this years Spokane Goodguys event

 

I luv that T, dual blowers and a cammer

 

Jimmy, that first black T is my good friend Alan Kahan's '24. He's owned this car since he was a kid in the mid-50's!

Pulled from a wash in the hig desert, it has an amazing heritage, from the original build with a big Olds and stretched chassis by a famous LA-area Japanese rodder (whose name escapes me at the moment), to the now 50+ year old black laquer featuring original striping by Kenny Howard/Von Dutch, to the uber-rare Carrol Shelby manifolds on the installed in '63 Ford 289. This car drips with history, and Alan can still be seen driving the snot out of this car all over LA today!

 

at first when i looked at a tall T i just thought man that needs a chop to bring the rood down some so would look more proportional? at any rate the more i look at them if i owned a one i would not chop it.. im digging there odd ball look.. sorta giving the man the finger.. heh.
some cool tall T's. i guess we will get a glass option one day as the tin rusts away.. unfortunately, full body cars even one as simple as a T brings in top dollar it seems.. only the bucket seems to be a fair price? shrugs. its all relative i guess. rock on.

thanks for the history on this car.. you can tell its been loved for a long time that paint looks great for its age. im sure the owner wish he has aged as nice. Laughs.. im sure if he knew what that shelby stuff would be worth today he probably would of picked up some more parts that were in the way that they basically gave away to get rid of it from walking over it... the interior looks so damn comfy wish new cars would take some ideas from there heritage i just do not find modern seats all that comfy even with there computer design lumbar support.. something about sitting down on your seat and getting that sucked in feel that is missing.

chris.

 

One fine T for sure. Luv its got a 289 in it. Dont see many people run them.

 

Gotta finish Wifey's Shoebox...this is next!!

 

You nailed it man... this car with the longer wheelbase and those seats has to be one of the most comfortable T's ever built. Of course, the visibility is unmatched as well!
