Hot Rods Mr. Model T: Back At it Again...

Hello Fellow HAMBsters!

Its been a long time since I've posted (several years if memory serves).

As many of you know, sometimes life get in the way….for better or worse and those past few years are no different for me. I’ve done a lot: Got married, bought a house, had some personal issues…but all in all I couldn’t be happier. One of the side effect however was it pulled me away from being as active here as was in the past.

Many of you followed along with the buildup of my T, the trip to Bonneville and the Trip to Wildwood for TROG. A few more things have happened since then. The roadster is still fine and as several of you may be pleased to hear….still painted black. It turned a few wet laps at Pismo..





And it made a special visit to this guy in Burbank, Jay.... something, but can’t remember his last name…






It did get a few upgrades such as the split rim pin-drive wire wheels I have been after for a decade. The biggest change is the windshield. It was a project I had on the back burner for years that I FINALLY got done.






There are still a few more things to do (as always).

I will post some updates on the T in a bit more detail on my original build thread (https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/my-26-roadster-vintage-photo-search.308741/), but I also will be starting a new build thread…

I have started a new project so I will be starting a build thread for that here very soon, so stay tuned.



Feels good to be back

Looks like life has actually been good. Congrats!

Been missing you a bunch Clayton- great to have you back!

 

Such a cool Hotrod...welcome back @MrModelT...so the updated windshield setup maintains your previous top profile? Also in Hamb gabbing I saw your visit with that other Car Guy...Jay...whatshisname??? Really enjoyed that...

 

Real good to see you and the T back. Glad life's been good to you.

 

( yayyyy ! )

 

I did add a smidgen of extra height for viability....but it doesn't hurt the top profile.

The new top is next...since I have all the correct stuff to finish it.

Welcome back, on get to work because we need pics! Nice to see the T back on the HAMB too.

 

I love that car. The windshield looks like it'll be even more fun to drive.

 

Lol! I already have a build thread going for the new car with some pictures. Hopefully I will have something to report from this weekend too.

The windshield was a big one....and a much needed addition. It's been on my list for a decade.

That profile and the whole package just screams vintage cool. I am sure its an incredible Hotrod to drive.

 

Really like that T, look forward to the next build.
