Features Who's Building a T?

I like it and it still looks right for the car...

 

Oh and that was on Pendine Sands this morning…

 

Here's my 1922 depot hack ive been building for a few years

 

@daniel828, very cool!

 

A good friend of mine just started a 27 ford

 

Model T hot rods are totally cool.
Some pictures of my 26 RPU are in this thread earlier on during construction, now that its on the road it’s definitely cool.
This was today adding some miles and smiles.

 

Pulled the J2 tri-power off the 371 in the '23 and am putting a dual four setup on.
Got the linkage sorted out, need to get return springs, fuel line, coil mounted, plug wires secure and some other minor stuff done,
So yeah, I'm still building T's.

 

@Paul, I love seeing your car. It is just so “right”!

 

Paul and Blue One. Awesome T’s! Also I replaced the front shackles on the front spring because the ones I was using had broken dried bushings. The A front crossmember doesn’t seem to need modifying for T fenders.

 

Made a real basic interior for my '26 in anticipation of racing at Sanford Field in a couple weeks.

 

squablow, that is exactly like the T i am going to build some day. mine will be a '23 T though. it will have the complete drive train from a '33 ford.

 

Took a 26/7 T coupe body that was in pieces on trade Saturday. I joked that I had enough parts to build it laying in the shop. Got the body together and the top chop started. If I pull it off, I am going to try to make it to Sanford field next weekend. Working on a customers A roadster half of the day and this half of the day. I have a 33 Canadian flathead and trans, a shortened torque tube, a bunch of rear ends, front axle options etc. Willy Makeit, Illustrated by I. Have Doubts...

 

If you can pull that off, I would be super impressed. Go man, go!

 

This one took 37 days of nights and weekends with a few days off for being out of town. Now I can spend all day if I want, but have to work on customer cars to pay the bills.

 

I'd like to see more pic's of this cab, especially from the side.

Just an update.

 

Is that a fiberglass body? If it is I've never seen one like it. In any case, do you have any other photos of it?

Yes, I was interested as it looks similar to mine, but I have not chopped mine.
Mine is all steel.
Metal work done in CO a few years ago now.

 

It's from RUSSNOMORE

 

Wow, thanks for sharing.
Different to mine then.
I have the quarter window.
My body was a T coupe with the back cut off basiaclly.
Not that simple but that is roughly what happened.
I'm running a 116" wheel base with rear 4 bar and coil overs.
Also a slightly shortened repro Model A pickup box, made to measure for me by Last Refuge Hot Rod Parts in CO.
I think he now calles himself Norbparts...

 

Any updates @Woodsie ?loving that one

 

Hey all, here's an update on mine. I picked up a 32 Plymouth Sedan on a deal I couldn't pass up. I already had a 62 Biscayne project and a Race Car and I was out of room, so... I reluctantly decided to sell my T Coupe. Took the car to the two biggest hot rod shows in the area that had swap meets. Sold the car quickly at both shows and both deals fell through. I'd taken a non refundable deposit the first time so that was good. My wife said that was a sign, I agreed. I found reasonably priced storage so I'm keeping her. All I can say right now is..."to be continued"
Hope everyone is doing well especially @AndersF. Hey Anders, I know you were going through some tough times, how about an update on yours?

 

Made it this far. Had to roll it outside for awhile because I need the space. I through it on Marketplace but no takers yet. If not gone before Christmas I will take it apart and let the body be yard art until I get back to it in the spring. Too many irons in the fire and this was the least important.

 

That is not yard art. Find a place to keep her warm

 

The building is full. Customer A roadster is now staying for paint so it is apart taking up 2 spots, My 37 Chevy sedan, the 47 Ford coupe getting the top chopped, a 32 3 window, a 27 T roadster pickup and all of the other bodies and tools barely leave enough room to turn around let alone work. There are a couple 32 3 window bodies, 2 47 Ford 4 doors and my 36 Ford Roadster Ute outside to keep this T coupe company so it won't feel alone.

 

The tough times is getting better and i get things done again. But not on the T.
But i hope to have a update coming soon.

 

Good to hear, take care . JW

 

I am still doing the odd little thing on mine as i have now been able to start the VIN process, once that is done then Certification, i will need cycle style fenders for that but they will come off once cert is done an dusted. JW

 

<<< Mine. More fun than a barrell of monkeys............
