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

@J.Ukrop listen to that sweet music! Inspiration, you’re next!

 

Sounds Great, Wish I could have made it.

 

What could be more perfect? A shop dog, a bunch of buddies, AND a suitcase of PBR and Fat Tire.

 

Somehow missed this entire thread, gonna have to go back through and get caught up. Looks awesome though!

 

What a sweet HOT ROD!

 

Congratulations on getting accepted into the GNRS, definitely deserving.
I took the time off, hope everything else lines up so I can tag along.

 

We got the T back from upholstery today. Pictures coming tomorrow.

 

Here it is!

 

Beautiful! I still like the modified

 

The upholstery looks great! How did he attach the roll at the top to the body? Stapled or nailed to the wood and then hidem to cover it?

 

Staples into the wood I built. Trim guy couldn’t get hidem the same color as the material so he made his own and stapled it thru the stitched seam. I can see the staples so I bought some satin brown paint that I will carefully dab and hopefully make them be a little less noticeable.

 

Looks great

 

Very nice! It looks comfortable with good lumbar support.
I think you picked a great color and the style fits the build really well.
I cant wait to see it in person at the GNRS.
How about a pic with you in it.

 

Oh I’m going to surprise you in Pomona. If I take a picture now it will go viral,I’ll get a big head and treat everyone like second class citizens! Hahaha!!

 

Beautiful!!

 

Any recommendations from the trimmer about the wood strip? Should it be tall or short? Inset or flush?

I’ll need to make a couple for the T touring I’m building and want to make it easier for the trimmer to get best results.

 

If you go back to page 14 of this build thread you can see how I made mine. Very time consuming with a lot of pieces glued together and then sand sand sand. I’m a trim carpenter by trade so it wasn’t a big deal for me.

 

We had to take the generator back to the shop that changed it over to 12v as it was making some noise. Since it is off I thought I would make a stainless cover I’m getting it roughed out. I know I can buy one of these covers but what fun would that be?

 

Looks great like the rest of the car.

 

Clever idea

 

did he do the floor covering too?

 

No I did that.
