paul said it best how you have set the mood for the entire build. im also building a 27 coupe and cant wait to see the progress on yours. i like the chop a lot by the way keith
**** i knew i would be sick when i sold it. Damn damn damn. Sam you got the chop perfect exactly what i imagined. now i'm sorry i sold it but my wagon is calling and i can't fit five in the coupe. i wish you the best with it I know it will turn out ***s. remember you owe me a ride when its done. later CEDAR SPEED
Looks cool man! I too have one of those stashed away in my "shed of joy". Ha Ha Ha I think I have just about enough stuff to build it now. I just need to get a couple of other pesky projects out of the way first. I have been keeping an eye on all of these other builds for some idears on mine. So are you gonna keep this one? ha ha ha
HOT ROD!,,,i can picture the look i am going after in my head,,,but im still kicking around ideas about frame,, not sure if i want to modify a model A frame with drop axle under frame or a 2X3 frame with spring behind axle with bobbed frame horns,,,even been thinking about sitting it on a set of aftermarket 32 rails pinched and pulled in to fit the T body??? but ,,i am really not even near ready for that yet,,i want to get the body all dialed in before i even start to do the ch***is,,, hahaha,,i am going to try this time! haha for real though,... the plan is to just play with this one for a while,,i am not in a hurry to rush and get it done this time and just plan on collecting parts along the way.... later, sam
ive been told this as well my coupe had timber below the quarter windows and down the sides of the rear window but steel framed as well around the rear window and inside the trunk area,and was told this means 26,but cant confirm either
I always like to watch and see what your up to Sam. And this time you've pissed me off. Miss Tina and always keep our eyes open for a tall T body just like that. Oh well our day will come. Difference is we don't want a chop, kinda like the cartoon look you know? And to balance it out make it full fendered.... But I didn't mean to talk about us. And I'll tell somthing else. As much as I loved your 56's old paint, I just LOVE the new. Can't wait to watch the progress!
As I mentioned awhile back, I really like your "T", say Christmas is coming and I would'nt mind finding that Christmas morning and.....
haha hey terry,,long time no talk,,the tall T's full fendered look good! there is a pic of a very cool looking one in the rodders journal article on joe barnnett from a couple years ago... ..and you dont even want to know how many people i pissed off repainting my '56 lol i posted some minor updates on the T last night,,, >>>> http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=143629
Chop's rite ON Sammy...... Reminds me a little of Lil Br0ther- Reggie's copper one....I think you nailed it with the lower chop and "restraint" in the rear view area..... Some Cali guy ,said once here an angled chop was a st rod chop ... I say a flat chop on a T is like just having a tree fall on it instead.....
