    I'm looking for more info on, and more pics of, this Model T. The pic came from the Hot Rod Hayride thread originally I think. I've been staring at this pic for a long time.

    Thanks guys. I thought it looked like it had a 2.0 or 2.3 Ford in it.

    I was hoping someone on here owned it or knew the guy that owned it, or maybe had some more pics of it.

    A part of me REALLY wants to duplicate the car and put an almost totally stock flathead in it with a S10 T5.
     
  5. I know the guy
    If I get time I will see him the weekend and get some more pics for you

    Thought I'd dig this one up one more time to see if anyone has any info or any other pics of it.

    Taildraggin' tried to help me out and connect me with the owner (couple times and thanks for trying by the way) but no response from him so far.

    Looking for any info I can get.

    These were both taken from the reliability run 4 or 5 yrs ago, the roadside shot is repairing a broken clutch cable.

    Thanks. I'm looking for anything I can see. I'm curious about the tire sizes (are hey all the same size or big/little?, 16" wheels?), the rear suspension setup, the frame, the engine and trans. Which with a T is pretty much the entire thing.

    I'd love an interior shot if possible. This little car really talks to me and I'd like to get as much technical info about it as I can.
     
  13. Heres a few more pics I have

    Sorry Tim , meant to reply sooner !

    I looked everywhere a**** the 2000+ cars at Wheels Day but either it wasn't there or it was disguised as a PT Cruiser (Don't ask !!) .

    Sorry chap , maybe someone more local to the owner could get some snaps ?

    OK. Thanks for looking.

    If anyone see's the car at a show and can snap some pics of it, I would be most appreciative.

    I wish I could speak with the owner, but it doesn't seem to be in the cards.
