There are one or two threads here with refference to it. The son of the guy who built it is a member here. There is a 190ish page thread following it's entire build at...... http://clubhotrod.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23618
Man I love the last car and I would kill for thoes slicks..........Just wondering? why the top sits so high in the front is the windshield to high in the front????
I think its the "side" cut that makes it look like that.I noticed that on a few other ones. I think Ivos was like that jimV
I remember this on ePay a little while ago - a few thousand miles and a few thousand dollars too far for me! Don't think it met the reserve then - did it sell in the end?
A mate built this back the '80s (actually rebuilt is more accurate as it was originally built in '72). It has a 2-1/2 litre Daimler hemi.

Royalshifter knew it as a local Fresno car when I posted the above pics in the "60's Style Rod" thread. Yeah VonFranco, how perfect are those slicks on the reversed Merc wheels? I'll attach more pics showing what I believe is an uncut w/s frame on that car. It appears the top comes down maybe 2" to meet the front... Funny seeing the gamut of T's in this thread...
If I had the money for that green T it would be mine it is all steel and the real deal......has been stored away after the show circuit maybe since 1962 a true timewarp. Still available I think for $18,000
Unbelievable it hasn't yet sold at that price! Alan Kahan (Aaron's dad) sent me the link to that back in August, and I know he was seriously tempted then... with all the interest in "survivor" cars now, you'd think finding the right buyer would only be a short trip to the GNRS or the LA Roadsters' show away...
Which one? The green one appears to have Cragar S/S on the back with either Astro smoothies or Halibrands up front... could use a larger scan of that one. The BEAUTIFUL black one has early ('37-'40?) Ford 16" steelies... the fronts look skinny enough to be V8-60's?
This car was built using a fiberglass body, not sure who's though. Now I know you guys hate the turm ratrod, however, for anybody that may be interested you can find his build thread over at www.ratrodsrule.com. Just do a search for donsrods or I'm a happy camper. You will be truely impressed with his building skills on this T.
T buckets can be awsome... i just wish i was closer to being done with mine!!! these pictures are outdated, because I have a transmission, and have the front axle mounted, and the front brakes... slowly, but its getting there... and a really crappy pic, but its the only one I have with the rear end in place... I also have a little helper in the shop... cranky the connecting rod!!! he likes to hold sharpies so i dont loose them...
Normally I would not like a car like this...but it has a certain Hot Wheels look to it and it makes me like it. You can probably drive the living hell out of it as it has sooo much tire for grip.
Here is my Water heater, Runs best when it's cold outside (35F). Drove it to Vernals Saturday morning for breakfast, ran great. It's a never ending project , but gets better every year...
Dang! Can't you guys keep a secret? Shhhh! Close this thread quick before you drive up the price of T's.
here is one that my buddy steve and i are doing this winter . we're gonna bomb around in it with a for sale sign in it and if it sells we'll start on another one and if it don't we'll be stuck with a bitchin bucket rod . jp
