    I know I've seen one but I can't find it..
    seems it was heavy on the late fifties early sixties style builds,
    anybody have a link?

    or maybe we could stat a new one,
    I never get tired of looking at pictures

    there seems to be many ways to build an ugly T roadster. my opinion is that the 40s and 50s saw the best examples of how well they can look.

    the T is a simple car... continue the simple design philosophy and i believe something very pleasing will be the end result. im 6', 1" and finding ways to not sit IN a T roadster isnt that difficult.. if a person is tall with a channeled body it'd give the illusion that he is sitting ON TOP of it..

    Wasn't there a '26-'27 T Roadster thread started a couple weeks ago? I am pretty sure there was one but any ways, Narvarro's T was Boss.

    I can find it either. Maybe I was thinking of T roadster thread.

    I really like the look of a Duvall style windshield on a '27. When I was building mine that was the plan, made an MDF pattern, actually bought a big sheet of 1/2" aluminum. What was planned was to make the outer piece out of half inch with a routed glass channel then sandwich a piece of 1/4" on the inside. I still have the pattern if you're interested in going that direction.

    sounds interesting
    I hadn't thought that far ahead yet,
    still thinking about drivetrain and chassis
    but do agree the Duval style works very well with that year body

  18. I would love to do this to mine, with crome split 'bones fore and aft, chrome juice brakes, and stock windshield stanctions. Anyone know the details on radiator and placement, I didn't see it in the link.

    'was watching Dragstrip Dobie for the umpteenth time just now

    anybody know if this car ever made it into any magazines for a feature,
    and if it did which one(s)?

    has what looks like a late 371 Olds with a Cad Lasalle top shift transmission

    here she is, quick mock-up
    I'm going to have to drop it little to get more of the style I'm after
    I do kinda like it high like this,
    I just don't think an overhead would look quite right sitting so high,
    was thinkin 303 Olds with four 2s, '37 Lasalle topshift, and V8 quickchange for drivetrain
    and maybe swap the 16s for 15s, channel it 3 or 4 inches and slight sweep of the frame in front with a short step in the rear...? dunno yet
