Had the hotrod out for one last ride this season

Most likely, its been getting colder and heading into a Michigan winter I decided to get it out of the garage, dust it off and go for a spirited run.

When I got back I was cold, a little wind burned but I enjoyed every minute of it, I hope I get another chance this year but I did take some pics when I got home to enjoy through the snowy months.

 

What a little cutie....dash made from a buick straight 8 valve cover? nice roaster..or "freezer". Snow here and 33 degrees.

 

nice heater

 

nice ride, worth gettin a little cold for. id drive it in winter to.

 

Love that dash. Looks like those tire will give high floatation in the snow. Why you wanna put it away for the winter? That's trailer queen speak!

 

Move to New Zealand.... we drive 'em all year round.

BTW; cool bucket.

 

There are ton's of better cars on here than in the mags. Great car.

 

16F here and snow.... had my last ride for the year two weeks ago... nice looking ride...

 

I'm this > < close to offering a trade in weather. It was 92 with a feels like 102deg yesterday and today. Maybe the weather will give us a break in a couple of weeks. I'm hoping it will cool off a bit so I can work in the garage without needing to drink a gallon of water every hour or so.


Edit: Sweet car, almost forgot why I wanted to post.

 

been cold and wet here for over a week,still looking to take mine out for one last run too. Love your car.looks like a fun ride.

 

Send it California and I'll keep it warm for you...

I remember reading your tech thread on the dash.
It came out great!

 

That dash is tits!!! Lots of very nice detail on your car - I especially like the alternator mount/cover. All-around sweet!

 

first time I ever saw a T I liked. Nice job!

nothing against any others, I just can't fit in them (tall), so they are not of interest.

you did a great job!

 

Yep, it was a spare from my old '52 - 320 to be exact.

I know, I'm getting ready to polish my gold chain as we speak.

I wouldn't mind the snow believe it or not, it's the cold without anything to enjoy that bothers me - I still haven't put the gas line out to my garage yet so it may be another cold winter in there unless I can get off my ass and do it.

I don't really care for the heat either, 80's seems damn hot to me. Give me 50-75 and I'm good.

To all, thank you very much for the compliments, much appreciated. I still got a long way to go in my eyes, I need to hard line the carbs, needs cheaters out back and bombers inside.

 

cool

 

Nice....we still have some warm weather left...lots of rain but its warm

 

I like that alternator cover. Covers that ugly thing up creatively.
Great work. I like it.

 

The alternator cover was a junkyard score from a 70's Volvo belt guard. I had to do some slight modification but other than that it went on pretty easy. When I saw it in the yard I knew exactly why I needed it

 

until the snow flies and theres salt on the roads, i'd be driving that car as much as possible. nice car.

 

I really like your alternator bracket.....cool car too..........

 

I've always love T roadsters. Your is one of the nicest I have ever seen without a doubt. Someday I will have one. Nice!! Todd

 

I should get me one of those leather helmets and goggles

 

Thats a damn nice T.

 

Great looking ride - been a brisk day here even as far south as we are today ....

I see you have the split 4-bbl to 2 deuces - are they progressive? How do they run? I'm running a similar setup on a flattie in the avatar that I have not fired yet but I was just curious. I got my stuff from Vintage Speed ...

 

Last ride of the season?? Green leaves still on the trees....I wait until the first salting of the roads...nice bucket!

 

ha ha someone else crazy too, I took mine into work last week and was frozen with an ear to ear grin sitting on my face. I run mine right up till the first salting, I had it oult last year and it was almost in the teens.
That car looks good by the way

 

Very nice car. Good work.

 

looks great , needs an alliance plate!

 

Last ride? What? I drive 'em till snow flies over here in balmy Kalamazoo! Nice car BTW, and I love the Buick valve cover dash. Glad to see the finished version!

I'll call ya when it snows and you can watch me take the boys to school !!! they love it !!!we must be kinda crazy tho .............
