Here are some progress photos of our '27 T Coupe Project. The body, from the Monroe Swap Meet sat in the garage for 9 years before finally starting on the project in January 2011. It's a roller now and with a little luck will be on the road in the late spring.
Looks cool! take 3" out of that header and get the windshield lined back up with the doors!! Looks much better that way!
That's a very stylish job so far. Since you are new to the area join the NW HAMB social group and keep us locals posted on your progress.
I told Ya if You brought up some acid that things would get bluurrry. Damn the cars lookin very cool. I love that fuel manifold. The ch***is looks awsome, and nice stance to boot.It was fun havin You Guys up, I just love cutting up original Henry Metal. FEDER
Looks like the "unknown" rod builders are at it again. Maybe he thought that the Ranchero wheels were too ugly for Hamb consumption. The coupe is starting to look great though.
So, who is building this for you? I take it that you are not doing it yourself. Not that it really matters.
Yeah, I got carried away when I found the swirly tool in the photo editing program. Actually the wheels are just plain old slot mags and they do look a bit better without the swirly ****!

Dallas, TX Chapter Outside of having a couple of friends do the top chop and the body sectioning, two of us are building every bit of it in the driveway under a 10'x20' tent! It's backyard built all the way. The "tent" of course has lighting, 110v, 220v and is plumbed for air. Oh yeah, it has forced air heat too!
If I didn't already have too many rods in the works,I'd also be looking to build a "T"coupe,love it,looks good!
Can't wait to see this in person, perhaps 2012 you will bring it to the **X Root Beer in Issaquah for one of the shows. Quality build, you guys do some nice work. I really like the way you laid out wood 2x4's first.
How much was the chop? I'm digging that frame. Was the front spring-mounting bracket something commercially available, or did you have to fabricate that from scratch?

Howdy Southfork, The chop was 8" and the section was 4". The commercially available perches didn't have the drop I was after so I just whittled one out of some 5/16" plate.
Hey, thanks for the compliment. I'm sure we'll be at the **X in 2012. Give us a holler. Yeah, the wood frame rails helped iron out some of the kinks in the design before too much metal got wasted. Being a woodworker by trade I tend to make wood patterns for just about everything I'm trying to create. I've even whittled one out in the shape of my next girlfriend.... we'll see how that turns out.
