Open Wheel T's with hoods?

Like the title says, looking for lots of pictures of open wheel Model T's with hoods, preferably hot rods. Vintage racer style, salt flat racer ect. Just looking for some inspiration.

Thanks,

Colin

 

Here's a mock up I started last summer.
27 Model T with a 29 Model A hood and grill shell on an Model A frame.
I raised the T body 2' so the longer hood sides would fit.
I had to recurve the hood slightly to fit the T.
Wheels are 600 X 16"
Sometimes it looks like a hiboy style to me and at others it looks like a tractor.

 

1926 T with hood top.

 

I don't know what style you'd call mine except "home made" but it runs a hood.

Royalshifters Lil roadster drove me nuts,... wanted bad to buy it, but it was on the other side of the Nation,.. and my barn was totally full,...... What a cool Hot Rod !!!

Who owns it now ????

 

One word.... Navarro.

 

Here's my 27 on deuce rails hood and louvered side panels are aluminum.

 

Very nice rides. I've always liked Gene Winfield's 'The Thing'. Anybody have pictures of coupes with hoods?

 

Search Model T Modified.

I think that's what you want.

 

That hot rod rocks. Love the windshield.

 

Great pic!!!

 

My old #7

Very nice.

Do closed cars, aka a Tudor Sedan, count?

 

Actually I'd prefer to see closed cars! I'm collecting parts for a coupe build and thinking I want a hood on it. Just looking for ideas on what grille/hood combination would flow well, and whether or not my Cadillac 500 would stick way out the sides.

 

A hood keeps them quessing whats under it... or if ya run a Y-block without Thunderbird valve covers - ya still keep them guessing

27 Whippet... very popular in the 30's & 40's because it was the right hiegth for a T and was larger capacity... oh, Cute?

This thread that was to help find the history of the body has turned into a build thread for the hood & windshield

My favorite. I went on a hard search to contact the owner, but never connected with him. Car is from the UK. I did get several pictures that show quite a few details thatnks to a fellow member in the UK.
