project: T bomber

so ive been on here for a little while now but never shared whats going on in my garage, so here i go. it used to be a model t five window coupe but the top had to go, it was bad. motor comes from a 1951 chev 216 straight six mated to mid to late 80's s10 5 speed to a mid 80's cutless read end. frame is model A, cheese holed and z'd. interior is just a simple made dash and a old jeep seat modified to fit then covered in mexican burlap coffee bean bag.












couple of show shots

not done yet.

nicely done

 

Badass! I got a 24 model t that was cut to a roaster. And that's pretty close to what I'm aiming for.

 

did you make your own t5 adapter?. i have done one out of a cut up v6 bell. nice job on the car, looks like alot of fun

 

unfortunatly no, it can from hot rod works, it is alot of fun!

thanks guys

 

I'm curious what all you've done or not done with the 216. Is there anything going on other than the open headers and dual carb setup?

 

its a stock 216 other then a custom intake/exhaust manifold that i made.

 

Nice! My boss apparently ran a warmed over 216 similar to that in a 57 Chevy he had in high school when his 235 gave up back in the ??'s.
