Projects The '23 Fake T Project...

Just trying to piss off the Fad-T-bucket guys.

50's and early 60's buckets are cool!

I'm building a T roadster. 1962 style.

 

Bought some lower shock mount studs and a headlight bar at a swap a week ago.
This weekend I went to the local overpriced HotRod shop and got my shocks and steering u-joint and shaft.
I even managed to get some work done today!

A little more bending on those mounts and I'll have front shocks.
Drilling through that axle for the lower studs was a bitch!

 

Wow. Looks good. I'm jealous. You're going to have shocks that actually control axle movement. Unlike mine that are there only so I can say I have shocks. Hahaha.
I didn't know there were overpriced hot rod shops in your area. I thought everyone just built street rods. It maybe that's just here

Thanks man! We're trying to make this thing ride as well as we can.

I'm trying get back to work on it this weekend.

Stupid phone pics...

 

We've got rear shocks now too!

Ran out of oxygen before we could finished bending the front mounts.
They're really close to being right.

Made the template for the aluminum firewall.
It's was a pretty productive day.

 

....inch by inch, little by little, these construction thingees are mounting up. You're gonna have a hot rod soon.
This stuff is tough when you've got your own garage at home, so travelling an hour each way to another city on the weekends to work on it is even tougher. I feel your pain....but i also feel your elation when something gets done.....

 

We're working up to something kinda big..

Making sure everything is planned to get work done from an hour away blows.

The progress lately has made the drives worth it.

 

lookin good norton!

 

Good progress ---- keep it going!!

Oh yes please do !! JW

 

here is my ''23'' haha Half T.. guess thats bether than fake? but your car will be cool when its done!

 

That is cool. Just keep at it. A fun car is what it's all about!

 

Keep going! Can't wait to see more!

 

By chance, were you ever the coach of a league football team?

 

...nope....but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night and had a beer with the World's Most Interesting Man.....

 

Damnit! Now I'm jealous.

 

Geez thanks for all the replies!

Front shocks are on.
Inner and outer firewalls are layed out.
Went to go buy some rectangle tubing for my floor and they didn't have any.
So, that'll have to wait until next weekend.

 

It's looking the same but things are happening!

I need some headlights and an early A tailgate next.

 

Keep on movin! Love it.

 

You can use my Model A buckets for mock up...

Then make shop lamps out of them after.

 

This thing fought me all weekend!

Sometimes everything is hard.

 

...looks like some creative pedal solutions will be required. Either that or chop and channel your legs/feet.....hahaha

 

this is going to be the coolest T-bucket. Evar.

 

Love the progress brother.

Two thumbs up- norton G. Is Kenny your brother?

 

The grease you got on your legs sure makes some interesting shapes!

 

Thanks for the replies fellas! It's been a tough go at it lately.

Speedy, Pull them off and I'll get some headlight mounts made!!

I'm going to post this pic again to gain some feed back.
New support bearing in the mast jacket to support the shaft and a tab welded to the jacket and screwed to the firewall to support that??

I assume that's enough for that end...

Next is the knuckle and upper column mount...

That's going to have to wait until next weekend or so...
