History Y Block '26-'27 T

Anyone know who's car this is?

 

No, but I like it.

 

Is this the same car? It was at The Jalopy Showdown this year but I did not get a chance to talk to the owner.

 

Yes.

 

I have met him at Junior Kelley's house. I think he lives around York PA. The car is spectacular and the workmanship / design is some of the best I have seen

 

Yeah that's mine.

 

Wasn't it at Detroit Autorama 2 years ago? Downstairs?

 

Wish it was mine, awesome car

 

Thanks, it was at detroit, had a good time there.

 

I thought so. I told my brother if I have another build in me it's going to be a T roadster similar to yours. Great car.

 

Not usually a fan of T's but that one is pretty BA. Big fan of the Y-Block too.

 

Am working on a '26 roadster now and already had pics of this one saved for inspiration. I'm going for a very similar look. Very nice, I must say.

Not every T roadster has to look like a cartoon dune buggy.

 

Jons car has been in my personal HAMB top 5 ever since I first saw it in Rod & Kulture. A real knockout.

 

Dayam!!!!!

 

It is a beautiful car. Love the Y-block. It appears that is has made the rounds, too.

 

Jon, do you have any photos of the bare chassis when it was being built? I'd especially like to see the front 1/3.

 

Read my mind.

This car is about as close to perfect as I've seen.

 

How about it Jon?

 

I had to resize some pictures, and let me tell you I need to take a class on that.

 

Beautiful car Jon!

 

Very nice car.

 

As most know i'm very fond of 26-27 roadtsters and RPU's, Jon yours is simply stunning with perfect balance. Very nice car indeed. JW

 

Thanks for all the kind words.

 

I'm wondering about the radiator, hoses, fan, etc.

 

The radiator is a chopped 32, 6 in. I believe and a cut down 4 blade fan the front crossmember has notch to clear the lower rad hose.

 

Sorry it took me so long to find my way back here, thanks for the photo Jon, perfect. Man, thats pretty trick. Nice work.

 

That is a very nice T, Y block even....
