tip top...a little machining was done on the inside releafs , the side plat needed some shaving as well as the intake.
This coupe is going to look awsome when it's done... Body looks great for a first timer! That banger came out beautiful as well...
Paints done, body blocks in place, body bolts are tight. Got a call the wheels are done getting powder coated and the headers are finished being ceramic coated. Gl*** ordered...man that expensive and takes a long time to get..20 days. Need to decide on which tires to run..16x 650's or 750's. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!

Joe, Slow down and let me catch up! Keith Streetrods maybe driven by Chevy, but hotrods are powered by FORD!
your lightning fast pace I'm expecting your next post to be "youtube clip, just drove it around the block" Wish I could build at your pace
So hood work was started...going to take some extra love on that ****er..looks like it was painted with jell coat. Fab'ed the tail light and plate mount and got that set. Nothing like drilling holes in your fresh paint to get you going in the cold morning. Than I had to get down a model T tank from a shelf way up high. And I just sat there looking at all the cars my pop has built and we have wrenched on. I'll post my picture tomorrow...it was a good Sunday for sure Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
How cold was your morning? It was in the single digits with the wind all day here in the region. Streetrods maybe driven by Chevy, but hotrods are powered by FORD!

It's the Midwest. It will be -7 with the windchill tomorrow. Streetrods maybe driven by Chevy, but hotrods are powered by FORD!
Today I helped service 4 model T's with my dads friends. The older one at 78 and drives his 27 t truck everyday. After we were done it was all hands on deck in my coupe..wired, door handles , headers and intake mounted. Seat and steering column also installed. Jones'ing to take this bad girl out.

hoods painted. Need to figure out how I want to secure it. Hood straps or some type of bracket....need to also mail down a small carb issue. Anyone a Stromberg expert in Southern CA that works for beer?
So we are road worthy ...drove it home last night...still need to clean up the wiring. Also make hard lines for the fuel and install the gl***. Good news is my pop was driving his truck behind me and said I was moving along at 50 mph. And thst was in fourth with plenty of peddle left. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
