This is in my '37 Club Coupe. Yes I know it is the wrong way round.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Quite a lot take the chance. It doesn't seem to be such a problem to the police but the rules are still there. There are always attempts to change...
The last lot.

Can we have a pic of the whole car? That front end is just a tease.

Welcome. Looks like you've been studying the Hamb. You are on the right track.
My 1946 Mercury ute is 17.5 feet long so a coupe will be close to that.
Here's a few from Australia.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I made a hardwood dash for the T in my avatar. It looked great but cost plenty. It was 1 inch thick so I could recess the gauges and switches. The...
I obviously don't hate T buckets. They can be the most fun on 4 wheels. If you can build it with old Ford parts it will fit right in.
Sure can. No snow here.
First thing to do is join or talk to your local Hot Rod club. They will know the engineers in your area. Repro chassis is not impossible in NSW so...

Use '37 to '39 drums.
I'm an Aussie and have bought a lot from the US. Paypal is the safest for both you and the buyer. Yes, there are charges at your end but you can...
That's a very cool car. You proved Hot Rods don't need chrome.
T Buckets are such a light and short chassis they can be twitchy. Make sure the camber and caster on the front wheels is right. A short light car...
Do you have a mechanical fuel pump? If you do, does it have a ruptured diaphragm leaking into the sump?
About 35 years ago I worked for Lynx Engineering in Sydney, Australia who invented this style of air filter. At that time these "Ram-flo" filters...
I'm in Australia and buy a lot from them. Good prices, fast shipping and good quality.
