What a great T! Beautiful job...Drivin' and grinnin' is what it's all about now.. enjoy.
My avatar car has a T rear spring sitting on a stock A rear end. The T spring is lower by several inches which is why I chose to use it. I can't...
I've always wanted to do this with something like an old Norton 750 one-lunger. But tanks are getting scarce. It will be cool...even if you...
Forgot to mention too, if you notice, the radius rods are original Model T, not after market. The lowering bracket also made it easier to adapt...
I had a set of the Laurel type lowing blocks for the front end but didn't like them, couldn't get the spring to sit right. The brackets I used...
Forgot to add the pics...here they are.
Got the headlights installed. Had to think about how to do it. They are aerodynamic and rock solid. Also got the numbers on (I was born in...
You are not missing anything. I wanted to her fired up and only had one carb (NH) ready to go. I will put the second one on in the next few...
Thanks. Frame rail covers were an afterthought. Just didn't like the bare-assed frame hanging out there. The steeringi is not stock. Tried...
It's a stock '23 T frame. Not pinched at the rear mounts. Might have that appearance because the engine is at a 3 degree angle to mate with the...
Thanks. I didn't use the entire Pontiac oil pump, just the gears (ebay, $8). I believe they are 40 or 41. But actually any gear set would work....
Here are some pics of the engine. I am not good at photography but you'll get the idea. The head is '28 Chev. I was going to hog out the...
You talking Wendy's in Crystal River by any chance?
That would be fun. I can't figure out the rules though. They seem to say no non-stock cars. Although this car is a T at its heart it is highly...
Yup, A drive train. I always wanted to adapt an A tranny to the T. So I did. Adapter was a bear to machine but worked out well. This lead to...
Been restoring T's for almost 40 years. Always wanted to do a T rod, so to speak. This is what I came up with. Not finished but good enough to...
Don't know about the B conversion but I did the T conversion using '28 Chev head on '26 T block. Don't know or care how practical it is; it looked...
Been working on a '26T racer. The objective has been to build the car by hand as much a possible like guys with not much money would have done...
Imagine roaring down Rt.66 in this! Anybody have a guess as to what that engine is?
For anyone who might mis it; there is a pretty good looking '28 engine freshly listed on eBay. It's in eBay motors; vintage; parts& accessories,...
You gotta be kidding! What a collection of heart stoppers. What was for lunch?
Mac; sorry to ignore your question. Yes, when I get into it I will document the teardown and post pics. Always fun to see these old guys come...
Thanks for the input re the fan shroud. I had no idea. It will be restored with great care. Should look good on a roadster. Are the two...
Scored this one on eBay. The owner said it was the third time he had listed it but nobody wanted it. I think because of all the heavy metal...
Being closer to 70 than 60 there is no right or wrong answer to this question for me. Big V-8, small V-8, flat head v-8, straight 6, four banger,...
My shop is in the woods not far from the Gulf of Mexico in central Florida. When I work at night my biggest human pain in the ass is all of my...
