Nice job Aaron! I have been checking in occasionally, but you must have made a run at the end, leaving me in the dust! Mine is mostly back...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] The first year got me to the mock-up stage as pictured. Nothing really concrete. A few re-do pieces. Okay, a lot of re do...
Obviously been off this forum for awhile and no longer know how to play in the sandbox. Merging my message with a quote took a lot of effort, let...
I did a 3 on the tree on my 1929 Model A coupe (Special converted to Std - Whew - another topic for sure!!) Wanted to do it the old hot rodder...
Hey Piewagn, This is the first I have read your post, and am surprised what a similar path we are on with our projects. I have not done a build...
The PO collected parts for the project, but didnt know the nuances between the years. I took it and ran with it. Makes a nice spot for the...
My last post was Jan 29 of last year before the truck hit the road. Here are pics of it literally on the road. It was mocked up for the next...
Progress pic following my post about a year ago on this thread...
Well worth it. I own two MG's - an MGB and a MGA. Both fun to drive on curvy roads. Neither can keep up with the Jag/T-bird combo! John L.
I used a spacer/adapter to go to 5/108mm which is the odd ball T-bird size to match my rear. The spacer added 1.25" which also allowed identical...
I just powered up the CPP frame mount kit. Must say it fit like a glove without a hitch. A couple of after effects however, like mentioned. But...
Way to stay with it - I just found your post for the first time, so I'm glad you brought it up to date. I started my 56 about the same time as...
Welcome from Lynden, WA! I am street rodding a 56 F100 so I am generally just lurking. But still learn a ton from everyone. John L.
Hi from Washington state. I am a newbie too, with long stretches between posts (mostly cause I took the street rod route, although there's plenty...
Jag IFS/T-bird IRS bags all around. Work In Process!
Progress since post # 2332 showing the mock-up prior to new wheels to set ride height. Then it gets torn down to bare frame again. John L.
Super Holmsey - exactly what I need, as I used your "as finished" stance and footprint as a starting point in discussion with a tire/wheel...
We dont get an overwhelming amount of snow so close to the water in the PNW, but occasionally it dumps. When it does, my road typically gets...
Dec 3, 2011. My middle daughter would get married in 2 wks. My wife had informed me earlier in the year "no more car expenses until after the...
I hope chuffed is a good thing! Haha! I only need the front offset, as my rear is a T-bird and stock appears to be fairly close on offset. The...
Appreciated. Keeping an eye on this thread. Up to "me" eyeballs in 89 T-bird wiring harness. Man these modern engines have a lot of electronics...
Yeah, thats where I first caught sight of his wheel set-up. Went through the entire thread a couple of times. Holmsey should be a TV host! John L.
I will not be disappointed if my fit ends up looking as good as yours! Did you do bags all around? I like the rake. John L.
Holmsey, can you find the front offset you used? I used the Jag like you did on the front, and right now the front wheels appear too far inboard....
Thanks to my worldwide search for you Holmsey, I have now joined the UK forum you purportedly frequent! Ha - I got a fine welcome over there, so...
Great show! First GG I have been able to get to. Much nicer in the sun than in my rainy region. Totally lucked out to be here at the right time!...
Okay - thanks. He posted a link to his fine build thread on here, so I thought he might lurk. I had also sent an e-mail through his Hot Rod UK...
I am trying to make contact with HAMB member Holmsey. I e-mailed through his UK website a month ago, but no response. Would like to discuss his...
It's getting there! T-bird IRS and 3.8L V6 super charged. Jag IFS. Everything fits like it was part of the original design! John L.
