I would love to see more of this one
I seem to remember building a T bucket model back in the 70s called "the rodfather", anyone else?
I love stories about Fageol, all of his projects where weird and cool, most involving multiple engines.
I love this car, where is more info on it?
Is this a stretched body? Looks roomy but the car looks really good proportion wise.
And that's how you build a T with some leg room!
Harbor freight load tester, like 18 bucks, find myself grabbing it all the time, it is also an easy to read volt meter, didn't even know that I...
The novi never used head gaskets, those are the cam towers
Don Zig magnetos was always the go to for repairs back when they were the hot setup for racing, looks like they are still around too, comes up on...
Appears to be the il fated "city of salt lake" before paint, never seen it like that before.
I am always amazed at the workmanship on these old cars at a time when information on how to do these things was very hard to come by I would assume.
This is a very important point, I have a large industrial compressor and still can only blast for maybe 5 minutes before having to stop and let...
I have had a lot of success with VHT high temp paint, follow the instructions exactly and it turns out really nice and durable, you would have to...
that ranchero must have had some serious overload springs, I love details like that in these old photos.
speechless
Modern version, common for racecar repair.
I really dig the way they angle cut the cowl on that car, never seen that before, or never noticed it anyway.
Was definately built by Randy Gribble, I remember stopping by there when he was working on it, if I remember correctly the sinclair logo and...
That sure sounds like a neat car to a 6'4" guy!
Tell us about the stretched '32 roadster body
Bump steer police should be here any time, lol (and they are not wrong)
Wow, in 40 years of totally abusing GM spindles on dirt track cars I have never seen one break like that.
If the original was PBY wing struts I would be surprised if they and thicker than .049
I also resurrected an original '35 chevy gauge using that method, works perfect.
This T has a perfect stance, not the only thing in this picture that has that.
Traditional hot rodding at its finest, use what ya got or what you can get cheap, turned out great!
I believe sierra was Dan Press
Another great piece by Brian Lohnes, his stuff always makes my day.
Better take it up with the SCTA and NHRA, I'm going with their definition. It's traditional.
Just out of curiosity, what is it that makes that car OT?
Separate names with a comma.
