This is not mine. It was posted on a model T speedster Facebook page. A model T with a 28 Chevy engine ![ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks, lots of good stuff there.
I one of these build threads I remember seeing a copy of a magazine article on building a three springer race car based partially on Chevy parts....
Six Ball, I agree. I won’t throw it away, it could be fixed. The first block I got was a 28. It is incomplete, has a cracked water jacket, and...
Today I took the pan off of the 27 engine I dragged in this week. It has cast iron pistons, no shims and a badly worn camshaft. I put the pan back...
[ATTACH] That is a Green engineering chassis from the late 1920s. Here is a crop of the picture. [ATTACH] I just looked through the spring...
The front of this is conventional but the way the rear is hung is interesting. [ATTACH]
Thanks for the info on the distributor, I learned something new. I need to look at the other rear springs I have and count the leaves. I am afraid...
The steering wheel needs some glueing and a refinish. I probably won’t use the spark lever either as I plan on using a 28 distributor. This load...
As promised, a couple of pics. Even though the engine has some issues, pretty sure it ran in the last few years. It had new plugs, a freshly...
Yes, hopefully the tank is good. I have a good tank but this one has a gauge. I have a front end but that one is better. It is about 5 hours each...
[ATTACH] ROAD TRIP !!! Across two states into another for old Chevy parts. A nice person building a street rod gave me a truck load of 27 parts....
Funny the way things work … been hunting chassis parts for a few years, pretty much have what I need. Drove all over 5 states to gather it all up....
Yes when the time comes, figure I will make the sills, doors, door posts, and seat riser like a roadster, mount the fenders (temporarily) and go...
You all are doing a great job! I looked at some of the touring body parts yesterday, the wood is almost dust. I am not sure it is even useable for...
I looked at that earlier and for some reason it didn’t register. I read that it doesn’t remove paint, is that true? Is there somewhere I can get...
What are you all using for derusting? I have a sand blaster but am afraid to use it on some sheet metal for fear of ruining it. I tried...
I have read through the build thread. I am impressed by the displayed ability and tenacity. I have too many projects and I need to start getting...
I appreciate the build thread, I have been looking, it has a lot of useful info. The funny thing about these doors, I figured I would never find...
I honestly don’t think anyone is gonna pay $300 for a Chevy starting crank, but you never know. On another note … when I bought the 25 touring...
Thinking very seriously about going into business making hand cranks to fund my speedster project. I am pretty sure I could make some jigs and...
Definitely trying to build on the cheap. Everything I have have bought has been reasonably priced, some of it free, but I have way more in my...
UPS delivered a transmission crossmember today. Cost me less than a tank of gas including shipping, so I’m happy. It is for a 28. When the time...
Found these in my barn today, knew they were there just hadn’t seem ‘‘em for a while. I am thinking these might work on a Chevy four with another...
Just wondering if Scat would make a set of their rods a little wider and a little longer. Compared to the OX-1 rods on eBay the Svat rods are a...
Thanks for looking and for the info. Just trying to figure out what works. Chevy added that crossmember for a reason, so I probably need to run...
Does anyone have a parts book that would list the transmission crossmembers and bell housings by part number and application? I would like to know...
Here is a link to the T5 article, I don’t think you need special access to see it. Don’t know if you guys know about the VCCA speedster group....
Just wondering if any of you have seen the article on the VCCA Speedster sight on installing a T5 transmission. Looks interesting.
I checked the wheels today, they are exactly the same as the three good ones I already had, even had remains of the same apple green paint. The...
