Projects 1927 T Roadster Build

I farmed out the floor beads to a local shop call Rods and Restos in Strathmore, Alberta, and he formed them in the power hammer

 

Eventually, I have a 39 rear axle and a full set of juice brakes for it. I have a 32 K member I am going to install later down the line. I still need to find some 32 pedals as well

 

I’ve heard about swapping the 59 A heads on but not really looked into too much.

 

I thought I’d share some updates on the model T. I got the V8 swap finished in summer of last year. It’s been nice driving it around with the V8. Attended a few shows etc. I’ll post some more of the build pics from last year though.
So in a swap meet a few years ago I found the remains of a Willy’s Whippet radiator surround that I wanted to use. It was quite manglers and the bottom section of the surround was missing. I visited Dons Radiator in Lethbridge who had built some Willy’s radiators. I was able to get some measurements off one of his radiators and surrounds and asked him to build a radiator for the car. I then rebuilt the bottom section of the surround to fit the new radiator

 

Looking good. JW

 

Thanks

 

Good fix!
