Just north of you on Vancouver Island. Haven't been on the H.A.M.B. lately, but I had to check out your thread, as I also built a '27 T Tudor a few years ago. Keep up the good work and keep us posted! Here is a pic of our '27 T
Dustan I think you may have front end problems because of what appears to be a flat crossmember, you need to have at least 7 degrees on the cross member for proper axel caster, you've got to lay those king pins back for the car to handle right.. I read that you don't want to cut it, the crossmember, so you could buy adjustable spring pearches, then you can add caster as needed...Good Luck..
That very first photo looks really bitchin'. I kind of thought this build was going to be a Lil' John style.
I like it. I like the wheelbase length. I like the stance. I like the tall T windows. My grandfather told me " To never kick another man's dog." , so please take this as constructive criticism only. The plain body with the painted frame & firewall isn't working for me.
Thank you. I understand that's just personal preference. I have had a couple of people look at it and say are you painting it but I have had more say don't paint it haha. If I keep it long enough I might paint it the same green but flat.I honestly like it bare metal because you see how good of shape the body is really in. It's not covered up with mud.oh and the reason for the painted firewall was wanted to show that if I wanted to paint it I would have. Also it was in the back of my mind if I want to paint it later the firewall would be the hard part so I painted it now
Got my tail lights/turn signals installed. Got them when I was going through some of my grandpas stuff. I'm pretty sure they are fender lights off of either his 1938-1939 Chevy. They worked out well.
My first thought on the lights, I don't like them but totally understand you wanting to use them if they came out of your grandpa's stash, so I will reserve judgment until I can get used to them. Just my .02 and please don't take offense, I am trying to not be too critical and voicing my thoughts, for what they are worth.
Yeah at first I was like they will look really cool but after I put them on I was like meh...haha too late now but I'm sure he would be happy I used em for something.
Started my transmission and driveline tunnel tonight. Need to make mounting flanges around it and maybe some type of upholder and consol.
Nothing annoys me more when driving a car then a car without a cup holder. I have to have my energy drink on my way to work!
