Projects 26 T Roadster Pick Up build Thread

Another drive today and Jan joined me.
A little cruise through a local park and then to our favourite Tim Hortons for coffee.

Some more smiles and kilometres.


Then back home to enjoy some patio time with a view

 

I’m out driving around now.
Somehow I just can’t seem to stop.

Of course I did have to stop to post this

My old parking spot at the college.

 

So cool! I think it is smiling too. It looks comfortable outside.

 

Good stuff Larry. I hope you don't get a letter in the mail in a couple of weeks from your trip on the Henday. They have been out in force the last few times I have been on it.

 

Thanks, I think I’ll be okay, I keep a close eye out for where they are and I can usually spot them before it’s too late

 

Looks great. You did a great job. Enjoy

 

I ordered up a set of Winters 6 spline helical gears from Summit.

Also ordered the shim kit.

I spent a little time on the phone talking to Mike the tech guy at Winters this morning.

He told me what I needed to set up the helical gears and said that they would work really well with my application and that shimmed properly I wouldn’t have any problems.

The few times I’ve called Winters they’ve been really good and helpful.


For illustration only not the ratios I ordered

 

Oh your going to miss the whine! I really dig hearing mine whine when ya let off.

 

Wow!!
So glad to see you out and enjoying all of your hard work! What an outstanding ride.

I wish you many long mile and just as many smiles.
Bobby

 

What a piece of crap! 50 miles on it and already rebuilding the rear end. We've been had boys this thing will never be done.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!

 

You guys Since when is swapping gears in the quick change considered rebuilding the rear end ?

It’s cloudy and cool here this morning but I’m taking it out for a ride to meet up with some of the guys I worked with.

 

Funny how you find any reason to drive it, huh?

The truck looks great, that color came out really nice with the black base coat under it. Which reminds me, with all these pics of the car I need to up date my Washington Blue thread!

 

When one wants to jerk your chain a bit! There's always a way to make a joke, I think.

 

Sometimes the jealously just boils over, but we're happy for you,..... mostly.

 

You bet... totally jealous.

 

The dark blue is nice.
Looks almost black in the shadows.

 

Be careful, Larry, you may get sick of it..... you know, to much of a good thing. JW

 

Fuck yeah man let’s get some drive by video!

 

I’ll work on that request.
I already have that in mind.

 

I highly doubt that

 

Had to take a package to the post office.

Good reason to use the hot rod

 

Did someone say video?

 

Lets hear it for Roadster Pick Up's. JW

 

Hard to carry that package on a moped. Good thing you had a pickup handy. This is like when my pit bull gets a new squeaky toy! I love it!

 

Cool and i see (hear) what you mean about the noisy QC. JW

 

That exhaust has got a fantastic sound to it! Good tone, a little thump/ gargle to it. Bet it just screams when you wind it up! Congrats again

 

Thanks
Healthy Tim Mcmaster Y Block with Porter mufflers.
That’s the recipe
I love the way it sounds.

 

You better stock up on Sunblock for all your trips lately.

Sounds great going by but the sound after you pass the camera is music to the ears.
