Been working on this T roadster project for a friend and i figured id post some pics. A little back story, Mike is the guy that owns the car, i met him a couple of years ago at the twin cities roadster swap, he was selling off some pretty neat old hot rod parts, turned out he inherited his brothers collection after he p***ed away, i set up a time to come look at more parts and while i was up there he asked what i do and i told him i build cars at home, he told me he was interested in having me put together a car out of the parts his brother collected, so i went back with a trailor and pick up the T body and went thru all the other parts he had and collected up enough stuff to put a car together with, this is what we have so far. boxed A frame 322 nailhead w/3x2 muncie 4 speed 57 chev rear 26-27 T roadster body chopped 32 truck shell 33-36 dropped axle split 40 bones finned buick drums etc etc im just doing the ch***is work and mounting the body and floors, they are going to finish up the rest.

I wish it were done, it had to be pushed to the side for a bit but now im back on it, im working on mounting the body and floor pans today, i get some pics at the end of the day.
Well, got the rear 10 body mounts done, got the rear subrails over the frame kick up done, got all the rear floor pans all cut out bead rolled and bent, time to work on the ****pit now and the front 4 body mounts and trans tunnel etc etc. gonna start working on it tonight and hope to have it all done tomorrow. jeff
sumore progress, got the under the but floor panel done, and also got the angle toe board piece removed, with a 4 speed in it it wont need much of a tunel so no need to angled toe boards. jeff
Got a little more done, firewall is mostly done and got the front subrail stuff done and front floor pans, i just need to finish up the trans tunned. jeff
