I am looking to build my 27 tall t like an early to late sixties altered but for the street. Can any one help with pictures or suggestions?
There are a couple of great threads with 26-27 coupes, use the search option, lots of pics. If you are building an Altered, how about a tube chassis? If it is a street rod, most use a suicide perch T-bucket type. For a more traditional car a Model A works well. I think your big decisions will be wheelbase and ride height. It would be great if you could post pics of the build, there are a number of HAMBER's with 26-27 T coupes.
The problem is many people don't use enough info to use the search. T, 26 or 27 is too short. It's gotta be 4 characters. Coupe will be too broad. Suggestion would be to ask for everyone to use 1926 or add hyphens like t-bucket, t-coupe, 3-window etc. at least in titles. It's not as conversational, but it would sure help find that year-old post.
Hit some swapp meets,rummage sales and Ebay. Buy up a bunch of old magazines. Great reference material, its what we did before Al Gore invented the Interweb thing, which by the way I contest is a passing fad.
So far I have a 27 tall t,28 model a frame/suspension,59 pontiac rear,59 283 chevy with 57 fuelie power pack heads,and a 60 2-speed powerglide. I was thinking 15x7 slots/piecrust slicks for the rear. And 15x4 spindle mount look alikes or the stock 19 inch wires. I really wish I had a blower,but I guess I could settle for a tunnel ram for now.I really like the look of the fiat topolino altereds so I think thats the direction Im heading in.
Love it!!!!! Who owns this amazing machine? Are there any more pics of this thing on the net? Makes me kind of sad that someone beat me to it. Oh well. SE LA VI. Thats life! Keep em comin.
