Projects Finally I get my Flathead powered T Roadster

Sorry, no real updates. It's racing season now and I blew the engine in my truck at Elmo last meet. Working hard to get a better one together before Speed Week. Derrek has been taking my chassis around to all the shows as a demonstrator so at least it's getting some use. I'll be back on it soon but probably not till late Aug.

 

Paid a visit to @deek at Boling Brothers Early Iron yesterday. Chassis on the T roadster is complete, now it's time for the body. Just waiting on a deck lid, ordered and paid for just hasn't arrived. Mike Moore's Quickchange looks great in there

 

Chassis looks great!

 

^^ wow, sure does ! ^^

 

Man, almost too pretty to paint! You almost want to just clearcoat it and run it!

 

lookin good Timmer

 

Looking fantastic!!! I'm inspired to get mine on it's wheels now!

 

I haven't posted in a while as I have been busy with other things but work does continue. I will have more pix of the car coming later but for now I just wanted to show of the latest trophy that will sit on top of the power plant.

 

Hey Tim . . . I think you've clearly defined how us flathead guys look at our engines.

Flatheads: They are rolling, running 'Trophy Cases' for all the cool, rare and fun parts we can put into them! Hope all is well with you my friend.

Looks great. That a New Thickstun? Damn things are expensive. Love the one on my coupe. Glad I talked mommy into it.

 

That looks like a first-gen Thickstun. Before the common PM-7. Fairly rare.

 

Nice hardware there.

 

Speechless...utterly speechless.

 

Good to hear from you Tim.
Will be watching for updates.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yes, Pre-war I was told. Maybe @Bored&Stroked can confirm this. I was very happy to find it, been looking for a while. It is in near perfect condition.

 

More goodies I found. These two will sit side by side in the center of my panel with three engine gauges on each side. Nice and full.

 

Those are really nice ..

 

Yes they are.

Speedo and tach about where the belong.

 

Rolled the roadster out in the daylight for the first time in a long time. Starting to look like a real car.

 

Outstanding Tim, looking good.

Nice to see the progress! Looking real fine.

 

Boy howdy that is getting to be one nice roadster. Somehow I missed this thread and sat here this morning and read all nine pages.

 

Tried on the Thickstun this last weekend, looks like a good fit. A little high but not too much. Should look good with a couple of round Edmunds air cleaners.

 

Looking Killer

 

Got a little help from my niece Kyra over the weekend, she likes Hot Rods.

 

Wow And we like Kyra.
