    This is normally not my style but things larger than I are at work here. I recently inherited a 1927 Model T Coupe when my father in law passed away rather unexpectedly. This was one of his many projects that my mother in law has asked me to finish. While I have a rather eclectic range of skills (son of a carpenter with an Ironworker journeyman card) that includes building a houseboat, I have yet to tackle a hot rod. This will truly be a learning experience. I will try to stay out of the way and not ask too many lame questions, but at this point I don't even know enough to know what I don't know! Be gentle on the rookie and I promise I am a fast learner. All in all this looks to be a cool board. Any and all suggestions welcome.

    Unfortunately, I don't know Nick. I may end up meeting him during this project though. As for the style I am leaning towards no chop but channeling and a SBC. I am looking all over the net for pictures that I like.

    Do a HAMB search on tall t's there was a thread awhile back and there was pictures of no chop with a channel.
