Projects Garage find roadster 27 T

Channeled over the A frame with the 425 Nailhead. 8x2 intake, mucho chrome, dropped and drilled I beam and bones, early wire wheels (see; Jake's 34 Coupe), compe***ion orange paint. Think; Ed Iskenderian Hot Rod....

 

Try this on for size, the ******* child of Ed Iskenderian's rod, and the farthersday rod Pete chappal (sp?). Keep the body as found and run the living delights out of it.

That's a nice color, keeping the color will give it a wonderful survivor look that can't be beat. And please don't add faux patina!!
Run a good model A frame (boxed) with the axles you got. No need to channel it, just as a belly pan and you are golden!



I like that mr. Iskenderian's Roadster looks so stock, body wise, like it was a stock
Body with original Henry cellulose black, and that stock looking seat, and simple dash.

 

Nice green T !!! Pete Chapouris, is who I think is driving. Pete and Jake's ... one of the originals. Then on to PC3G with the Doane Spencer '32 restoration/Pierson Bros. coupe and then some ... and now of So-Cal Speedshop/Alex Xydias address. He builds hot rods/land speed racers and then some ... more. Life doesn't exist without something cool in hand, for him.

 

I Think so to, but I don't know the guy. But the article in HRM says he build the car for his dad, and left it under lock and keys after his farthers p***ing.
He only took it out because someone dared him. And he enjoyed having it out, according to the article.

I like every part of the look, even the Pete & jake 4 bar setup! [emoji57]
But it looks so sleek, but I think it runs a V6 [emoji33] and you can do a lot of things to hide disc brakes, like running drilled backing plates with a small scoope on the back [emoji6]
Not the biggest fan of V6, a straight six on the other hand. [emoji41]
It's a nice article on it, at the HRM website.

What is PC3G?

 

Glad to see you are gonna drive it as is for awhile. I love an original T of any kind. But honestly I restored a 26 touring and it only took a few cl***ic car cruises to hate it stock.
Rather than change it I traded for a 48 Chevy panel truck and some other junk. Last I heard my T was in a museum.
That's the only safe place for one here in Florida!
I'd go with some of the others, do a mild hot rod transformation....... or put it back in the garage another 20 years!

 

I also have this T that my Dad gave me a few years ago,

 

Please add me to the "To nice to cut up" side. How about getting it running and driving it like it is for the rest of 2015 before you get the torch out? Another idea: repop frame and put Model A running gear under it. The world does not need another SBC powered '27 T!
