Hey guys I am Rockabilly Tim. I also go by Tim Jones. I am 16 years old, and my daily transportation is a 92 ford explorer, but I want to start work on a traditional T roaster loosley based on Ed Iskenderian's 24' T. So far I have only located some parts, but the work is progressing. I have been into Hot rods and custom cars since i first read about George Barrisand other kustom guys at a young age. I also enjoy the friday night street legal drags at my local strip, Island Dragway. I look forward to getting to know you guys, and I hope to look for guidence when building the T, and maybe some fun and good times. - Tim
Rock....welcome man from another Jersey guy.... man-you have found THE PLACE for the help/guidance yer gonna need.....soak it up.....it's all here..........nice to see a young'un jumpin in....... Jersey Skip
hey tim, welcome to the board, good to see another jersey guy jump in..great car to be inspired by...Island dragway, huh, how are things on that end of the "46"??
What kind of engine are you going to put in that Isky-inspired T? The original had a flathead with an OHV conversion, so I'm guessing it won't be that...
I hope to put a flattie in it but since ardun is selling thier OHV conversion kit for $12,000 OHV is not an option, and besides, his OHV conversion was from maxi.
Thats why I stress that it is inspired by, not a replica of, and although i would prefer steel, I will probably wind up using glass.

Didn't Isky make his own OHV conversion? I was lucky enough to see that car in Oakland one time...it is so nice. Anyway, welcome aboard
