Little done: friction shocks and cowl steering

Haven't posted anything in a while so I thought I'd post a couple shots I took of the tiny progress I've made on my T lately.

Shocks mounted and my pitman arm finished up.





I'm not sure about the shocks but they're done so they'll probobly stay.

 

that looks real nice

 

Looks beautiful.

 

I dig the recess in the cowl side, very clean.

 

That looks great!
Any chance we could see some under dash shots?

What keeps the shock from saggin? or dropping down?

 

Excellent work on that cowl recess. Very clean work.

 

chaddilac, the shock cant drop down, its mounted to the frame and to the wishbone, there's no way for it to drop.

nimrod, great looking work!

 

Oh
Hell
Yessssss!!!!!

 

Totally Slick. Dig it!

 

Oh, Yes that is slick. Traditional and yet so many original ideas.

That recess for the pitman arm really sets it off.

 

is that a discrete engine bay belly pan I see?.......cool.....

any front shots, how you mounted the headlights?

Man, you've got some really cool details happenin' on this car. Nice work!

 

The cowl recess rules.

 

nice work!!!

later jim

 

really nice work!
Love the shocks and the cowl steering recess.

 

that car is amazing, dude you should be very proud of your work! -J

 

i just revisited the pictures....

those things are OUT of FREAKING CONTROL!

wow..

nice.

 

That is a great job! The work for the strg. arm is awesome! Post some more of the pics!

 

That cowl recess is on the wrong side

 

AHHHHH, I see. Wow that's cool looking!

 

It's kind of a partial belly pan/skirt in front, I used the lower section of the model A shell as the front of it. I'll see if I can find some pictures of it when I get home today.

And the headlights mount on stalks made from a model A bar mounted off the sides of the rails, doubling as shock mounts now.

Damn, that is slicker n' snot. That recess in the cowl is just beautiful, but I got to ask: Was that an idea born of necessity? Was the shaft too short once you located your steering wheel, and thus forcing you to do that, or was it a pre-planned thing, or is this just the way the geometry worked out with your frame and front end? Either way, it is amazing to behold, and even cooler if this is one of those wonderful happenings when form follows function. Damn.

 

Couldn't bend the Pitman Arm ?

 

There's nothing like engineering in the wide open. Nice work!

 

Very cool and fresh approach to the current cowl steering rage... nice work

 

sweet combination.....love the detail of that pan, with a great overall visual balance.

Cheers,
