Just like hot babes, sacks of money, cases of cold beer and dragstrips....there's no such thing as TOO MANY Tall-T rods!!! Lookin' good....keep at it!!!
Man.Thats a good lookin Ol T body ,Tony.........wish I had a fake chevy foam motor........I LIKE......
AHOTROD, Its not cold in there at all, I`ve got a propane salimander that will run you out!! Kenny, I found that coupe in a coupe....chicken that is! Didnt have doors decklid or anything for that matter! I`ve been lucky finding everything so far. As far as the foam smallblock...wish I had one too! That one belongs to a buddy but its kind of a community block...he has a foam turbo 350 also. rear view
Neat project! I like it channeled the way you have it and tall. I also like them chopped whatever it takes to make that 1/4 window square, as tall as it is wide. I think that makes it look "right" like it belongs that chopped height.
Awesome... for a long time I didn't like the tall tops like that, but I think it would be cool driving around what looked like a life sized Hot Wheels.
T-Coupe, dont worry, it`s getting the axe! Barnett- I like both ways too but this one gets cut. T-Man- I`ve cut a couple tops and I`m here to tell ya, this T will be one hell of a lot easier to cut than that hog was! I hope it turns out just as tasty!! Dr.J- the body is sitting on the frame rails I built, the cars not channeled, the frame is Z`ed 3" in the front. I did that so as to have head room when I make that quarter windows square. Kojack, I like em tall too but I`m affraid the car will look too much like Murcury Charlies. Thats not a bad thing, I love his car but I dont want to look just like anyone else. Burndup- I`m thinking I may call the car Top Hat(TM), thats what it looks like to me, thats the reason for the little guy in my steering wheel. As far as left over special....thats what it is, a bunch of junk I`ve aquired over the past few years that no one else wanted to tackle!
If TrailerEd was any kind of a Buddy, he would donate parts out of his immense stash to help you along...
Sean-I dont think I`ve got anything from ol "Crusty" but I`m sure he has prolly owned some of my parts at one time or another!
This may sound dumb, but is that a Ford or a Dodge? I had a '24 Dodge and remember particularly narrow tin between the top o' the window to the roofline. Or did Ford make 'em like that as well? The winshield frame, too, looks awfully familiar. But I've never owned a T, so it's hard for me to compare.
LakesModified- this car was the green color when I got it. The car came with a white (although beat to hell) stock frame with the remainder of a suiside front perch on it. The body had metal cut and rivited into the door openings about halfway up. I`d say it was somebody`s rod or drag car at one time....alooong time ago! For the time being it shall stay the colors that it is, all of my extra coin is going toward getting the bitch road ready...It MAY get a coat of black Krylon! Humboltcat- Thats a 26-T although on the outside 26 and 27`s look alike. The one in the back of my shop truck...in the pic..is a 27.
