My T.

 

Tim, ever going to go back to the wires?

 

Probably not. Those wires were a little oval. These are nice and round.

 

I really like this one. JW

 

Here's my 1917 bucket

 

Our track style roadster without the hood sides at the NTBA meet several years ago. Now o ver 20,000 miles of fun.

 

That's a killer roadster.

 

Thanks, it's a beater. I built it before I knew what I was doing. Started it in 1993 when I was 17.

 

Bump!

 

Bump?

 

Moby...your T looks great! Really appreciate it if you could post a few more pics of it!

 

These were taken when it was under construction, while the windshield frame and coilovers were still chrome. The last one is a photoshop picture of what my current build will look like.

 

Try again, I don't know why I couldn't make it full image in the previous post.

 

I thought this was a Roadster Post?

 

The OP included T buckets, rpu's and tourings in the title, what's the question?

 

This thing is boss. Bravo! Killer ride.

 

Moby, Somebody posted a pic of a Coupe right after yours, ...they must of deleted it, yours defiantly fits ..

 

Both of them are really cool. Actually...the THREE of them!

 

OK, didn't see the coupe.

Here's my old T that I have owned since 1980.

 

Hey, Tim! Stumbled across this shot on the Hot Rod site...you at last year's TROG:

 

And...

 

In post #762, I mentioned that the last picture in the post was photoshopped. I wasn't trying to fool anybody into thinking the car is finished, I just wanted to show what it will look like when it is.

I am making decent progress on it and hope to drive to the ROG. I can't enter it because the engine is an Iron Duke but I'd still like to drive it to NJ.

 

I'm really impressed with your low seating position. I stuck out of mine (also channeled) a good 8" further!

Unfinished pic (only one I have) of Dallas area 27 I built in 60s. Candy red, 301, VHT painted headers, glide, open-drive banjo, Firestone Indy tires. 1740 lbs. Fun car. Still looking for any pics of this one. Was later owned by a guy in Mesquite who painted it orange.
This chassis was cut out with a hacksaw and file following the motivation of a Car Craft How-To-Build a T series. Thanks to Jerry Fain for excellent welding of chassis parts.

 

Ha ha, I'm impressed too for about the first 2 hours, then it sucks. But then again, I didn't build it for comfort, I built it to boogie.

Because the frame is low and the body is channeled, it has a pretty big trans hump and there's no place for the go pedal except up on the hump, which doesn't help. But damn these little cars sure are fun aren't they? A mild motor, regular gas and yet as a friend said, not many cars pass me if I don't want 'em to!! Yours looks like a fun ride, nice proportions.

 

I dig this car.

 

I'm liking this car. Probably handle better than a go-kart.

 

Since I'm such a picture whore ( love chances to post pictures) here is a nice side view of my 26 RPU as it presently is.
