I'm sitting here looking through HOP UP #5 again. I really like the T's. The cut down one on page 142, the narrowed one with the heart shaped grille on page 121. I remember when I was a kid, my dream car was a T coupe. I even had a 26 coupe body when I was 14. Never had a chance to make a car out of it though. Parents split up, and it was gone. When I first looked through #5, and turned to page 25 and saw that orange A, it just jumped out at me. I own an orange 26 T roadster, and another orange car, so they must be my favorites. As much as I like 32 fords, and everything in between, I'm drawn to the T's. I wonder what event caused that? Here's a picture of my roadster. Dean
Model T's and '57 Chevrolets are how I got interested in old cars. Traditional rods were the natural result of combining the two.
Anyone have pics of the Ts?....I havent seen the Hop Up issue nor can I get it around here, so Im curious.
