Thanks man! It's actually a stick car...running a TKO 600. Just rev it to the moon and dump the clutch and hope I don't wake up to harp music!
Now wait a tick! LOL! Is that an older car Blackout or did you go and paint the gold one?! Either way that's a killer looking ride!
Flat black seems to be the colour for killerlooking T coupes. And John your 11.5 is good but I read somewere about your 60 foot that was realy good. Well here are a black and white pic of mine coupe
Thanks fellas. I ran an 11.50 flat at 1100 ft elevation so that's gotta be an 11.40 of some kind back in the sticks where I live! Best 60ft to date is 1.51 but 1.57 is the norm. Going to try and do much better next year. Blackout I REALLY like the black! I didn't think you could beat the gold , but you proved me wrong. Not all rods look right black (say it ain't so). Stellar move you made. Ballsy too! Had to add that I think rear and rear 1/4 views make the best pics of T's. Love both of those cars!
Finally got the windows in, and the regulators to work. It's a lot warmer with all the windows in it, before, I just had the windshield, and it was kinda chilly at freeway speeds...
Thats about 1/2 mile from our house, Thomas... We are about 500 feet from the Ocean, but after that 500 feet, there's about a 90 foot cliff... that suits me just fine, I live in the only town in the lower 48 states, to be wiped out by a Tsunami... so that 90 feet is quite all right with me....
First an avacado farm, now that place. pitiful Put me a new cam in my T, finish it up this weekend. Just a lil rumpity rump. WIll need some gears after this. I have the stock 2:50's in it now. Sucker will sail down the highway at 80 with ease.
I always liked the T coupes,had a 27 roadster years ago ,wish I never sold that one.Built a dozen other cars since.I daily drive my custom Elcamino and for the weekends drive my 34 Desoto Airflow custom.A friend of mine passed away and gave me his 27 T coupe body that I have been building into a low buck hot rod driver,no billet parts or shinny paint on this one. Hope to have it done by spring. Great pictures guys.
Man I tell you what........My T is TOUGH! Got cut off this morn on a slick hiway entance ramn, tapped the brake and went to spinning. I spunt it aorund 2 whole turns clipping the curb with each spin. I clipped a curb 4 times. Ruined a smoothie, sheared off volts to panhard and bent a coilover bolt. May have b ent an axle. Had to get a wrecker ride home. I feel like I came out ok. Coulda tore the whole undercarriage out.
glad to hear you both came out OK! I gotta ask, is that a 6 or 12 volt panhard?LOL glad to hear your T didn't get ruined. I find it wierd how they either dont notice you or try to run you off the road while gawking.
Great posts on the T's. I thought I'd add mine to the mix. They are both 1926s. The touring is powered by a 401 nailhead and the "modified" is flathead powered. Both are for sale by the way, I need some cash to finish my Deuce roadster. CYA on the road. Dale
