New project

Well, I am so wet behind the ears I don't even know what I have here (see:http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=147194) but my wife tells me it is a 1927 T coupe. Since she is the daughter of a life long hot rod guy I'm gonna go with that until someone tells me different. To a complete rookie, the body looks pretty good but others may set me straight. Any advice/help anyone wants to offer would really be cool...

I believe your wife is correct.

 

I agree our wifes right. lots of ways to fix it up, fix it to what you like and drive the hell out of it.

 

Tell you what I'll do out of the goodness of my heart - I won't even charge you one cent to come and haul it out of there for you! How can I do it so cheap? Volume, lots of volume. Then you can get something a little newer - like maybe mid 50's...

 

welcome aboard. now go clean your garage!

 

O.K. let me get this straight, your a complete rookie and you inherited this? as in FREE ?
That sound you hear is me sobbing!

 

Jars on the ceiling is an interesting idea. Especially in Quake-o-fornia.

 

The shop is (was) my father in laws. There is too much stuff in there to do anything. He has every tool known to man, unfortunately he has 3 of everything. The jars are a really scary thing as the shop is fairly low. At 6'3" I almost hit them. I would not want to be there in a quake. I am gonna have to clean for a couple of weekends before I can start anything.

First of all git rid of all the craft shit lay'n around,it's a damn rod project. You don't need wood ,flowers,string and shit in the way , "BE THE MASTER OF YOUR DOMAIN " as George would say.
cool car git busy, make it yer own!!!!

 

Hope you have the doors handy, along with the latches- Just found out that the latches are being re-popped, at $360 a pair!!! And the doors, they're straight-up unobtainium...like right out of the mine, even. Good Luck.
