Projects "No Quarter"- '27 T coupe project

looking good

 

Still subscribed! Gary

 

Not sure what spring yet.....may use an F-1 front spring, since I have one available to me if I wanna try it...
A '40 front would work as well....
I really need a low arch spring between 34' and 42" long....

 

According to my notes, Bad News used a '48 front Ford spring in the rear for the build on the show.

I'm starting a T coupe project myself,...so I watched it real slow and took a lot of notes while pausing the DVR.

 

keep the progress coming! very cool and fun build to watch

 

Thanks for the info guys. Stance and proportions are everything!

 

rad dude.. good progress keep at it!!

 

awesome.

 

Finished up panel replacement on the body....made my own rear panel and 1/4 panel patch.
Mocked up my "plan B" tail lights.....if I use them they will be polished with a late '50's Mopar lens or similar. (Maybe a modified Caddy?)
Plan A was to make a "fish mouth" panel.....with a light bar recessed....but need to find pics of others to see if it would look good on a T....

 

Dude, your progress is making me feel like a lazy, fat, steamin' pile of **** for slacking on my project for so long. Time to get off my *** and do some work!

The car's coming along, man. Keep at it!!

 

Exactly......it should be COOLED OFF enough in Austin....so get yer *** back on yer A and quit ****ing around with damn RC trucks!!!! Hahahahahaaha......
(it's ok....I'm in the middle of a Hilux extracab paintjob)

 

LOL! I gots too damn many hobbies! But I'll have an update on the A real soon now that we're done with 90+ days of 100 degree temps this summer!

 

Very cool build. Any new updates? That frame set up does not look like the car should sit that low. You nailed it!!!!

 

No "significant" updates.....frame is in primer and bodywork is close to being done...
Have some parts on the way....and some prepped for chrome.....

 

Mocked up steering column today....end of column is recessed in firewall. (Cause I got one a hair too short...doh!)




And these are the seats....will be pearl white...

 

awesome!

 

Looking great mate, I love that dash, very cool, Seats are wicked to and will look brilliant in pearl white.
What colour are you having on the frame & body ???

 

Very cool build .....got one myself .....cant wait to see more.....mines 6" chopped rear and 6.5" thru the front....i like it,,,,,

 

Intake is Weiand WC4D. It's one of my favorite intakes ever which is I had to put one on my 265 in my '35 too.


This coupe is turning out rad!!! Love the seat choice dude, that's going to be killer.

 

Love the seats (and the rest) - what are they from?

 

Nice work and great ideas,I'll try keeping up

 

Thanks fellas.....

Body will be either pearl white, or silver, or light met. blue....or....?????
Frame will be heavy metalflake silver covered with candy blue....

Mid '70's Dodge motorhome.

Worked on dash/column more today....made a panel/cover that blends into the gauge cluster and hides and column mount....




Been splitting time on the T with this O/T car for my pal Roger...working on it will help pay to have parts for the T chromed....

 

I'm liking it even more now !!!

 

Great thread! I'm just getting started on a similar project so your ideas on chopping the top are going to be very helpful to me. Thanx for posting

 

DIGGIN' THIS T-COUPE SEVERELY! Wanting to go this direction of early 60's Drag/Show Rod style for my Chevy coupe! Thanks for the inspiration and subscribed to anxiously await her outcome!!! Great Job Josh!
