Projects "No Quarter"- '27 T coupe project

Sinister - this is a cool build man. I have a question though. I'm doing something similar and I liked the way you cut the sub frame of the body to channel it 2.5 inches - the only thing I wondering about is this: I'm a big guy and I'm thinking of doing the same thing, but I want to tuck the new frame into the channel that you cut away so it's as close to the outside of the body as posible so I can put a drop down floor in my car so I can get my size 14 shoes in there. I'm planning a 90 degree hanging brake pedal too to give me a little more foot room - do you see any problem getting the frame outboard from where yours is by a couple of inches? I know this means I'll need to recess the frame up into the angled part of the floor support at the front but I think that's do-able. I'm also thinking about z-ing the front section of the frame in this same area of the floor instead of pie cutting it and I'm wondering how low you can get the rear of the car with the amount you z'd it. Your T is going to be wild - just hoping you might be able to give me a little advice. .

 

Ohh, How I miss Washington!

 

Ragtop....my frame tucks right up into the inner edge of the subrails...not much room left to have a wider floor, due to the door jam.... You could modify the lower inners of the doors or just drop down your seating and/or have a drop down "well" for you feet and pedal...

BTW....I'm 6'3 with size 15's.....the biggest issue will probably be my throttle foot on the trans hump....but needed the hump to clear shift linkage...

 

your doing great work love the dash have to start on mine so0n

 

Wsy kool!!

 

Neat! I just finished cutting out most of the inner part of that "subrail"so I can keep my frame all the way out as well.

 

Nice work, I dig it!

WTF​

 

Dude, no way!

 

What the hell! We discussed this just recently, you said you werent selling? Whats going on? Broke, or found a steel '32 roadster for $7500? Say it isnt so!

 

Just putting it out there really.....
The REALITY is it will take a LOOOONNNNNGGGGG time to finish this car how I'd like ($$$$) and my other car also need$$$ alot.....I'm tired of looking at undrivabloe projects INFESTING my garage.....so if I'm to ever have a cool ride soon, this is the 1st to leave......unless the lottery ever pulls my #....haha....
It sucks....'cause this thing is only a few thou away from being a driver....

And a $750 '32 roadster wouldn't interest me....

Besides......this thing probably ain't going anywhere.....so just calm down.....

 

me either. I want a 5 window...

 

NOOOOOOOO!

Come on man! I have to see this finished!
This is one of the coolest builds ever.
You have over 40, 000 views on this thread! You can't call it quits now!

 

Very tempting. I wonder how much of a nightmare titling this car in California would be.

 

Cool Build! I like the sweep on the frame.

 

Although I can appreciate your decisions I will miss the build thread.

You should know that you helped me with my 27 project simply by sharing your photos and experiences with us,....thanks. And I hope you find a buyer,.....after all; the possession of new money is awesome!!

 

I hope you change your mind, it will be a super cool car when done.

 

Not sure how I am following this thread and also saw the car for sale on Craigslist and didn't put two and two together. Awesome car, I hope you finish it or get another HAMBer to get it done!

 

I hope that you either, get every penny you are looking for out of this ride, or find a way to finish it up!

Either way, I'm pulling for you!!!

It's looking great so far, and keep us posted either way!

 

Just read through this thread and I feel some what let down, lol, but hey you gotta do what ya gotta do! Finished or not, you did some nice work, I hope everything works out for ya!

Murch.

 

Ok...Ok.....
While one Hamber fucked me on some parts, another hooked me up on some....so the T is back "on".....
Should have the frame "done" this week then it'll be time to lather it in shiny metalflake silver with blue fogging......provided the shitty ass weather cooperates.....

 

Sorry to hear that a few things didn't work out so well for you.

I did, however, want you to know that your build thread has helped not only me, but I'm sure a lot of other guys out.

I'm looking forward to seeing future posts. Best of luck to you, buddy, you're doing an awesome job.

 

Well that's good news, looking forward to seeing more mate.

 

Man you have one cool T. I realy like the 57 chevy dash looks killer. Wish you all the luck on it . One day i hope to have a t coupe. I think yours will be in a mag of your choice when you get it done. Keep the pics comeing for all of us to drooooooollllllll over.

 

Glad to hear the build is back on, it's gonna kick ass!

Murch.

Looking good man. I will have to swing by one of these weekends and check it out. Give me a shout if you ever need a hand.
