Hot Rods Rusty has a new project- father son build , 26 T roadster!

Very tidy

 

I had to order stromberg Banjo fitting to get fuel lines routed around the radiator pipes. Bent up a few fuel lines to run to the old Weiand aluminum fuel block that I will mount on the firewall.

 

Hmmm, wonder where I saw that idea?
Still tight, thought of running them up on top of each other? Stacked?

 

Yeah take the credit t man!

 

I saw those awhile ago but was asking if anyone had any other ideas before shelling out $115 for banjos.

 

Hey man, always easier to spend YOUR money rather than mine! Whole car is looking good.

 

Been plugging away with small stuff. Got the trunk floor welded in and the crossmember hump bolted down. Welded nut plates up in the sub rails so I can mount the trunk quarter down Turned a few aluminum bungs to hold the headlight conduits on the frame. And had my good friend Randy come up to the shop to help pinstripe the wheels. I had made a jig to hold my bugeler pinstripe tool but I couldn’t hold the tool and turn the wheel at the same time. They aren’t perfect but it looks damn fine.

 

Looking good ….. those bungs are great ‼️

 

So early on when I ordered my tierod from speedway I either misread there measurements or they sent me the wrong one, I’m guessing I misread.
Today I cut it in half made a bung and lengthened it an 1-1/4”.

 

It's really good to see you back working on your project.
The details mean so much on great build, keep up the good work!

 

I haven’t really stopped working on it. Just a lot of small things that take time but don’t really seem like ya got anything done.

 

Where do you get a piece of aluminum this big?

 

This quote is the story of my life!

I like the pinstriping on the wheels too.

 

I’ve had this piece laying around for years but our local steel supplier has cut offs that a guy can buy small chunks.

 

We have tires!!!!

 

That invisible wheel is really cool.

 

I like the lengthening job on the tie rod. Glad you did it near one end and not in the middle.

 

I cut it right in the middle. The bung was a hammer it in fit so it will be plenty strong.

 

It’s a new style here in South Dakota.

 

I buy my aluminum drop offs from a guy on Ebay (6061 dude), he has a wide variety. Offers free shipping and ships fast! 60 Special

 

Loaded up to go get mounted tomorrow

 

The roadster hasn’t seen the light of day for quite sometime.

 

Wow, officially a roller!
Maybe I missed it, did you ever resolve your fuel pump-throttle linkage issue?

 

I think I did, time will tell.
I have a little knee surgery tomorrow so the T might be idle for awhile.

 

I had forgot to post but my dad and I had bought a ruff 26 roadster on a model A frame. I was able to salvage the panel above the deck lid. Even though it need some holes filled and wiggles straightened it’s 100% better than the Howell sheetmetal panel that I wasted my money on.

 

Like I told your dad, looks like you need to use that rear panel with the custom tail lights as well.
Pretty classy looking

 

Yeah I was really contemplating that!

 

Is that Chevy COE next?

 

Well it’s in progress 58 gmc.

 

if you can cut wood.... you can build hot rods.....
