Hot Rods The simple joy of a T roadster.

Like what bike rider's say You'll never see a roadster parked in front of a psychiatrist's office.

I have a lot of good memories from my T bucket of long ago, especially my first "long trip" were I made it to Merced, Ca for the Western Nationals.

 

For years I was a closed car guy only till my buddy asked me to ride to Springfield,Missouri in his T bucket. I actualy could not sleep all night dreading that ride.I couldnt say no because I couldnt hurt his feelings.I imagined beeing stormed on and my back going out on me waiting on my wife to come and pick me up four and a half hours away from home. Seriously I sweated this trip all night. We went to and from and when we were getting home late at night I was wishing it was not over and could have kept going all night. I will never be the same!

 

I agree with all of the above ^^^^^^ ever since finishing mine there isn't a day go by I don't think up an excuse to get it out of the shed and drive it. 10 minutes around the block or 40 min around the neighbourhood I still get home with a smile on my face. When that doesn't happen I'll sell it. (can't see it happening any time soon)

 

From his other thread Very nice and a fun trip to boot.

 

Thanks Fred!

I knew folks here would understand, everyone else you talk to just shake their heads. Well the motorcycle guys seem to smile and nod as they understand it as well.

 

Build threads ? Where ? I see blocks of pictures but..actual build threads ?

 

I'm building my first and can't wait to add to the stories on this thread.

 

I actually do not have a build thread on the HAMB, as it was deemed not traditional or something. I do have full on build threads on a couple other forums if you wish to see them. A very long one on the Canadian rodders forum and on tbucketeers. I can send you links if you like.

I do have a couple threads in the upholstery group on how I did my interior the first time.

 

I am building a T now.... well its been sitting in the garage in a pile of parts. This thread made me go out and work on it.... or at least uncover it and imagine driving down the road on a Father's day not to far away. Thanks for the inspiration.

 

Thanks Larry. I looked a the pictures and never saw the car complete. I also have ADD so it's just easier to ask for a picture than to dig. You dig? Nice car!

 

Thought I'd just throw this pic up. My new hairblower!

 

Very cool. That was the direction I was originally headed, then mid build the whole theme changed and I ended up going with a more 60's muscle car theme.

 

Koz...that rear kich and spring is BAD-ASS. love the stance.
