    Way cool but would be even cooler with a flathead?

    No for me,but as long as who ever did it likes what he did,gives him a small :cool:
    Grill shell on 20s to 30s hotrods,if not same as body,are very hard to make look right from art point of view. A few custom shells work,most are bad in my eye !

    I am okay with it but not on my hot rod

    It's not hard to see the link or connection though. Those tractors had a straight axle with split wishbones, bigs & littles and other stuff of resemblance. The grille and hood remind me of '42 Ford Jailbar trucks

    At least there is no barbed wire o_O

    Lots of people on here are always talking about doing something different. Well, that looks different. I'm sure the person who did it must like it.

    But I can cast my vote to disapprove of the T . Now the tractor is cool , though I am a biased farmer. ! Plus a stupid motor flathead nutter. 4 flathead rods , oh no 3 the B4 has a cragar head.

    I've used Fordson tractor parts before on a HAMB inspired OT project, sometimes you gotta make what you cant afford with what you can!!

    My apprentice budget didn't stretch to imported original or repro parts so I thought laterally!!

    always thought the 35 Ferguson may be doable, with modification, but nothing else I have seen is an improvement on a car grille or bonnet ( hood).
    Looking forward to seeing someone prove me wrong ………:)

    I used a Nuffield tractor grille as the basis for my early sprint car project, after I shortened it, narrowed it and made a new lower section ...

    Jeep Universal attachments.jpg Like the original T and the Jeep "Universal" - can this car plow or disc the field before going to town??

    Plow on Saturday, drag race on Sunday??

    Little known speed secret.
    Ford tractor radiator cap adapted to my old pile-o-parts 32 Tudor.
    Art Deco styling upped top end by .03 mph. :D:rolleyes:

    I Like it. I also enjoy the All Ford aspect. For me I would make a few small changes. I'd remove about a foot of Windshield, throw the cycle fenders away, and put Wide Fives on it with '37 Caps. But the guy didn't build it for me or ask my opine.

    Bravo to whomever.
     
  26. This allis chalmers grille would work on some sort of stripped down single, center seated lakester bucket, but more work than it’s worth. 305600D3-7E1B-4DA8-9F35-9A3E030D2234.jpeg
