This roadster looks like a little later version of my buddy’s T-bucket from Westchester, Ca. He got rear ended in his fast ‘49 Olds coupe and transferred everything to a somewhat gangly looking orange/red T. At first he tried running the fenderwell headers from the Olds but I bought them for my ‘47 Ford and he had another set built. I wonder….

 

. Obviously, I’m a little behind on this thread but the pictures are just too good not to comment.
This shot reminds me of how I felt at 15 years old, sitting in my gray primered ’40 Ford coupe after installing the Edelbrock heads and Thickstun 2x2 intake from Shell’s and imagining how fast it was gonna be. No driver’s license yet!

 

And this is what so many of our local hot rods looked like in ‘62-‘66, not ratty, but not finished either. Just daily transportation and a work-in-progress. Then along came the factory hot rods and they started fading out.
