Projects Winter Project ·*The T coupe Build · Start to Present

Looking good very nice work. I like the look of the no chop which is odd for me normally I'm a cut it up type of guy. Man that trans tunnel must have taken forever to weld up LOL. Keep us updated.

 

Looking Great man!

 

Cool build. I like ALL of your choices so far. I also vote for no chop or little chop.

 

Looking great!
Put me in the No Chop crowd also.

Don't chop it!
Keep posting with updates.

 

Looking good,Chad!!!

Now get out there in the garage, and chop the hell out of it!!!

Nice looking ride. I dig the Hudson steering wheel too!

 

Good ride on 1917-36 early Fords with transverse springs:
1. good shocks front and rear
2. reduced leaf count in leaf springs (keep main and 2, remove odd numbers, experiment to see what's best, might take a few tries to hit paydirt)
3. good comfortable seats, best using seat springs like original Fords, custom seat cushions and back rests using coil springs as original can be bought from Snyder's in OH or Car-Line Mfg. in Beaumont TX.
4. comfortable seating position and control positions, don't think you have to be cramped and hunched over to be cool.

 

Wow! Great job on the deck lid.

 

I dig the hell outta that! Can't wait to see more progress on this!

 

got to ask, from what I can see you have an open drive banjo, and located by two rear radius rods. Just a heads up, when I converted to the same setup on my roadster I ended up in troubles as the torque made the diff want to point skywards. in the end I added two short bars that bolt onto the top off the diff and come forward to a bolt in cross member, basically making a triangulated 4 bar type setup. Haven't had an issue since. I am just running a flathead , so my motor torque wont be anything like yours will.

love the look all the same.

 

Yep, I've already contemplated that... I'll be running a rod from the pumpkin to the crossmember where the bones attach. Thanks!

 

Hows it coming along?

 

Dash turned out good, mine is tacked together. It is a little different than yours.

 

We need more pics

 

I really like everything your doing. What year is that front axle and bones?

 

Thanks fellas!!!!

1946, along with the rearend also.

 

very nice-i really dig the dash

 

ive got a nice t coupe body all bare mataled that ive had for 4 years nowbeen waitin until just the right time to build it...been building other things but lately been thinking about my ''t''...after seeing yours coming together im ready to go start mine right away...this was all i needed to get motivated to put another t coupe out there...thanks...by the way great looking car cant wait to see it finished and the fab work looks great...

 

Looks like a real nice build and I dig the taillights. What are out of?

 

Is that a mustang radiator? Stock or sectioned? Looks good how you sunk it behind the crossmember to look short like the Kookie car.

 

Hey I really like your dash, nice work.
I also like where your gas tank sets, did you build that too? How many gallons?

 

Thanks, Those are 65 ford Galaxie reverse chrome, with 39 chevy lens... Look up my thread on the T coupe update, there's one where I showed how I did the lights.

Yes that's a mustang, it's just stock. I dropped it down between the rails so it would help the grill line up with the top of the cowl.

Yep built that too, I think its 11 gallons or so. I did a thread on the gas tank.

 

Any updates?
