Now, I am finishing up the bodywork "rough-in", and will be painting soon...

 

[bell]

I cut apart my steering column and changed the angle a bit, for some more knee room and a bigger wheel...

And spent a few hours at the drill press, with the shifter handle...

what seat is that?

I assume you mean the one on the bench??? It is from a 1974 Peterbuilt... way too wide for this one, and I couldn't find a match. The seats that are in it are universal equipment seats... my brother bought them at a local tool sale....

That is where I am currently at... I just ordered my paint and floor coating, so I should be painting in a couple weeks... I still have some metal work to do, so I will update as I go. Thanks for the comps!

Great thread! Man am I glad I came along this thread. I'm building up a 27 T coupe. I bought a replacement cowl that I thought was off an earlier T. It looks identical to the one you have though. Guess it's a Dodge.

No wonder I'm having such a hard time getting the doors to fit. Oh well, I'd venture to say there won't be many like it when I'm done.

Liking your build!

First time I got to check it out. Build looks great. Love the old Wheelhorse Tractor in the one picture.

So your axle setup may be the exact ticket for my build, I am planning a cummins and I was worried about running a parallel leaf axle suicide to handle the weight but this looks like it might work for me, awesome work!

Seats are done, including sliders! I had to narrow the passengers seat by 2"... what a pita... lol

I just finished my air tank mounts...

 

[bell]

I am going to mount them like this...

I was going to strip them, and brush them (tanks are stainless).... but the color is growing on me. Might be a nice accent to the burgundy and black... ?
