Looks like a little of this a little of that and your on the road. Should be fun ride when completed. Oh yea you better move it out of the handicap zone. You could get a tow you don't want.

kool ride! if i was guessing i'd say those wheels were old ford wide five (like39ish) w/caps but hey thats just a guess--anyway looks like it would be a "hoot" to ride in

Cool ride...


Need more pics...

I like it alo!! I love the wheels too. About the only thing I would change is the grill height, I'd try and get it even with the top of the cowl, but that's just me.
What intake is that? I like it, how does it run out?

What wheels are that? They look awsome! Some info on them please...

I like it too. I agree that the radiator shell needs a little trim. Trouble is, to get the one on my '27 roadster proportional I had to take 8 1/2 inches out. It made for a radiator that was on the edge of not being able to keep the 302 Ford cool. Walker wouldn't even build me a radiator so I had to go to a custom made one from the BrassWorks. It was ok, but I still sweated sitting at traffic lights for extended periods.

Nice little project you've got going on there though.

Sorry for the late reply, I forgot my password and had to get a new user name.
the trans, wheels, brakes, and rear axle are all 39 Ford. I know the grille sucks, I am looking for a 32 car shell to shorten to match the cowl height.

 

[donsrods]

No, your shell doesn't suck, it just needs a few inches taken out of the middle. I actually like it better in some ways than the overdone 32 shell. I also like the true old timey way you are building your T, that flat motor looks right out of the little pages.

I've considered a 28-29 shell too, your right everything has a 32 shell. It's a real challenge keeping it "old timey", I'm trying to keep all the parts 46 and older(except the obvious parts that have to be new).

Very nice! Is that a '32 truck shell? That very combination has been rattling around in my head for a few years now, I have most of the bits gathered up. One difference will be '35 wires, though. I have '48 brakes....and my '32 rad and shell disappeared, somebody sold it for the copper! Damn recyclers!!!

 

[Willowbilly3]

You might look for a shell that has already been whittled on, much cheaper usually and you won't be hacking up a good ols original part. I also agree the duece shell is over used, I like the commercial shell. A 33-34 commercial with a little off the bottom maybe. Now being a Ford guy this is a little bit of a surprise but I am really likeing some of the Chevy grills. I am running one, I thing 34 or 35 with 4 inches sectioned out. Prices on these has gone crazy since I got mine tho.

I agree with custom cabby, it looks great like it is.

Don't change a thing. That is one sweet ride. Bet you can't wait to get that dude runnin!
