Hey guys,

I've been lurking here for quite awhile, reading tons of cool stories & tech. I really dig the homemade frames that have been built on here, it makes me think I can fab my own! I like the fabrication side of things, love hunting for parts & seeing them come together.

I decided to register today because I finally brought home a project I've been eyeballing for sometime & I could use some help with getting it together. It's a mid-20's Model T Tudor, here's how I found it & another pic after dragging it out of the F'n jungle.

I'm on the hunt for a set of doors & something to use for the top. The loose plan is for a 4" chop & then channel it. I'll probably end up with a SBC, unless I can find a big block of some sort. Beyond that, it's just a matter of finding the right parts!

Anyone have any T parts? :D

*edit* I started a blog to document the build, for those that are intrested. There's a bunch of pics in it-

Thanks man! Basalt is a nice place, it's getting hot here in the desert. Nice Caddy you got there!

You should have been there for the extraction! We had to cover about 75 feet of very rocky, off-camber ground. 3 hrs of hard work by my lovely wife & I, our saving grace was having a winch there. I didn't look to hard for any dead bodies... you never know. :eek:
