Who's Building a T?
How about a shout out from everyone who i currently building a T?
Mine's a 26 T Coupe. It's gonna remain tall, but ride good and low, courtesy of a custom frame Z'd front and back. The drivetrain is a 425 Nailhead/Turbo 400/12-bolt from a Buick Riviera. The frame's being built in December and I'm hoping to have a roller by February. Here's some shots of it as it sits now. |

Re: Who's Building a T?
X2 on the back pat for unchopped! Always sounds damn silly to me when someone refers to their "tall T coupe", and in the next breath says "it's chopped six inches..."
As far as "T" projects around the ranch here, I have my modified ('27) a customer's Archer glass bodied '23 touring done "T" bucket style, and eventually my '24 roadster done full fendered. |

Re: Who's Building a T?
BTW, Here are a few cars I look at for inspiration:
Mercury Charlies old T (black with the purple flames by Von Franco) Stoner's Hemi powered T sectioned vertically by Tim Conder (majorly badass) Wertheimer's Golden Rod (built by Von Franco) |

Re: Who's Building a T?
I'm just getting started on building a copy of the car that inspired me back in 1958! Right now, the coupe body is off the frame, all the garnishes, dash etc. are out and it's on it's way to the media blaster. I was lucky enough to find one with very little rust - just a small hole in the right side quarter panel and a bit where the spare tire bracket was bolted on. Here's a pic of what I'm shooting for. Jeff Norwell did this artwork for me back in 2004.
