That is some real cool stuff.Is it goin to be a drag car?I just didnt see any spring on that front end..

[alchemy]

Are there 1/4 elliptics hidden under the frame horns?

[4t64rd]

I see where the spring is... is that a torsion bar, or the 1/4 elliptic, like the guy above me said.

I love the scoop and the tractor "wishbone"

[Conder]

Dan's T is a street car, with a dragster style torsion bar set up for the street. I turned the frame into a hinge just ahead of the motor...Those tractor bones were his idea and I really like 'em too!

[Dago Red]

So the bones are from a Ford 8n/9n type of tractor, with the ball & socket ends?

That's cool. I've been wondering when someone would get around to using those.

How did you eliminate bind with the hinged front horns and the 'bones' being different lengths?

Fascinating setup.

Is this the car that you are building?

[Billy the kid]

Outstanding.

[biggen]

your the man.. the work thats done on the T frame is out standing...

[Tman]

Nice Tim!

[Conder]

Stoner's car started out to be a show rod, and Allison did the first (BITCHIN') concept for it. A while later I did this junk sketch for a thread on here, and after Dan saw it we started talking.

We're both dragster nuts, so the car went the hot rod route...Dan has bled real red blood on this thing, finding true vintage parts to build it with (no re-pop stuff) and through gritted teeth has managed to say yes to me on almost everything (except a blower.)

I can't really say too much about the front end yet, but it works pretty good. When it's finish detailed out it will look like the frame's just sitting on the axle! The body is on it now and I'm fitting up the Shroeder steering. We're looking for a silver, vintage 'chute pack (cover only) and a good Olds posi in the 3:60 to 4:11 range too, spools or spiders (done RIGHT) are fine... - Thanks, Tim

Tim,
Looks good man! I'll have to stop by sometime and check out Dan's T (I've been meaning to for a while, but you know how work goes). I also want to talk to you about some paint work. Have a good holiday.

Did you narrow the door and the quarter panel?

[Conder]

Yep, I took 4 inches out of the rear window, 4 out of the door and flattened out the firewall...lost a foot! Tucked the motor into the cowl slightly and shortened the wheelbase 6 inches.

[rab71]

Oh my gawwd! That is exactly what I want to do with my T except my T is a roadster! That is sooo awsome! I had that ecaxt thing stuck in my head. Thank you for bringing it out

[Petey]

Very cool.
I thought your sketch was amazing when I first saw it.
I look forward to seeing more of the build.
