******Pic's of my 27 T-modified*******

Here are some pic's of the T-modified that I built with a lot of help from my friends, especially Wes and Bill. The only things that were farmed out were the nickel plating (I polished it first) and the windshield glass (I helped with the installation) and some lazer cut brackets, that Wes designed. I also farmed out the quick change set-up. The paint, is a black lacquer driveway job and the upholstery was sewn by my wife Pat, on a rummage sale industrial machine, after I cut up an old leather couch and made the patterns.

WOW!!! Very nice!

 

That is awsome. I love nickel plate.

 

Nice!

 

that thing is double throwdown bad!

 

Very nice....anymore pics and details. I'd like to see more interior shots.

 

Very nice you should have "a boner" cool car man congratulations

 

I like it alot! Whats the wheel and tire combo? John

 

Very nice!

I'm doing a 26-27 modified too, can we get a few more detail shots of the suspension?

 

Yes, please more pics of the suspension and interior, specifically the doors/hinges/latches and the front suspension.

 

good job..i love it. there's only 1 thing i would change about it.. i would remove the hood sides, or add a hood. to me it looks a lil funny with just the sides and no hood.. but thats just a minor detail other then that wicked car

 

Thanks for all the nice comments.............
The floor is like a belly pan, it hangs down 5" below the bottom of the 2"x4" side rails. The floor goes under the TH350 trans. The seat riser on the pass. side is an approx. 8 gal s.s. gas tank. The engine is a small block, with a mild cam and gear drive. That along with the halibrand Q.C. makes some sweet noise. With ear plugs, it sounds just fine! Instead of a door, we use the Q.C. as a step to get in, which works out real well. The seat cushions fit in garbage bags, in case of rain. So far we have put the cushions in the garbage bags twice, but didn't need them, because it ended up only sprinkling. Here are some more pic's, one of the interior, and the other showing how you sit IN the car, not on the car, as I'm 6' tall.

 

VERRRY NICE!!! Boat loads of talent, ingenuity and craftsmanship!Bill

 

Really understated, really sharp. Looks awesome.

kinda lame question, but what's the air cleaner? me likey.

The front end is a sucide style spring over the axle, with adjustable perches.
The rear is a 3-bar plus panhard bar....Two out side bars, run from the frame rails back to bottom of the rear axle, and the upper bar goes from the center section of the rear end, to the trans. mount crossmember (it runs next to the drive shaft, in the tunnel).
The panhard bar runs side to side like normal.
The rear spring is a model "A", mounted with model "T" adj. spring perches on top of the axle tubes.
The wheels are 15"x5"and 7".
Tires are 15" coker Ribs in front and the rear are 29" tall 7:00x15" Nanco LT truck tires from Farm&fleet. (a little stiff, but not too bad, and the price was right).
The lack of a hood top is part of the plan to get some of the heat out of the cockpit, with the transmission in the cockpit!...It seems to work real well. At high noon, the most brutal heat comes from the sun beating down, and in the evening with a t-shirt on, at 70 degrees and 60 mph, it couldn't feel better. At 50 degrees, it isn't too bad with a coat and hat. Maybe I should install a hood top...it might be good for 30 degrees then.
The small battery can just be seen in the interior shot, at the very right, mounted off of the cowl hoops. It is out of a portable starting unit, and works real well.....(UPDATE) has been changed to a Harley Sportster battery.
The shifter is mounted just below the dash, and shifts L-R. It operates with a cable from a boat supplier. We did that to make it easier to get in and out of the car.

 

That is a beautiful and bitch'n roadster you have.

 

It's a very early MQQN item............................. really it is made from a old sand cast cooking pan, that when I spotted it at a thrift store, looked like a very early MQQN air cleaner. All it needed was 10 hrs. of screwing with.

 

mucho bueno!!!

 

Nice job...cool mod!!!

 

This is a great car! It has tons of great details, Its always a good day when I see it blaze past the shop!

You should show some pics with the cordoba wheels those are neat too.....

 

...and, how about some pics of the motor?

pigpen

 

Sweet!! That's a first class job a boner.

 

Very very nice, Now thats what Im talking about!! What did U use for the frame? any detailed pics of the frame with the body off?

 

Here are some pic's of the chassis, under construction. The frame rails are 2"x4"- 1/8" wall tube, Pie cut through 3-sides to follow the contour of the body.

The wheels on this pic are 6"x15" 1970's Chrysler Cordoba from the junk yard.
