Projects My 26 T Coupe Build-First Rod!

Thanks, i would have to say i do! Im def T crazy!

 

very awesome. nice job!

 

Well i do have an update (After just driving it throughout the summer!) The car is currently in the body shop! A local place down the street from my house is making new mounts for the newly chromed T headlamps (Also rasing the mounts so the sit wider and higher) and finishing up all the welding on the interior! I should be getting it back this week and I am going to put the windows in and dynamatt the inside and maybe even throw some carpet in. Here is a pic at the shop!

 

Love your T Coupe! So, are you satisfied with the way it handles now? Ackerman wasn't part of the wobble problem then?

 

Yes it handles just fine now, Im not sure what the problems were but adjusting the toe seemed to help it out fine. Im picking her up tomorrow morning! ill be sure to post some pics

also, thanks!

 

Justin its lookin just Bitchin,

 

Thanks!

Here are some pics of the new headlights and mounts! Im loving the look. The interior is also all sealed up now! I will update with some pics tomorrow

 

Well I was going to put the windows in and paint the dash today but the fuel line decided to crack and spray gas everywhere this morning during a drive! Limped her back home and cleaned up all the mess. I didn't get the windows in but me and my dad did get the dash done! Im really stoked on how it came out. I went with ford wimbledon white, as thats the color i want to do the interior. Heres some pics from today!

 

Looks great keep it going!!

 

Good ole Wimbledon white. I like your progress. Picked out a exterior color yet?

 

Thanks! And not yet, seems like i change my mind every other day! Lol still trying to figure out what i really want. So far the number one pick is chevy ocean green.

 

Got more of the interior done!

 

Oh also i decided to run a 32 ford radiatior cap on the T shell, it surprisingly looks great! ill get a close up picture of it later along with the newly polished fuel lines

 

Thats a great car, best of luck with your future hot rods, "once you buy one ya just can't quit"!!

 

Really look'in good. I like the color it is right now. Keep up the great work. Nice to be driving it while it is "under construction". Love it.

 

Hey guys! I painted the grille insert, FINALLY got the windows in!!! and took her to the cowtown crusin for the cure car show!
I also got some pin striping done by a local guy, his name is cory and he owns CB Zeke pin striping! They do AMAZING work and he's a badass dude! be sure to give him a shout for any of your pin striping needs!

 

Thanks for the kind words guys!

 

Ordered some cowl lacing from snyders; I know its originally held in by pins but my shaved firewall doesn't have the holes. Any recommendations on how to attach?

 

Couple of the stock style brass rivets along with some weather strip adhesive should do it.

Awesome car looks great

 

I won the suede and chrome award at goodguys a few weeks ago! Heres some pics from the event

 

Congratulations. Well deserved.

 

Can anyone identify this gauge cluster? I dig how it fits on the T dash

 

Not sure what the gauge cluster is Sundown. Auburn maybe?
What I am sure of though: Your T is very cool indeed. The striping adds a nice finishing touch. Awesome car man.

 

What steering wheel adapter did you use for your forty column

 

Thanks for the kind words! Ive never seen that surround before, id like to know what it is, it seems to fit the T dash really nicely.

The car doesn't have a full column, its a shortened shaft that tucks up under the dash then some connecter links to the steering box thats mounted on top of the frame. The surround you see sticking out of the dash is a custom fabbed piece

 

Ok thanks

 

wish i was more help lol, i didn't build it so I'm not sure. Sorry man

 

Hey no problem I'm trying to fit mooneyes wheels too a forty
