I hadn't thought about this thread for a while. We're up to 182!

 

I'm looking to trade /sell this one...I have two chopped top channeled coupes...I'd like to get a full fender early ford..I love the full fendered coupes

 

I've had this car for 8 years now. I'll get to it one day. 'A' frame, SBC, 4 spd.

 

Built turn of the century. Sold in '08.

 

Zero

 

Just got this body. It will be going on a chassis I have been building. Pic in next post.

 

A frame. A rear. Mix of front end parts. A motor. B trans.
Question: this body came with new sides, pictured. Is there supposed to be a sheet metal piece that picks up where I am pointing and covers the side of the subrail back to where the fender starts?
Thanks,
Scott

 

yes it goes all the way around the wooden subframe/ turtledeck floor under the deck....what was wrong with your old 1/4's? they looked pretty good ...how come the new 1/4's are so much shorter on the flat area at the very top behind the door?

 

Actually, Scott, there's a subrail that runs the perimeter of the rear, (roadster and roadster pickup, I'm pretty sure) the roadster's 'bustle', or 'poop deck' fits on top.

 

Old wuarters were touring with an actual roadster back section grafted in. i think the flat area only goes that far because wood is supposed to come up that far. It was flatter on the original one because it was a touring which would have been flat all the way back but had a crude ‘recess’ put in to look like a roadster. I think the recessed area is where the wood is supposed to be right? Also, the subrails are cut just behind the first cross brace. I got the back part of another set of subrails so I will have to trim accordingly and weld them together. Nailhead, where is that pic from and what the heck are they called? I have been searching for them but didnt know what they were called.
Thanks,
Scott

 

Mines in my avatar. ( Too ugly for the hamb, but still mine!).

 

Finally adding pics to this post. Pulled her out the other day while sorting out my shop after winter storage of the summer stuff.
Also picked up a Chevy 250 the other day for her. Tossing the v6 out was in it when I got it.

Lots of work to do to her undoing some stuff and making her mine

I sure like those cheaters. What are they? What size?

 

Looks like the Firestone tread/sidewall.

 

Mine's all blown apart for paint at the moment. This pic was taken a while ago.

 

25 RPU with Rajo OHV head and a Ruckstell.

 

It has been awhile since I thought about this thread. Looks like the count is up to about 225 or so. If you have a T and haven't posted, please do. It looks like we number about one tenth of the model A owners. I wonder how many Model T's have survived to date? Weren't the production totals something like 15 million T's and 5 million A's? WWII must have wreaked havoc on Model T population.

 

Here is my beater...I heard somewhere there was 200,000 or so still registered in the world.

She's slowly coming together.

 

Here's my '27

 

Pulling out the engine with the Rajo and installing a Himico built engine with Himico 3 speed sliding gear transmission and Himico High compression head.

Mike's correct, the subrail is the same gauge as the rails under the rest of the body. It's the same, roadster or
roadster pickup.
