Hot Rods Anyone see the Simple T ?????

Anyone know where this car is today ??? Would kinda like to know ??

 

Really nice. And ditto to what @Moriarity said.

 

Thought I saw it on craigslist a couple of years back.

 

I'll bet that's a blast to drive!

 

Great to see you here!

 

That is a super nice looking, and detailed T Roadster...but I find it a little "era" confusing.

The Model A wheels suggest a 20s/30s Gow Job, but the paint is definitely a 30s/40s track roadster look...and the interior is a little too modern I think some 16 inchers (wide 5s, '35 wires, '40 rims) would tie things in a little better...but what do I know? I'm an idiot

 

Actually those are 21 inch Model T wheels

 

Yes, I stand corrected. Now that I look at the wheels, they appear to have Model T 9" hubs, as opposed to the 28/29 Model A 10-1/2" hubs

 

Any progress on your T project Jim?

 

See Jack, you answered your own question from post #8.


JUST KIDDING!!!

 

LMAO It's more like I just verified it

 

I'm not much into model Ts, but I'd love to see some more photos of that! I like it!

 

It is clean, simple, and well thought out.

 

Body is dramatically stretched , appears to be 16" -18". Proportions still look good.

 

WOW, I didn't notice that body extension between the cowl and door. That's a great example of "design execution" of a major body modification that flows, rather than stands out.

 

Maybe a dumb question since I don't know the car but the hood says "Special-T" and not "Simple T", is that the name? Might help with searches on the internet.

 

Is this after you sold it?

 

Great video! Thanks for the fun ride. Man, a guy would really have to stay focused to drive that little beauty.
Jim

 

Yes that’s after i owned it , looks like. They did good 11. I want it back ???

 

AT 90 PERCENT DONE I SILD THE ENTIRE PROJECT ( HEALTH JUST WONT LET ME DO SOME OF THE REQUIRED FINISH ETC ). HOPEFULLY SOME ONE IN INDIAN IS DRIVING THE WHEELS OFF THE CAR …

 

WHO DID THE VIDEO ??? WISH TO CONTACT THE OWNER ????

 

Dave grassie, video was posted 6
Years ago and he hasn’t posted anything on you tube in about 4 years.

there’s another one or two videos on his account of the t

 

Who dropped that axle? WOW

 

Dave Pratt Martinsville Indiana takes two axles and forge welds a 8 inch drop !! Made the spindles with correct Ackerman etc . No longer makes them >>>>

 

Great to see you posting Jim. The flathead electronic ignition conversion you helped me set up a bunch of years ago is still cranking along. All the best.

 

Bttt. Still looking

 

Unfortunately, this appears to be the guy who made the videos:

One of my favorite builds on here. A lot of the pictures are missing, but enough meat and potatoes of the "Simple T" coming together:
