Hot Rods A new coat for the little car

My T roadster hit the ground Sunday at 6 PM for the first tme in a month.
The main task was to put a clutch pedal and a T-5 in her, but while the engine was out, it seemed like a good time to scuff it up and shoot some shiny paint.
Whadda ya think? look OK?
Supposed to go to 52* today, if it gets over 40. we'll go for a ride.

looks pretty damn good do you have a before pic?

 

Good lookin T!

 

looks damn good!

 

I never really liked Ts.. t-buckets or anything similar, but yours sure does look nice. I think the hood helps a lot. Seriously, nice car, guess I'll have to take back all those things I said about Ts haha.

 

I'll put up a pic from Sept,.
It looked pretty good then, too.

Thanks for the compliments!

Frank

 

Thanks, Revhead. I don't like the modern versions of T's either, but this one being a 90 inch wheelbase, IS different. And it's still basic. Nothing it doesn't need to go down the road.

 

How much does that little sucker weigh?!

 

Look Great Frank .... would like to drop by see it

 

its so purty! looks great!

 

Beautiful.

 

Good job from a fellow N.J. red "T" owner.

 

Haven't had a chance to get on a scale yet, but it ain't heavy. And the T-5 is lighter than the TH-350 that came out

Thanks Al, Pm me and I'll give you my address and Cell #

And It got to 60* this afternoon and the first cruise on the concrete sea went real well. All hot rods should have a clutch pedal

Looks very KQQL.........better than the primer, all the red paint needs is a few nicks from use!

It looks like the body is sitting on top of the frame.........that and the old Ford wire wheels give it that old time look. Very nice.

 

Looks great, your T is the inspiration I'm using for mine, I really dig the feel of it.

 

im more of a flat paint guy but that sure is pretty, nice pinstripin to

 

Frank,

Lookin' good! You put new gauges in her?

 

Very cool hot rod.

 

We were on the scales at a salvage yard and came in at 1720 lbs with a little gas and no driver.

 

Just changed the temp gauge, put a plug where the gas gauge was, cause there is no sender and I have a stick under the seat. And changed the speedo to a 80 mph one.

Frank

 

nice lookin ride

 

Beatiful paint and striping. Real "Lakes" style. I bet you're lovin' that 5 gear in that lightweight hot rod. Manual transmissions RULE.
