AND ME TRYING TO BE ARTSY

 

and another artsy picture i like it so much i might keep the body bare metal. no paint in the Pacific North West is a bit of a dumb idea but I want to show off my metal bashing skills no bondo for me!

 

Finaly found a new job so have money for my project again.
Here is a piece to the puzzle i found on craigslist this week!

 

Keep the pics coming... that thing is looking sweet, I love seeing the T5 combo... I have been thinking of running a similar set up and I am anxious to see how much room there is for the shifter and the front seat...

Great build.

 

Great Build photos ! Gonna be a sweet ride. Keep em comming.

 

Good to see your back on the project. Congtrats on the new job!!!

Castings were delivered a couple of weeks ago, but the patern was made wrong. I should see good ones soon.

Great Crazydaddyo hopefully one of the first has my name on it.

Some of the photos are doubled up but I will put more build info here.

 

Certainly gunna have to look that car over when ya finally hit the streets

 

Q. So what have the movie WALL.E and me cleaning my Stromberg 97,s have in common?







A. cheap Harbor freight ultrasonic cleaner
​

 

How does it work?

 

Not to bad the water turns grey so it is removing crud. I did sit it in a can of Gunk parts cleaner for 2 hours first.

 

Met a great guy at my buddies birthday party who gave me the flywheel I have been looking for and he gave me a pair of truck water pumps for mock up. They leak so I will be replacing them with speedway pumps but I finally welded the engine mounts and started work on the cross member for the transmission. He also gave me a pressure plate, starter motor and a later torque tube that,s going to be easier to cut down. Thanks a lot Mark!

 

looking good!

 

Here is another view

 

ok carbs are nearly finished just waiting for a throttle shaft reamer I ordered from Vintage Speed but have not seen its been 2 weeks

 

looks good bro

 

Things have been slow on my 27 roadster because of lack of money, but I took the kids to the grand parents this week end. They got to fire guns and he got on the lathe and spun me some velocity stacks

 

how did you mount the 4x4 trans? lookin cool i'm liken it a loot

 

Now I have to sort out the radiator!

 

My wife got me these as a present from a guy here on the Hamb

 

bloodyjack, I like the look of your ''T'', its' gonna be a REAL NICE Hot Rod!
Great details too, I'm lookin' forward to more up-dates.

Nick.

 

Thanks its slow progress as time and money allows.
I guess there is more people into traditional back in the UK than when I left.
I was doing the Chelsea cruise back in the day and i dont remember any traditional stuff back then just a lot of pops and outrageous customs.

 

Bloodyjack, Traditional is on the increase here in the U.K., has been for sometime now.Lots of NICE ''T''s and ''A''s kickin' around and loads more being built!
As for slow progress, I'm feelin' what you're saying on that point and as you say as time and money allows is so true!

Nick.

 

I ordered the speedway header kit but they only supply 8 bends in the kit and i used them all on one side and its still not done!

 

Headers lookin' GOOD Man!Should sound real nice on 'em too!

Nick.

 

Looks good. I like it.

 

Way cool build, Jack! I've got a hankering for a T roadster myself. You might be careful about your exhaust running that close to the framerails. I'm sure you're aware of this, but your engine will move around a bit, especially under load. And you don't want them banging around or worse yet, breaking off. Keep up the good work!
