Projects "No Quarter"- '27 T coupe project

Front suspension mock up....
Bone's are drilled for OG Ford perches to insert and will weld in. Axle mounted in front, kinda suicide, I guess....to help get the front a little lower.
Also set the engine in place...just 'cause I couldn't resist....
Once I get the engine and trans mounts made and their weight on the front end, I'll finish welding up the front and cleaning things up....then to the rear.

 

>>>>>,Lookin' bitchin' man ,,keep the progress pics comin' ,,been there done that ,,,here's mine i did 5 years ago ,,,"go man go" !

 

Looks rad! Looks like them perch pins worked as well for you!

That is going to be sweeeeet keep us posted.

 

Missed this before but got here in the end , looking forward to seeing your progress.

 

They did....thanks again fro sending them to me.

Cool, I'll have tio check 'em out. Thanks!

 

Nice progress shots!
Do you know what rearend your gonna use? How are you gonna set it up? What's your plan for the trans?
I will have to come by and check it out sometime!

 

Great build! Great direction! I think you've got it nailed.

Looking forward to more progress pictures and updates.

Stop on by, just give me a heads up to be sure I'm home.....

Rear end will be an 8.8 with 3.27 gears with transverse spring and P&J ladder bars. Transmission will be a Muncie M-20.....fully polished.

 

So that's what you've been up to. Cool man! Wacky 60's paint scheme planned for it????

 

Define "wacky"......haha!

The "plan" for now is blue metalflake frame with white pinstriping. Same blue flake on dash...white accents, vinyl, etc....
Body??? Not sure....mild....maybe a satin blue with candy blue fogs.....or white with light blue fogs, not a big fan of white, but alot of '60's show rods were white....whatever will hide some of the many scrapes and bruises this old body has...

But who knows....still to early to tell what I'm gonna do....haha!

 

Damn, I have one in my garage right now that I keep lookin at thinking I should build it. Body is a hair rustier than yours. So far your thoughts on the build are looking sweet!!

 

Had to subscribe to this one, I need to get the one I found bought and home. Great looking ride. Nice pics also.

any updates ??

 

This thing is NICE! I'm getting anxious for my T coupe to arrive here in Aus, I had an idea of a very similar build to yours.. Looking great with that front sweep and axle setup, and I love the dash! Keep it comin'

 

nice score! cant wait to the progress on this one. I love T coupes. I have been looking for a decent T sedan body for a while myself.

 

Fresh paint....
Light met. pearl blue base, blue flake, and some sparklecence blue fogged along edges....
Next is to polish all the aluminum, including the bellhousing and transmission.....after mocking it all up in the chassis.

 

Looks good man, love the Roto-faze!!

 

Thanks Chris...
Still looking for an older Roto-Faze with the two side caps....but this one is pretty cool too...

 

Mounted the rear ladder bars today, cleaned off the extra crap from the 8.8 and tacked 'er in....
Also boxed the front frame area and installed new kingpin bushings in spindles. Hubs are at the machine shop being turned to fit Buick drums....(psst...Wayne, are they done yet?)

If all goes according to plan, this should be the stance/ride height.....

Hope to have it rolling in another month or so and push 'er outside for a better look...then pull body to finish welding up the frame.

 

looks like another killer project in the works...jeffrey

 

Made some motor mounts today.....
Cut the backs outta some Chevy truck mounts for the block plates, welded some scrap tubing to it and added a little gusset. The mount will use a urethane bushing.

 

Excellent work...

 

Slight progress.....floor boards...

 

Ha, you need to get those Buick drums on there!
Lookin sweet!!

 

Great progress. Floors look good too.
