Projects "No Quarter"- '27 T coupe project

Very cool. I'll be studying your build in advance of building my 26. Only mine will be a tall T -- a cross between Mercury Charlie's old T and the one Conder is/was building for Stoner. Look the dash! Very inspiring.

 

It's been a month since you updated this build, I am sure you've got something done since last time. Give us an update?

 

I've been wondering where to put the clutch and brake peddles on my coupe, your's looks pretty nice, only problem with mine is that I notched the Firewall.

 

Very cool T! I'm gather parts, thought and ideas for a '27 T right now myself. Yours has been a great inspiration. Can't wait to see it all done.

 

Thanks fellas....

Really nothing to report Neil.....I'm redoing the steering, not happy with the Corvair box...it's ugly. A freind is lending me a Vega for mockup, as well as some front tires/wheels so I can see how she sits. By "sits", I mean it's pushed off in the corner of garage....
Spring is coming fast, and need to get floors replaced and fresh paint on the jetboat.....

I'm easily distracted by misc. projects.....notice the start date of this thread...this car shoulda been done a year or two ago.....but won't be for another year AT LEAST.....$$$$ is TIGHT.

 

It's all good man! Just tryin to see if I can get you motivated to work on it.
If you need a hand just hollar!

 

Dash "ears" are SICK!

GO man GO!

 

loving the look.........the dash rocks..........

 

I thought he was a Led Zeppelin Fan....the song "No Quarter"

 

Just ran into this thread today .The dash is great. Nice blend to the doors

 

Rounded up some more metal to finish out the trunk....
Cut up a TH350 converter cover for the hump to clear the rearend...

 

You may already know this, and it may be a little pricey, but Hurst is still selling the pistol grip sticks.

I think an e-body stick might work even better in there, depending on your seat hieght/position...

 

Any progress is good progress, good to see your still on it mate.

 

Yeah...thanks George...
This stick is for a '71-4 non-console B-body and feels perfect. It was in my '68 B-body, which is actually too short....gives me an excuse to get the better fitting, '70 Non-console shifter for it.

 

Well, when it comes to shifter handles, if it FEELS right, it IS right.

 

Floors finished....starting on rest of body....

 

Looks really good. Chop is perfect.

 

Looks great, I was just wondering what you had been doing on it.

 

Yeah dude that T body is looking good and the dash looks great. I was wondering how you were doing on the ol' girl lately.

 

that did you use to roll the beads in the floor? the dash is killer

 

Looks great, glad to see your back on it!
After boating season, we better see some big updates!

 

Floors look good!

 

Thanks fellas....progress has been slow.....I have other things going on...that and no $$$ for a few key parts I still need.

A reinforced Harbor Freight bead roller.....

 

Frame almost finished...just need a rear spring and a Vega box to finish up then I can paint it....





And now on to the bodywork.....

 

Your build thread has been an inspiration for me. Thanks for taking the time to take the photos and post the build.

I just bought a 27 Coupe after watching the "Rides" program about "Bad News", in hopes of building a killer rod just like it. However,.....after reading your thread, I really like a lot of the things you've done and have learned quite a bit about what I'd really like to do. I love the swept frame!

Thanks again for taking the time to keep everyone here posted as to your progress!

 

It's looking good Josh.

 

Flipped the body to finish up the floor....

 

Just found this thread, cool build dude!

 

I really like what you have done. It looks great! I am also building a T-coupe. I was curious what rear spring you were going to run? I think I read that your rear Z was only 5 inches, so are you going to put a 40 front spring in back? I think thats what Bad news has in it but i have no Idea how much Z it has

 

Wow!! Looks great!!
