I like the green one! Just make sure it has a FoMoCo engine. No need to piss-off a bunch of Ford guyz at the shows because you "cheaped-out" on a Chevy motor! Jus say'in! 6sally6
I’m building a T Roadster pickup. Model A frame, deuce grille and a cut down 30s pickup bed. Shortening a F-100 tailgate. Planning a Duvall style windshield with a Carson top. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Here's a pic of my old track-T. It was a fun car. Think about moving the bulkhead behind the seat back a few inches inside the turtle deck for some more legroom.
I don't like seeing OT cars as backdrops on our sacred site. To help keep the HAMB safe and viewer friendly I am willing to purchase that flat window Z car in polluting your photo.
We purchased this one about two months ago. 80s built car , with great history . Queitly going through it and getting on top of things . Gets to be a better car to drive with each weeks of tweaking and servicing on it. The day we drove it out the gate . Couple of weekends ago. Still looks as we picked it up , but drives way better . Shrappy
Yup...gotta live the life others can easily accept. The true definition of Hot Rodding! FORD guyz....pffffttttt Go put a Chevy engine in MOPAR if you want to see some theatrics! hahahaha
I’m presently putting my 26 RPU back together after paint and shiny stuff. A touring cowl and doors and I built the rest including the bed and the chassis. Y block power. Drum brakes on the front and different tires /wheels now too.
This is my avater. Glass and not trad. Fun to drive ,for 125 miles then have to get out. Not much leg room. would like to trade for a closed car.
This is one of my favorites, I believe he is a Hambr, one of the 'Rusty Nuts'? Club? Wish I could find a side shot, very clean little T
Currently building a 27 (we think) touring car. 292 Chevy power, automatic, 37 or 38 banjo rear flipped so spring is in front, split wishbones and an undropped 32 heavy axle up front with round back spindles, wide 5s and buick finns. Going to go see about an original A frame next week, which changes up my chassis plan a bunch. Gonna use an A grille and hand build a hood and sides. And slam it...

Not the '26-7 body, but I'd go for the same vibe & follow the Aldrich roadster: Can't get any more traditional than that. .
These fair weather rides are a blast to drive! Times awaisting, go for it! Mine is a step over with a Lions body and custom frame.
jim32.....Do you, or anyone else, have any other information or photos of the evil and sinister looking '27 roadster, black with tan top, tall wires and sitting on the salt that was in your post #27? The more I look at that photo, the more I love that car. Other views of the car would be awesome, even a larger photo, or who it belongs to would be even better. This one..... Has the look that you'd expect someone who looks like this should be driving it. Lynn
Thanks! With a bit of searching I found a link to MrModelT's build thread. I'll definitely be doing some reading and looking through that. Here's a link to it if anyone else is interested.... https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/my-26-roadster-vintage-photo-search.308741/ Lynn
Clayton's (MrModelT) roadster rules. It's influenced very heavily by the Aldrich car. Be sure to find & watch the video of him & the T with Jay Leno. Best of all, you get to see the car in action!
This is the best pic of my '26 that I have currently (RPU cab with earlier turtle deck), and a period picture of a very similar car, I'm putting the period of my car and the old picture in the very late 40's or early 50's. I'm also a big fan of the Ed Iskenderian car. I know that one is an earlier body but no reason a 26/27 couldn't be built in a similar vein.
Might be my all time favorite, every time I see it the owner is never around Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
