I googled this car hoping to find clearer pictures and got this result. Cool car. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/the-jerry-mckenzie-t-roadster.860473/ EDIT: totally missed your reference to Ryan's post until I read yours a second time. LOL!!
The proportions are great... I wouldn't have thought a T would be so difficult to find in the early/mid 50s, they still seem to be everywhere around here, but I'd say the builders perseverance definately paid off!
This car is the chit. I think that one with a 30s era big truck motor or a tin side (one extreme or the other ) would be doable too for a drive train. This one is as smooth as silk. In the late '60s when I was in high school Ts were plentiful, but mostly '22-'24 believe it or not. That and Model TT trucks. I still prefer the '25-27 bodies though. They render themselves well to this type of build.
A couple from my collection. Second pic is from the 1956 National Roadster Show in Oakland. Other pic is earlier, I believe an early Indy show, may even be Detroit Autorama.
