Projects My radical little T coupe.

Down right wicked!

 

Yep, looks like a life-size Hot Wheel.
Now all you need is some huge orange track!

 

Bet a slip and slide would do in a pinch for a photo op haha

 

well I'm a little further out than I thought with the blower. Gonna take a step back get the car put back to running status, keep chipping away on the new engine and buy a new rad which I need and get my 40 Ford front brakes on. The spindle mounts and slicks are just a dream for now. Gonna do windows, brakes, and get the thing running again this weekend... maybe ill fit this 34 ford dash I got too

 

That’s going to be a wicked looking little car and fun to look at.

I don’t think it would be much fun to drive at least for me to try driving it in traffic without clearly being able to see what’s happening in front of me.

The power and visual appeal are there but trying to see around the blower would get old rather quickly.
Not bad for a 1/4 mile run but troublesome trying to see traffic and pedestrians etc.

 

He lives out in the sticks now, traffic jams more likely to be a tractor than rush hour.

 

T-boning a tractor would suck...

 

The blower really doesn’t block too much of the view. Sure it’s a bit impractical but so is driving a 100 year old car and a heavily modified one at that.

 

Well, if you think about it, there's really not that much windshield to block... so...

 

Alright everyone Jack may not be a fan of the blower or chopped cars. Whew glad we got that outta the way!

 

God Hate's a coward....

 

WHOA, WHOA WHHOOAA!!!
"God Hate's a coward....?" C'mon, man, you've got me all wrong! I was just goofin'! I totally dig chopped cars! I like the "Leave the windows just big enough to slip tickets through" look!! Blowers rule! We built a '64 LeMans with a 496 BBC with a Dyer 8-71 and dual quads... it's awesome! I say put that blower on it, what are you waitin' for? That coupe will be (is) bad ass, I'm on your side!

 

Photo dump of brake, dash and going back un blown till I get some more parts

 

That dash and those brakes look killer. Really looking forward to the next bits

 

Well I’m down with that old sickness that’s been floating around here for a couple years now. Feelin better but figured I’d outta stay inside and out of the cold till I’m free and clear

 

Wish you a speedy recovery....we just lost the owner of the So-Cal roadster to it... wash them hands and wear those masks boys! It's gonna get worse before it gets better....

 

Good time to be inside stuck in bed. So damn cold the only thing out there moving around is the wind. Ugh can it be spring now?

 

Well feeling 100x better

 

Gonna be back on the hotrod this weekend. Got some Port-o-walls to see what they look like too

 

What holds them on? Glad your feeling better...

 

@Stogy about an inch of them gets sandwiched between the wheel and the tire

 

That must be a bit of a challenge...centering it and all...

 

I think the concentric ridges on the inner diameter would make it easy to see where your at.

he’s done this before and I haven’t but I’d assume you empty the tire tire, break the bead, lay it on it’s back and shuffle it into place. Once it’s there the ridges keep it from moving and you air it up

Just guessing

 

Alright fellas! My little small block is liberated!! Plan for now is too freshen up this for the hotrod “season” and my big trip to the gathering at the roc show towards the end of the season. Got all my bits and pieces here to rebuild it, fresh paint for the it and the headers, and gonna shine up all the chrome pieces!

 

Gonna be fun!

 

Well got a lot done on my engine but got distracted and started goofin

 

New timing chain, bearings, rings, valves set, new HV melling oil pump, she’s fresh and jus about ready to rock
