  1. We have been working on a fantastic project - the 1927 Ford Model T.

    Added the tires and wheels to it last week and now we are in the process of preparing it to go to paint at Xtreme Customs shortly.

    To see pics of the project from the beginning, click the link below:

    Also, latest pics of the project will be included in this thread.

    There's some weird stuff going on, but I dig the heck outta the work.

    Those wheels will get picked to death on this site!!

    Nice Job!

    I love the body work, hate the wheels. What happened to the steelies/wide whites shown in the build link? Please go back to those. Based on your previous posts, and those wheels, I'm not sure that this is the forum for you. I might recommend lurking a bit, understanding why we are here and what the hamb is all about, and then if you want to stay and discuss...start with an intro and show us your traditional builds.

    Ok. I'll say it....the wheels suck balls. Other than that, killer car!

    reminds me of a hot wheel..... a big set of smoothie billets or 5 spokes with cast centers would work well too...could be fun on the autocross track too:D

    I really dig the car. Leave the wheels on it just to piss everyone off.

    Close..but no cigar..yeah, its the wheel /tire combo that is killing it......dead
    The workmaship looks there, but those are killing the look, the stance..pretty much everything.

  20. The work looks nice,,the wheels,,,well,they are just plain fugly! HRP
     
  21. I think it does look very Hot Wheels like with those wheels. It is a good way of ticking off a lot of people on here.
     
  22. Is that Xtreme Customs down my way (Niagara)?

    I'll take a bag:rolleyes: Nice work!
     
  25. I have to agree with the vocal majority, the wheels are wrong!
    Here's a suggestion, you have a quality build, it's obvious to see, but imagine (or somebody could photoshop) your T Coupe with these wheels.
    If you think you need the bling to have a winner?:confused:
    This 1930 Model A Coupe won :
    Hot Rod the Year 2009
    Here's the website you can check out the build>

    I like the car. Not a fan of the wheels. I can't wait to see it finished.

    Even I don't like the wheels much, and I'm pretty liberal for someone who posts here. Even if you went to some slicks in the back and perhaps wires or 12 spokes in the front it wouldn't change much if the exposed motor is full of billet and front drive gear. What are the plans up there? Gary

    some things you can't un-see my dreams will now be haunted by those wheels and tires. But the body is looking good
