    i just drove a 8 hours both ways to pick up my new project (and go to a friends wedding). Its an Amodel chassis that we think has come from a local drag racer, a flat head V8 and 39 box, 32 front end and diff and 40 wheels. I all ready have a 27 T roadster cowl and some other bits and pieces and want to build a channeled track style modified or roadster.
    I did a search and couldnt find much so if you have any sort of T or pix of some you like post em here I want some inspiration. My pick up is almost done and will be moving on to this once my new garage is finished.

    Lets see em what you got, sedan, roadster, pick up or what ever!!!!

    I just took a 26/27 T 2 dr sedan that was cut off behind the doors, in trade for some cab work on a 21 Dodge roadster pickup cab.

    The doors were missing and are hard to find. I got 4 doors from a 26 Dodge sedan from the guy. I spent 5 hours yesterday trying to mock up a pickup cab, but it looks wrong with the short stock T wheelbase.


    I now want to make a panel delivery with the skinny quarter windows. I need to get some new sheet steel and get going.

    First pic shows what it looked like before. I had to move the B pillar forward as the Dodge doors are not as wide as T doors.

    Here is what I picked up with a cowl and a dodge grill shell that i picked up as part of a deal from a clearing sale. I am swaping out the flat head for the rest of the body panels that I need to a friend who wants it for his 48 ,and be i'lldropping in a 283 that I just traded for a Ford Clevland. I have been swaping parts and horse trading cars and parts over the last few months so this thing ows me a grand total of $0. I will post pix once the truck is done and I have made a start.

    '27 T, lots of fun to drive, not very roomy and not very comfortable. For more info you can look in my thread posted below.

    Coolest roadster possible, if you can fit in it, is a 26-27 on 32 rails.
     
  22. Was at a show n' shine this past sunday in Campbell River, B.C. & took some pics of this Model T chassis. The owner also had it wired & would fire up the Ford Flat Head!
    Model T roadster body will be going on this chassis shortly! Take a close look at the workmanship & detail he has put into this chassis!
    Hope this provides some inspiration for your new build!!:D
