    You are off to a very good start. And don't chop it. Unless you want it to look like everyone else's T coupe.
    Good Luck!

    Looks good, I am building a 27 on 32 frame but mine is a roadster. Looks like you have some metalwork to do at some point.

  9. Its traditional enough for my taste. I may change a thing or two but it is a personal choice. keep going in the direction that you are if you decide later that some part or another isn't traditional enough you can always change it.

    Wioth time your knowlege and taste in cars will change, you haven't done a thing to it that you cannot change when that happens.

    T coupe on duece rails pretty close to traditional from where I sit.

    Looks pretty good from here. Keep on developing your skills. Nice to see the younger guys getting involved.
    One little nit-pick: place the motor mounts inside the frame rails. Why? Once the car is done, and you're doing frequent clean-ups, the frame in the engine area is much easier to wipe down, not having to always clean around the top located motor mount. Just saying, from hands-on experience. But, in the end, you build it your way.
