Hot Rods Finally got a touring car!

Well after 25 yrs of wanting one since riding in one a friend of my dad had, I finally have one. Trade a OT truck for it. There are a few things I want to change, like the single pot master cylinder, redo the exhaust and I'm not wild about the gas tank. And clean the crap out of it and paint the motor and other bits. But the car runs, drives and rides great. I am chacing down a wobble/shimmy when you hit the brakes.
I was thinking about puting 28-29 fenders on it since its on a model A frame, with a fold down top and 32 style tank. But I dont know if the fenders and tank would look to streetroddish. The seats are starting to grow on me.

 

That one has a lot of potential once a few things are cleaned up on it. And it looks like it will be a hell of a lot of fun to cruise in.

 

Kool ride. I thought about an A frame and fenders under my 26 touring too. I remember looking at a 26 Roadster set up that way. I would jus drive yours and do the lil things.

 

i want one bad

 

Sweeet!

 

Cool - drive as is, and improve stuff to make the ride more enjoyable. when you find a super deal, or loaner, set of fenders get those, etc to try out.

 

Gonna be a fun ride but I think you may need a larger license plate light.

 

Love the seats!

 

yes, I can see how the seats with a little watering could "grow" on you. sweet ride, as said earlier clean up a bit and ENJOY

 

Awesome. I love touring cars. Someday... hopefully... I will have one.

 

i like everything except the exhaust.

 

Like the ride

 

Hot rod!! lucky you

 

Drive it like it is 'cept for the exhaust and the trunk. Very cool!

 

I've always liked the looks of 26-27 T's. There is one here on the HAMB with 28-29 fenders, they look good, fitting the rears will take some time. Post more photos, good luck with the project. Bob

 

Nice! Have fun with it, we miss ours so much.

 

I'd change out the couches for a nice naugahyde look and the boat headers for ramhorns too...Yes, maybe relocate the tank and get rid of the steamer trunk would also help. ZVery cool car with a ton of potential though! I'd love to have it....

 

have fun and enjoy.

 

Nice, now take it out and play with it.

 

The trunk will more than likely stay, it fits the contour of the body but I don't like how it's mounted. That big license plate light has the lenses in it but it's not wired up.
And I ordered the right addapters for the wheels today and adjusted the toe out some and the wobble under braking got a little better. Hopefully the addapters will get the rest out.

 

those seats rock... congrats
