Features Who's Building a T?

Cool find, complete with engine!

 

If that ran about body is 1917 T, then what year and make would the body on this hot rod be???
I always thought that it was a 1917 until now!!!

 

Might be '17, but it's not Ford. Dodge Brothers, I'd guess.

 

yers is a Dodge 1919... could be a 1917 Dodge, their are minor differences in those years

 

Here ya go

22-23 Dodge...the earlier Dodges had different stanchions than the one pictured

 

Got the top done - not installed yet - just sitting there. Seats are next, then finish wiring and exhaust pipes and I'm driv'n this thing.

 

Nice job, bro. This is very inspiring to say the least. Love the color, the stance, the wheel and tire combo, the roof. Well done!

 

Thanks for the positives I appreciate the comments.

 

Yeah buddy! Progress is good!

heres the one that got away she was my first build

 

If possible, keep this as it is, only repair enough to make it legal/safe to drive they get heaps of attention, way more than a painted/modified car. Looks like it has newish wood in the front wheels?

 

Cheers Eric, you and Bob give me insperation. Im routing the e-brake cables today. JW.

 

Someday this will be a touring car.

I really admired this car when it was for sale. So low. Crazy low.

If you have any build photos of the chassis, I'd love to see them.

 

The latest "development" in my build.

 

I think it should be lower. Maybe an inch or six.

I'll probably have to move it outside to do that - and get a shovel.

 

Had trouble with my image host - here are the pics of my build...at some point I'll get around to doing a build thread;

26-27 Roadster tub;





Motor (mocked up);





And a little dash mockup;

 

I need advice. Some of my body panels have been hand formed and the work is on the rough side. Do i replace it? Do i leave it out of respect?
Here is a sample, the back panel extent view and 2 pics showing how they formed the curved corner and brazed the piecuts.

 

Very little respect shown in creating those panels in the first place.
I'd starting over with panels that I was happy with, especially since it is your build now.

You will feel much happier about it in the long run...

 

Making progress!

 

Wet blasted the chassis and suspension today. check my thread for details and a video if interested.

Well it looks like the stock 1926-27 Ford Ts are domed

 

Huh????

 

Domed ? Like under the dome ??

I think that the ones you posted would make awesome rods.

Stock, Why is all I can say If there is one in a museum somewhere then that will do.

 

I say doomed for the museum, or destined to be bad ass hot rods!

Hahaha, DOOMED! Now I got it!

Stock T's are basicly curiosities more than anything now. Fun for collectors and the hardcore.
Replace the stock driveline and you set them free!!! LoL

 

You've got some killer stuff to work with, very nice.
That firewall is different from mine, do you know the year?

The body is beautiful.
