History The "Skipper T"

ROFL! Awesome! Love your T Skip.

 

Those look SIMILAR to the "Classic" style that's been around for a while. The chrome didn't last long, but I knew that going in. As far as structure, my first set lasted 3 years with no flange separation. The last 2 sets only lasted 6 months before they cracked at the flange. I think the quality has gotten bad and didn't get a 4th set.

I like the design and if you can find a set that's well made, they should last a while.

 

A true test is let's see you get in & out of it without using the door!! LOL!

 

That car is "Spot-On"

 

Skip,I'm disappointed someone didn't take a Mutt & Jeff photo of you guys!

You have always had a great eye for what looks good in both hot rods & customs,,your fleet proves that! HRP

 

It took courage to put a top on with that height windshield. I couldn't have done it on mine:

It IS a great looking T.

 

Beautiful!

 

Love that thing Mark !!

 

Freakin Sweet T Skip

 

Got to admit, I never really been that much into T-buckets but seeing that one could convert anyone over to "T" other side!
Having doors must be a huge advantage with the top up too.

 

That car has such a great vibe it's levitating that dude right off the ground !

 

I dig this car!

 

BTW Happy Birthday!

 

Like I said, the victoria is awesome but this car has my heart. It's incredible!

 

I think that's "door", singular, isn't it?

 

So can I advertise smoothie's as a traditional hot rod wheel now?

 

Hahaha...I was trying to keep my mouth shut on that one...

I love the car, just not the wheels.

Your close,I love it too,but hate the dull paint,it was never used anywere as a finel finish around Miami in the 50s or 60s,so looks like shiny would make it do it super! to me. I like the rims.

 

I thought I had my favorite T's all arranged in order of favorites. Then I joined the HAMB and saw Mark's. Instant reshuffle putting Skip's at a tie with Grabowski's. I wouldn't change a thing except the name on the title.

Very Nice its just perfect.

 

Glad someone else caught that too... In this case they don't look half bad though.

 

Thats not a windshield, thats a chest protecter...

 

Mine is about that height and the top edge is even with the bridge of my nose. I also wear a ball cap while driving and it doesn't fly off. The wind seems to go over my head and curl back behind the car.

No fenders and a chopped windshield. Seems to go together.

 

The car does not need a thing. No debates/stack of old magazines/polls or yakety BS. It is literally a time machine. It should be a blueprint for a builder that follows the era to a (wait for it...) 'T'!

 

Wrong, the paint is fine, the car is perfect.

 

Beautiful. Thanks.

 

I had a blast Skip, Thanks for letting me take some pics.

Why not? They worked for this guy in 1961.

 

Favorite T EVER!!!

in one of my cameras, i have a bunch of photos of every detail on that car. Skip was kind enough to let me crawl all over and under it at at the LB MOtorama in 2010.

 

Those are real chrome reverse with baldy caps...not modern multi-lug chrome smoothies.

Not even close to the same thing.

The Skipper T is still a bitchin car. I just have a pet peeve with modern wheels, dropped axles, etc.
