Projects Scratch built T

Hard to top what has already been said, but your build is just plain awesome !!
Talk about a real "Build not Bought" thread !
Keep us on the loop...you sure got my attention.

 

I think you are doing a great job !

 

Not everyone can do what you are doing and so far what you have done is looking good.

 

brilliant!!! i really liked it with the cut down truck roof, removable; even better. lots of weldin though, but im a lot better at welding than shaping so id probly tackle this job the same way. next time i wont be so quick to turn down that rusty old truck cab!!!!

 

Thanks guys, I hope to get the front steering completed today and try to get back on finishing the top. Dose anyone have any pros or cons on friction shocks?

 

I built a set of friction shocks for my A sedan, they worked well. My brother has a set on his T roadster also.

 

Nice!!!!!

 

I am planning on getting my radiator put in, but come to find out its harder than I thought. I am using a 28 A grill shell, can any one tell me what I should use to have it fit perfectly inside without going the original route. HELP!!!!!!! oh forgot to mention, I running a 454 with auto.

I believe 65 66 .mustang v8 radiators fit into a 28 grill shell ,

hay Im liking this keep it going

 

With some help from the guys here on hamb I was able to nail down the correct radiator for my T. It took me and a buddy of mine all day to make the brackets to hold the radiator and also the headlights. I really wanted to set the grill about 3 inches lower, but do to the spring and other issues I had no other options but to place it where it sits at the present. I was also able the set the steering box in, seems to fit perfectly.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!!!!!! AND GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS AND THERE FAMILYS!!!!!!

I just couldn't leave the grill shell the way it was, it showed to much of the axel and front part of the frame. I ended up adding 3 inches to the bottom from another grill I had, by doing that it covered the axel and for the most part the frame.
With that done I moved to making brackets for the lights.

Love what you're doing here. I'm anxious to see the finished product.

 

Man...thats turning out really nice!

 

Koz...gotta ask, whats the color on the shell and firewall?
That is one rich red. Really liking it!!

 

grill shell looks good curt

 

Rolled the roadster out today and put on the top, just wanted to see how it looked with the lights and grill.

maybe the curve on the rear of the could be greater just a thought
got any pics from the back

Nice Build!!

I agree about the top, it just something I threw together to see what it would look like with a top. I plan to finish all my chassis work and put it to paint before I do any more work on the body.

Innovative and resourceful work! You've spawned a movement where guys can
imagine a build. Many a de-roofed coupster looks less appealing, you got the stance and lines that say hotrod.

 

one nice looking rod.

 

Nice work - love the mopars - jaxx

 

damn! that's awesome

 

Great job

 

Here are some old pics showing what I started with. It pretty much was a wasted truck with no option to try to restore.

i plasma cut the roof out of a 90's ford wagon the skin had a nice crown to it
perfect for a boot lid and free
