Projects 1927 Model T Roadster build (Hudspeth)

I have posted a few photos of the build in the past but thought I would create a thread so everything is in one place. I have enjoyed reviewing threads of other builds and thought I would contribute. Feel free to comment or ask questions. I have plenty of photos if someone is wanting specifics. We (father-in-law and I) are hoping to have this finished for the Springfield MO mini Nats this year.

I like it! thanks for the pictures. Keep us posted.

 

Nice! T roadsters are so cool!

 

More Info? What Is the frame from? It looks like a Chevy with the front spring mounts bobbed off.
Is that a vw bug tank in the kick up?

Good and sound body.

Looking good!

 

One suggestion that makes it easier for people following your thread, posting the pictures full sized rather than as thumbnails makes it easier and more enjoyable to view them, thank you. subscribed

 

Here are some of the most recent.

Thanks for the feedback..

 

We do not know what the frame went to originally. We just cut and reshaped them to fit the "T" body. The gas tank came out of a Jeep if I remember correctly.

 

Here are a few more.

 

Slightly modified 283.

 

That frame follows the body lines very nicely, I like that.

 

Love it.
How big of a rear kick up is that? Doing a similar build

Sorry for the late response. There is 4.5" from the top of the frame rail to the bottom of the kick up.

 

Priming now in process with a little license plate mod.

A little more body work completed. Decided to go red on the wheels, which turned out great.

 

Nice build. thanks for sharing

 

Roller...

 

That is going to be one sweet ride.
Nice job!

 

yer grille shell ain't workin... a T, '29 A or '32 would be more appealing

 

What shell do you think I have?

 

1930

 

yep

 

To each his own I guess.

 

A little more progress.

 

Very Nice! That car's already nicer than mine will ever be. I love the way the body flows with the frame. More updates when you have the time. thanks.

 

Electrical is all done. This beauty will be ready to roll in a few short weeks.

 

Looks great! Is the cream color on the body paint or primer?
