Full fendered "T"s thread... Official maybe?!

So, A trip over to L.A.R.S. proved fruitful for some "T" photographs this weekend. First up is Pete Eastwood's '15 "T" Depot Hack....Too freakin' cool!

Hey Pete, Thanks again for the front fender brackets!!!!

 

'Nother one, from over in the Rolling Bones booth, this super clever '27 roadster. Not sure why i didn't get a shot from the front on this one, but that '28-'29 shell that normally bugs the hell out of me is narrowed substantially! Anybody know for sure what the windshield is?

 

Anybody have a picture of a 26 27 touring w a fenders on it? Picked up a 26 touring and I thj k I'm going to put it on my left over 29 fender ed chassi

 

Why don't you try putting your Chassis under your body and show us what it looks like

'26/'27 bottoms modified to take '31 stanchions??

 

Here is my rpu , 40 ford front and rear end , v8 60 hp center bow in top lowered 3 inches . looking to lose the 21 inch wheels

 

Not sure George. Another friend suggested the same, but I'm not thinking that's it. I was thinking '26-'27 Chevy stuff, but who knows....

 

The upper part REALLY looks like a '31 stanchion. The part bolted to the cowl, I'm not as sure about.

 

Why yes. Yes I do... Maybe not what you had in mind though?

 

You rock that touring! and GB car with the steering correctly mounted you really rock!

 

Exactly what I had in mind

 

This popped up the other day on the "HOT RODS OF THE 1960s" page... Perfect!

 

Another neat one that came across my computer the other day, a friend of mine shot at a midwest get together. I Think it was BenD... A little outside of the focus here, but feel free to close your eyes and substitute Halibrands or Americans, or steels and caps to bring it into spec...

 

A lot of guys don't seem to know that after Norm sold the Kookie Car, he followed up with this, a '25 touring. Right now I am working to Loosely "clone" this car for a customer of mine, that was a friend of subsequent owner, Kay Trapp, and spent many an hour riding in, or driving it in the mid sixties.

This photo is from one of the very early Roadster shows at the Holly wood Bowl.

 

'Nothern, that popped up for sale here a couple of years ago. Looks like the one below might have had a bit of influence?

 

Since "T"s with "A" fenders was a question asked around here a bit ago, lets drop this here too...

 

A little sedan love, too.

 

Last one. I have always wanted one of these, done kinda like this - but let's put American five spokes polished to the nines, or Halibrands on it, possibly hanging just a touch out of the rear fender wells...

 

This ONE became "My Mother The Car" a terrible TV show. Never heard a thing about it after that. Just wonder if it is "resting" in a TV studio warehouse somewhere.
I spoke with Norm at a car show. he said NEVER rent your car to a TV producer, unless you "drive it" OR else, sell it to them, with a clause you can buy it back, and be paid for damage. Cause he said THEY WILL DAMAGE IT.

 

Nice.

 

I used to own this one, wish I still did. Last known address was on Whidbey Island near Seattle. If anyone knows the current whereabouts I would really appreciate the info. It was running a Volvo B-18 engine w/4spd, I think the Buick Skylark wheels were removed and something aluminum installed.

 

Funny you should mention that! See, Kay Trapp did sell this car to the production company that made "My Mother The Car", and they added a damned ugly Porter grill and hood. They also made a non functional replica of it for publicity purposes. The show was thankfully short running, though, and all of a sudden, the original disappeared, and nobody seemed to know where it went. It eventually was listed as "stolen" on the production company's balance sheets a couple years later, and most everybody assumed it was parted and scattered to the winds...

Last fall, Roy and I were talking about this, and he subscribed to the "this part went here, that part went there" theory. A day or two later, I'm on facebook, and a news feed pops up about an east coast concourse type event. I page through it, and am stopped in my tracks.... There it is! claimed to have been pulled out a Vermont barn after a near 50 year slumber! The author seemed to know nothing of the car before the show, too. I haven't seen anything since, and when I went back to find the post a couple days later, it had been removed. The mystery continues.

 

Oh wow!

 

Neat! Looks like a "C CAB" with a "C"-ectomy!

 

It would be the logical conclusion to take this to...

 

Don hentzell t. Wonder if it's the same car as above just different color. Whatever both pickups are beyond on point
