    Man, you guys are killing me with all of this early Ford iron available in the north west. It seems like you and your brother have a new great looking project every couple of weeks.

    yep. Culling the heard. Got ride of my mint 26-27 Fordor body also.
     
  6. If you and your brother quit buying more projects you would actually be able to get a few badass cars all the way finish built.

  9. define "finished"?

    I dunno about you but my Brother and I have gotten numerous "projects" on the road. Read through our past threads...it's not like we just pile shit up and crack open beers.

    The two of you have it made in the shade! THere are definitely some awesome cars between the two of you guys and throw your dad in the mix and it's almost too much to bare.

    I didn't see it anywhere but any idea on power plant yet?

    That's a cool vent. I was wondering how mine will be on my 26/27 Roadster. I'd like to keep the tank up front though, so it'll get figured out when the time comes.

    Oh, I meant I am trying to keep up with Dad! :p
     
  24. You know, Nice shiny paint, a little tweed, and lot's of billet....:D;)
     
  25. I know! I'd really like to get their dad cornered for a minute and find out what he did to them as kids. I'm pretty sure that he ground up old ford parts and mixed it in with the food. I need to know....you know, for the future when I have some kids myself.
     
  26. the world needs more hot rodded T coupes.
    looks like a great start. Henry would be proud.

    heres a quick mock up
    We're going to go with the 36 rear axle & bones, early T tank, Model A front and rear springs, 46-7 front bones, chopped posts for the windshield, traditional steer with a ford box using a cut down Ford column with a T steering wheel re-hooped with a wooden Superior wheel. (Not alot of room in there) Boxed and trussed T frame. 2.3 Ford (looking for a T-5). call dickster27 for 2 97's on a slingshot and this litte piggy's done.

    I have a 331 Hemi with a 6x2 Edelbrock sitting here in NC that's waiting for you to bring the body over. I had my friend Daemon come over today to take a look at my '32 that I have and he just said...."Wow, there's practically nothing left hahaha" so that made me think about a '27 again to say the least.:eek:
     
  30. Chris, That "A" of yours still keeps me up at nite. Thought I had the 49 sold but the dude backed out last week, after giving me the sob story of trying get money together. I really had a blast driving over with Steve & Josh on East vs West. The 49 just jugged away. That's neat project, always like the "Bad News " car. Look forward to seeing updates on it ! Rob
