Projects "No Quarter"- '27 T coupe project

Slight progress....been busy wiring and running brake lines...mocking up radiator....
Engine is almost ready to fire....
Need to make some cool headers....and figure out what's going on with the advance on the Roto-Faze...

 

So glad to see progress being made!!! Looking good, don't stop now!

 

Looking pretty dope!!, can't wait to see the final product!! I've been collecting parts for my 27 coupe ass well!!!

 

This is one of the baddest ass T coupes goin!

 

This little car is starting to look pretty slick, you've accomplished quite a bit. Don't stop now, before you know it it will be finished!

Also, a chrome fan would damn near finish that motor off.

 

Thamks guys.....

Yeah...I'm gonna look for one....the black one is too big anyway and hits the radiator inlet....

 

I'm diggin' the spider in the shift knob! Cool ride!

 

I love the fact that you put a stick in it. There needs to be more stick cars!

Wiring is pretty much done....as are brake and fuel lines.
Radiator mounted and plumbed.

Painted and mounted master cylinder and hooked up pedals.




Also found the remaining switches and chrome pieces needed to finish off the dash...



Next is a fuel tank.....as well as redoing the front shock and headlight mounting "situation"....

 

Looks great as usual...Love that Master Cylinder!

 

Looking very good

 

Enjoying your work very much,thanks 4 posting

 

Seeing progress on this T makes me warm and fuzzy on the inside..

 

Bitchin!

 

Nice build .

Jake

 

Looks pretty damn cool. I am gonna have to swing out and take a look at in person.

 

Thanks guys.....it's been a rollercoaster ride of a build....but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.....

Better hurry......otherwise I'll just DRIVE it up to yer place.....haha....
Just finished completing M/C plumbing.....my son helped bleed the brakes and clutch. Just a driveline and shift linkage away from this sucker moving under it's own power!

 

Hell Ya!
Can't wait to see some burn outs!

Good job man, Its cool to see it comin from a pile of parts to this! What do you need to fix on the shocks?

 

That dash looks killer!! Really nice work.

 

Thanks Neil.....well....the shock issue is that I didn't allow enough room for the shock eye at the wishbone...that and I don't think there is a shock short enough to fit. But plan B is to run a friction shock....which should be fine.

I got a small batch of parts today, enough to fire the engine!!! Going to get some exhaust tubing to build up some headers.....she's a "tad" LOUD....haha
I used the Unilite I ran before on Trouble Maker to light 'er off.....got some tuning to do on the Roto-Faze...a friend has a dizzy machine so it shouldn't take too much to dial in....

Pretty damn excited after hearing her run...smoke and FIRE bellowing from the pipes and carbs....lol....

 

Don't know if your interested, but here are a couple shots of my friction shock set up on my 26 T

 

Thanks DaddyO....who makes those? Are they aluminum? How to the dampen the ride?

 

Damn Josh I just sold a set of frictions at the swapmeet.

 

i hope ya change out those sparkplugs they stick out like a sore thumb...jeffrey

 

No worries Jeff......they'll be changed before going out in "public"....haha....

Really Eric??? I didn't realize I needed some till after I got home and tried to fit the shorty shocks I bought....DOH!!!

 

The friction shocks themselves are from Speedway, then just make your own linkage. They actually seem to work pretty good. I have torn everything apart and repainted this winter, currently going back together. I would definitely use them again.

 

That's one sweet looking T! Can't wait to see it finished... Keep it up!

 

Started making a grill shell....not sure if I like it yet. Made from '60-1 Chevy truck hood "eyebrows"...maybe lights molded to the side or free standing.
Need to borrow a '32 shell and see how it would look...although I'd still have to modify it to better fit the look I'm going for.

 

Shape looks good, but it sits too high. I realize thats the height the rad is at, can you drop both a bit? Can you drop it down so the bottom of the shell sits down an inch or or 1.5" in front of the crossmember?

 

I hear ya.....yeah...it needs to be a tad longer....I could add material to sides to lengthen @ 3"...I was bored today and thought I make something to get an idea of what I wanna do...
The radiator can not be moved any lower.....it's on the cross member now.
