Went to the secret location to intrude on Kevin's 23 model "T" build...It was a great weekend of wrenchin and wrelaxin. I got to bolt the tub together.......... The old tranny has to come out...... The new engine has to go in......... The body goes on.......I missed this part must have been napping.. Looks like Kevin napped too. Dreaming of crusin down the road..... I made dinner.......Jerzee corn, green beans and aspargus, and a picinic pork. A little late night body work...... Out Takes....... The master steps in...... Don't try this at home....... Kevin grooms himself for a night in the Big City.... This was so much fun it feels like it's illegal.....Thanks.
coo l project , looks to be a bunch of cool projects in that yard , hope for some more build photos to i like T s
Those thong sandals don't appear to be OSHA certified Mel... Looking good boys, thats alotta work for one day!
Who says " where's the young guys"? There building bitchin old style rods. Looks like something out of the 30s.
Looks like a great start to a really fun car! Throttle linkage tip: just bolt the stock A set up on the trans (remember the shims between the trans and engine block) and position the body about 1/4" back and locate the body mounts. Worked fine on the "Stupid Car" 12 years ago- still going strong!
pops came and helped out a little bit, it was fun good to have him around, helping and grilling. I was working on the body a little bit more today... trying to get it solid and square is no easy task, and welding old thin rusty metal sucks! but its fun and challenging... wont be long for this one, hopefully i will have the body solid in a day or 2 or by the weekend.
haha thanks... here is a picture of it from today, straight out of the 30's body is about 90% solid and will get bolted down tomorrow and the seat riser is going in... windshielld is getting welded and leaned waaaay back
i plan to get the body solid and mounted, get a seat and some plywood in the floor. I have some 16 inch wires and bigs and littles (6.50 and 5.50) for it... Im gonna get it running and the brakes adjusted and dialed in and goooo... down the road ill get a speed head and an intake, or just put a flathead in it hahaha. o and im looking for a pickup bed for it. it will be a very early period, bare bones car... i d love to do it a little more fancy like 50s style, but im broke and cant afford chrome or anything nice haha. Im stoked though, nothing newer than like 36 on it for now i guess.
Secret location??? for some reason it looks really familiar to me...and I always do my best torchin' in flip-flops
Thats a sweet junk yard... Where did a kid like you find all those parts? I gotta get me some... POPS...stop taking pictures! Or clean the yard, one or the other.
Nice ride, it will be fun. Just don't lean that windshield back too much. And instruct the boy on the negative aspects of mechaical brakes...unless you're going to do hydraulics...I recommend them.
