Some pics from my build

View attachment 14378 View attachment 14377 I saw this pic( which has been framed ) of your car when it was first posted and I believe it took 15 years to complete? This is my T at 5yrs, I envisioned 1 1/2 yrs tops to finish and be on the road! I seem to have lost my get up and go. But I am heading out now.
At least you have a very neat and orderly garage to finish the great start that you have there. Neatness counts in my book.

You're right, Mike. 15 years! Many times I wondered if I'd ever get 'er done, but some good friends from the St Louis Chapter of NTBA helped me bring it on home! Keep the dream alive & it will happen! Never, never, never give up!!!
(BTW, that pic is the first cruise I attended after getting it roadworthy. What a blast!)

If I could actually work on mine, it would take shape... Too many other issues requiring my time presently.

Mike - I like the little 'nerf bar' detail on your front axle. Any more pics of the axle assembly?

Holy cow! 15 years! I know how the time flies. I thought i would build mine in a couple years too, But it's been 5 years now and still tying up the loose ends.
Good job on your car Spanky
 
I have been dragging mine around since 1998 from place to place and just started really working on it 3 years ago.
Wow time flies.

I’ll have some tomorrow
 
I was looking at your build thread Spanky, excellent work sir! That T looks great in yellow......I'm partial to yellow myself.
That's a nice looking ride Pushrod. Are those American Racing wheels? What size tires are you running? I like that combination. I'm trying to figure out what size tires to un on mine.

My rolling stock is indeed American Racing Torq-thrusts, 15 x 10 on back, and 14 x 6 on front. Tires are BFG Euro TA’s – 305/50-15, and All-Season Radials - 185/60-14. I've always liked the look of the American 'mags' - kind of a '60's thing I guess . . . :rolleyes:o_O
