The T in my head, thoughts?

Can you give his name?

His name is Jeff Martin out of Illinois, he lists these tops for sale on various T bucket groups on Facebook. It's a good looking top, the fit and lines work good on my speedway standard '23 body. The top is rough as-is and needs some finish work, I believe Jeff intended it to be bonded to a body so it would need some structural bracing to be a removable isolated piece.
 
Hey Mykk . . . any developments on your project? I saw your 'side shot' post on fb and was wondering . . .

Rolling with the punches of life, lost the use of the previous shop space. Put everything into storage. We had a really nasty winter roll through, the weather is finally getting good in these parts. Just secured and started moving into a new shop space to continue progress on the project. No actual updates on the vehicle, just getting things situated.

I'm thankful to be moving on from the storage unit.

 
Thanks for the response, Mykk. Glad you are still on track with the project, albeit a little behind schedule. Somehow, when you take her for that first spin, all those niggling little problems you encountered during the build will melt away! ;):D:thumbsup:

 
Schedule? Lol... Mine has been on ice for a couple of years. Life has a nasty habit of getting in the way of our plans. It's hard when the momentum is broken, hang in there.
 
I think it's very clean looking motor , will it work in a T or roadster time will tell keep us informed, I like when someone thinks out of the BOX .
 
Good to see you are back at it again. It appears that the head lamps are attached to the steering arms. Optical illusion?
 
Tanks Panky (from Lil Rascals) I remember the Tucker having a 3rd eye. Seems that there was another car that tried that with head lights. I think it is an interesting idea and hope it is sucessfull.
 
My first time welding. Just tacked things in place until a real welder with some real firepower can finalize everything.









Just a few more things to tack in place before sending the frame off to a pro welder.

Man, those are some heavy duty coil-over mounts on the frame! They'll never fail.

That's the plan. I debated on mounting them under the frame so they carry the weight rather then lift the weight. But that would've raised rear ride height higher then I wanted.
 
I love getting everything tacked up to see how it is.
Mock up and fitting / re-fitting. and just getting it right is great when you can just sit back when its done and say ..great I don't have to do that one again.
Nothing worse than having to blow it apart and do it over.
