Brand New Member - 32 Guy Building a Metal T- Bucket ( Southern Indiana )
Welcome aboard from Western Washington. I am building a 27 T Coupe on a modified 32 ford frame. Powered by a 351 (FORD) Windsor with a mild cam and dual Quads. I am finishing some details on the frame, and it will be off to power coating or paint. Haven't decided what the final color will be but...- Rip VW

Acceleration
Back when I lived in Kent, WA I owned a house that was about 1000 feet from the starting line at (Then called Seattle Intnl Raceways) Now called Pacific raceway. I lived there 25 years. I went to a lot of races and enjoyed the Nationals each year. One thing that was cool was they usually... -
Sometimes mom and pop suppliers not so good.
Don't wait too long to get it rectified. Dispute the charge with your CC company but don't let time expire I think you have 30 days to dispute charges otherwise your out of luck. This happened to me on an amazon purchase. I gave them too much time to make things right then when I went to my... -

Vega
Borgeson, looks pretty good to me. I don't want to go used or rebuilt. I know Borgeson make real good components. Flaming rivers Vega Box is one of those I am going to Hawaii type of boxes. It sounds good on paper it being redesigned with heavier components, but the price is what kills me...- Rip VW

Vega
I just found out I have a bad steering box, it's an original Vega Box. It hangs up when rotated to the right or left and at the same spot when the wheel is turned. I have adjusted the steering box, and it is less noticeable but still there. Now with it adjusted the center of the travel is...- Rip VW

Spark Plug wires.
I am not currently running resistor plugs I am not currently running as I am now working on the motor on this project. I have been looking at wires and it seems like everybody's wires are all basically all the same. They don't really tell you what the core is and then they say winding it... -
Spark Plug wires.
What is everybody using for spark plug wires these days. Do they still make a silicone resistor wire plug wire. I was looking at wires and it seems everyone is making wires with a percentage of silicone and spiral wound conductor. I used to use Mr. Gasket silicone wires and they were great... -
Hard or seemingly impossible parts to find???

What do I have?
I might add that stock T's are notoriously hard to get in and out of because of the location of the steering wheel. My coupe in stock form was a bear to get in the drivers side because of the steering wheel and small doors. Ford tried to remedy that by offering the "FatMan" Steering wheel... -
Using a Jack on your bucket
This is good stuff to know. Maybe I will feel better the next time I jack up the front end. It just seems to be the natural place for lifting. Thanks for the info. -
Using a Jack on your bucket
Am curious as to what people use for jack points on their Ts. I usually lift from the radius rod joint on the front axle. That I was told wasn’t a good idea as the I beam axle doesn’t like to be stressed that way. “They” also said never jack directly on the beam in the middle. It’s not strong... -
Metallic Paints
These are a lot of good tips about painting metallics. I am thinking if I try it just may be the frame first would be a good practice piece. Easy to keep a consistent pattern going and not something that would be so glaring on the non-viewable areas if I screw it up. The frame color will match... -
Metallic Paints
Fletcherson, that is what I was thinking is that unless you are a good painter in the beginning these are the problems I would be looking at. I just don't have enough confidence to attempt something that difficult. Yeah, I will probably wind up with a base / clear system. I just haven't found a... -
Metallic Paints
Anybody have any experience with metallic paint? I have painted a couple of vehicles and a couple of bikes, but they have all been monochromatic. I have been reluctant to experiment with metallic paints. I guess I am wondering, are metallics hard to spray to get an even coat not blotchy? Never...
