    Wobble under braking

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to first remove the drums and check for warping. At the same time I'll check the bearings. Thanks again

    Wobble under braking

    Just got the T back on the road. I have a sucide frontend. During my rebuild I changed all rubber bushing. Tie rods and king pins are the same as before. Now I have a wobble under braking when traveling above 25 MPH. Before I tore the T down for a complete rebuild and paint, it did not...

    Off topic, but not too far - the sequel

    Is that a reel to reel? How my eyes wonder.

    Update on my 26 T

    It's been two long years but yesterday I was able to start the engine once again:). Although the float initially stuck, a half hour later I was in business. A little more wiring and I should be on the road again!

    .125" stainless then 3/4 ply and 16 gauge sheet steal, all sanwinched together. The stainless is great but took awhile to get it looking good

    Windshield Support Rods

    Came up with a design that I like. 3/8 rod to a mount on the headlight support. Will have them chromed, just waiting on the heim joints to be delievered. Total cost $24.oo before chrome. Thanks for all the suggestions.

    Update on my 26 T

    The firewall is not chrome, it is stainless and took a few days to polish it to my satisfaction. I loved it once the engine and tranny were installed.

    Windshield Support Rods

    Thanks for both posts, I do have a steal body and the windshield mount area is reinforced. I was thinking more about vibration instead of freeway speeds. And I grew up looking at the old T's with them. Does anyone know where the best place to buy a set are? I've only seen them at Speedway. John

    Windshield Support Rods

    As I put everything back together, I'm thinking of running without a top. My concern is that the top mounted to the windshield frame, if I don't have the Top on do I need the support rods that attach to the windshield frame I see on alot of T's? Also I have seen them attached to the headlight...

    Update on my 26 T

    I haven't had any problems with cold starts, my only problem was that before I got the car it had been parked for 16 years with a full tank of fuel, no matter what I did for the first month or two I would have clogged fuel injectors(had to change tank and lines). You don't just go to Autozone...

    Yes it is 1962 Vette fuel injection. Ran it the 1st year and it worked great! Something you just don't see everyday.

    Update on my 26 T

    I started this project about 2 years ago, I got the Bucket from a friend and drove it for a year. I developed a plan on what I wanted to update and what I wanted to keep original. A good friend and I started the body work after we had it plasted (steel car), took a lot longer then we had...
