    AmericanGraffiti's Project Diary

    Yes, this is a friction shock set up. I'll post more pictures as I develop it further. While I agree with many of the comments here about hydraulic vs. friction, I admit that the aesthetic simplicity of the friction shock design outweighed my desire for a better ride. I admit that the jury is...

    AmericanGraffiti's Project Diary

    Well, progress is always slower than you'd like, but you keep reminding yourself that you really are on no one else's timeline. I'd like to be ready by the 4th of July for our local small town festival, but if not we'll make it next year (Good Lord willing!). I have the car essentially finished...

    Hello all! It is fun to be in the final assembly stage of the build. I have the frame painted and the engine and trans installed. Here some pics...the tunnel ram is totally cool!

    Hood or No Hood?

    It is a great question, and I like your photo shopped hood, very talented artwork. However, I admit that my tastes prefer no hood. Yet, it is a question of personal preference. I'd almost suggest you try it and if you don't like it, well there :)

    AmericanGraffiti's Project Diary

    It has been a long winter and with minimal heat in the shop I didn't get much done. The weather looks pretty good this week, however, so it is time to get going again! I just ordered a new tunnel ram and dual quad set up. I'll get some more pics posted as I get the engine painted and ready...

    How about a T Bucket Tag Thread?

    Hi Mike. Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I don't have any extra aluminum slot wheels around. They are becoming more and more difficult to find, but I did see some on Ebay a while back. Good luck! Thanks for the info!

    How about a T Bucket Tag Thread?

    Mike, Great looking car and like the hat also! Question: I have Aluminum slot wheels also and am looking for wheel centers like you have, the knock off style. Can you tell me what your are and where you got them? Thanks!

    Its better than "huffing!" Sorry for the drug reference :)

    Need advise or thought on the woodwork.

    Looks good to me! I am going through the same thing right now. Have you noticed how the fiberglass resin sticks to everything, including your fingers? I found that Clorox bleach wipes works great to remove it. Sweet build and looking forward to seeing more pics!

    Jeff from Indiana building a new project.

    Welcome from Chalmers Indiana! Yeah, we need warm right now! But soon enough the sun will be shining and the warm wind in our hair as spring and summer cruise season begins.

    Big redo of the old bucket

    I really enjoy your creative ideas! Steering rack through the front of the frame...cool idea!

    Seahawks or Patriots?

    I enjoy the food and beer on Super bowl night, and find the commercials to be one of the best parts of the show. I also am not a Pats fan, they are an awesome team, but get tired of them. My rooting will be for the Hawks this year. But I admit, I really don't care who wins either way.

    My first T build.

    That is the same seat I bought as well! It looks exactly like mine, you did good for the price you paid for it. If you remove the mounts, arm rest, and brackets that hold the back to the base, it may just fit perfectly in you body. Looking forward to more pics of what you decide to do with...

    I like the lines of your car and the way it sits. This mock up phase is one of the best times of building a car. Enjoy!
