Thats a tuff one,
Its like comparing a classy, refined, one of years gone by, against a young and pert new comer. Given a free ticket to take one of them home it would be a tuff call.
F**** it I ll go with the young and pert one every time,.

Mind you I ll take the old gal on a trailer if I could

I might add that the fellow that owns and restored that T has the original turtle deck that is finished to match the body. He made the all wood pickup box so as to be able to ride his grandkids.

If I had to pick?
If I had to pick, it would be from your other picture with the two hotties in the kilts.
They're so cute when they're young.....
OK, OK, yeah, I'd pick your car. It is a work of art Jim.... but they're soooo cute....

Good call Gerry
After my last post I went back and looked at the two T's. The original and Jim's.
I thought of a post saying something like, look where we have come in a mere ?? years. This is a great example of innovation and done by rodders.
And where are we going? I'll not spoil the thread with the potential dark side. I want to get mine done and a chance to drive it .......... for a few years.
Yes, I should get out of here and get to the garage. Point taken.
I have tomorrow off and I promise to at least sweep the floor and organized the nuts and bolts shelf. Oh that's right, I have every day off... almost.
As you all know, I do tend to ramble on. Thanks for your indulgence.

Speaking of nuts and bolts. if any of you guys has access to a cement mixer, put all your old used/dirty nuts bolts washers and anything else you want cleaned up, throw in a scoop or two of sand and a gal of diesel fuel or Auto trans fluid works very well also and stops rusting... anyway, let it run for a bit and check how things are doing, cleans faster than you would think... (also cleans up the mixer) dump it all out over a piece of hardware cloth with 1/2" squares to get the sand separated from your parts... Now that they are clean and looking new, they are easier to store in ?? drawers? clear plastic peanut butter jars? anything that keep each size to itself... 1/2-3/8-5/16-1/4- well you get the pic...
We go through a cement mixer every 3-4 months. All the parts we plasma cut go in a cement mixer and get tumbled to deburr them. The mixers with a steel drum did not last as long as the mixer with a plastic drum. Talk about noisey, steel parts beating against each other.

Ron,
Got just what you need. The tank on this tumbler is made of 1/4" plate (I think...no exposed edges to measure) and is rubber lined. Makes a bunch of difference how much sound it generates. I've run it overnight in my basement. This thing has an electric motor with a built in 4 speed transmission. The biggest drawback for me is the mess of dealing with the water and media. I bought it to remove mill scale from flame cut plate parts but pickled and oiled material takes care of that problem.

Yes it is doing double duty, cleaning THEIR mixer and cleaning MY bolts, etc. I was thinking of building a tumbler but with so many mixers sitting around, un-used, easier to borrow and clean their mixer... The sand keeps things pretty quiet,,, even with it open...

Add more media and fewer parts, that should help with the noise level.
Of course, you could always purchase a *cough* laser and nearly eliminate finishing time. :winkn:
They used a vibrating tumbler at Murf's and it somehow became one of my responsibilities. George is right, media changes and fluid changes were a pain in the tail, but if you didn't stay after the fluid, it would pick up enough mud from the rock that it would start trying to plug the lines and the jets.
