I have never been big on taking pics of my projects. Here are pics of my current build in the mock up stage. At the time i stated this I wanted to build a rat rod. Sorry, just can't do it. Been too many years makin' 'em look nice. I love the '23 style T's, but I fell hard for Bo Jones' modified the first time I saw it.
pic #1...The frame is my standard T bucket frame, 99'' to 105'' wheelbase, tapered rails. The rear is kicked 10'' on this one and the front spring perch is raised 5'' for the spring over front suspension. The spring is a reversed eye sitting above a gennie Mor-drop A axle. MAS hair pins front and back, '40 brakes and cowl steering.
pic #2...Got lucy on the engine. It's a '56 ford 292 out of a restored pickup. It's got around 5000 miles since the factory rebuild. Edlebrook covers and intake with 3 Holley 94's. The trans is a '39 toploader bolted to a Speed Gems adaptor. Mallory distributor with a Petronix conversion. The rest of the engine is stock
pic #3...Stock dash filled with SW guages in a handmake engine turned pannel. "$2, '37 banjo wheel cut down to 15''. 10'' chopped wind shield. "51 F-1 pedals and steering box. Authentic Norma Jean necker knob.
Pic #4...Just an exercise in header building. Willprobably weld up a set of lakes type headers. But these were fun to build from 2 old sets of SBC headers.
Well that's it for pictures. Not pictured are the '42 ford pickup open drive rear end with a T rear spring. '23 oval gas tank mounted to th top of the rails in front of a '27 rear crossmember
I had to take it apart and store it so I could work on a friends '33 Chevy 1 1/2 ton turned into a pickup. SSS ( Small Shop Syndrome ) don't ya know.
What do ya think? Be kind, she's sensitive!
