"Godsmack"

[Gerry]

i agree, 100% been fighting "lines" the entire time.....and of course components fighting for space.....T grill shell was mocked in just for visuals. Pretty sure i'm going chopped model a grill

Stick with the T shell and just keep playing till it looks right. Trust me, its worth it.

Hopefully some more progress pictures Saturday night stay tuned

Haven't heard anything on this build since May. How's it going, nlongo33?

 

[nlongo33]

Ya, sorry guys...build has stalled a bit, ran out of time, talent and money....lol A lot of wood in a 25 T, making the channel job a bit more challenging than if it was a 26 and up......Also T isn't a priority at the moment, i have other projects that are on the fore front...However there are rumors that i might give the T a little love tonight......

 

[T-Test]

Love it a leeetle more and don't give up on it. Most of the hard work is done except the inside wood work. Winters almost here and snow will probably take over for a while.

Keep at it and good luck.

It’s easy to get side tracked... seems like there is always something else competing for our time.

 

[nlongo33]

yup, like the wife's brake job that took waaaaaaay too long due to north east rust, and a terrible e-brake design on the jeep jks...i promise you guys ill get back at er next week

 

[nlongo33]

I actually had some time to give the T some love today....got tranny mount and location pretty much set, had to figure out new location for steering box, because car is super low and original idea had to be scrapped, fire wall is marked and ready to cut, and I got headlights mounted where I think I want them..... Onto the pictures

 

[Spanky]

That's looking awesome. Not a T-bucket per se, but a T with a really cool stance! Keep the pics coming.

 

[DonnyRay]

Awesome T nlongo33.

 

[Island Girl]

That looks really cool.

The original tall T look is refreshing.

 

[Driver50x]

That is one cool looking hot rod.

 

[nlongo33]

sorry it has been a while with an update, but i still have "God Smack"...and this spring plans are in the works to start to really getting a lot done. I got side tracked this summer when a truck ive been searching for fell into my lap. I always wanted a 2 wheel drive, big block crew cab square body...and this one was the right truck at the right time..sitting for 20 years in the woods, very clean for a north east truck...so we had lots to do but this spring it gets registered and insured....4/6" drop because i cant leave well enough alone...all new brakes system as well as fuel system...and some odds and ends, the dash wasn't even cracked..if you know anything about these trucks that is rare.....onto the pics

[Indycars]

Wow, that cleaned up nice !

 

[choppedtop]

Pretty good lookin truck. Who wouldathunkit was hiding under all that dirt.

 

[nlongo33]

I haven’t forgotten about you guys or the car. Lol. Rear suspension is almost done, just need to set up pan hard bar stuff...I also took stock T lower radiator cover and flipped it to hide front spring.....enough talk. onto pics.

 

[Spanky]

Love this build! Good work.

 

[nlongo33]

With Rear suspension is all tacked in, and body is finally tacked and set in place. The T has finally seen daylight. I have also figured out how I’m going to mount the body to the chassis permanently. This being all original 25 Ford the car is more wood than steel. Creative problems creative solutions......onto the pictures
