Hello tbucketeers!

[godchaser49]

Hello tbucketeers!!! This is my first post. I am the proud new owner a 1927 Model T!!! It's not much right now but I'm looking forward to building my first hot rod; its a family project for us, getting my wife & daughters involved. I'm sure I'll have TONS of questions and hope to get some info and guidance from others here. I have attached a pic of my chassis; it still has the original 4-cylinder hand-crank motor THAT STILL CRANKS as well as the original wooden-spoke wheels. Those are up for sale as I'm building a cutsom hot rod and do not need them. Anyway, thanks for the site and I look forward to many good discussions. God bless.

Jason,

Welcome to the forum. Any chance of posting a larger picture? You are going to love the power to weight ratio of a hot rod T. I have had more conventional hot rods in the past (i.e. '55 Ford with blown 427 side oiler) but have never had as much motoring fun as 400+hp in a car that weighs 1790 lbs. I'm 240 lbs, so you can imagine its scoot potentional with one of your daughters driving it. I let my 30 something school teacher niece drive my T and she did really good. She used to have a Subaru WRX sti, so she could drive a stick, which is what is in my Track-T. Good luck on your build and I'll speak for the rest of the guys............. post pictures of your build progress.

I live here in the mountains of western NC near Hickory (about an hour and a half from TN state line). I'm 37 years old and am in law enforcement full-time and ministry part-time. Always been a car guy, favorite car is a '69 Camaro (brother had one we were young and I loved that car) but just about all of those have already been restored, I've always liked 20's & 30" hot rods so this '27 Model T is right up my alley. I'll be glad to post a larger pic if someone will tell me how. Thanks for all the warm welcomes. God bless.

Jason,

If the file size of the picture you did post is around 10k or less, then that is all the size it will be.
