Is this a Model T?

[mikesplumbing]

I can accross this today, and Iv'e had it in my computer for a while now. I just love it but have no idea what it is. It looks like some type of model T but not sure. Judging by the number it apperars to be a racer of sorts.

It looks like the cars in the first part of the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Quite frankly this would be one bad a$$ car to own, as least for me it is. Any clue to the mystery car?

No way, that's the by far the coolest thing ever. Once in a while I have seen these types of cars but never really knew what they were about. Something like that must be the coolest thing to drive. Do people build these things from scratch? Thanks for the link by the way.

Mike: Check out the photos I took yesterday about the Newport Hill Climb. There were about 20 T speedsters there running the hill.

I have no clue what this is but it's pretty sweet considering all things. I looked at this and all the other pictures you took. This is a whole new experience so i'm still in awe at this type of auto. Very impressed with the speedsters for sure. I can't believe there's not more people building these.

Yeah, this was, errr...different. I thought it was fun and there had to be some beer-drinkin while that grill shell was being built. My girl said the grill looked a bit like an ole time train cow catcher!

The speedsters are cool. When I'm older, I'd like to find an old T banger and build one to run the hill climbs. I can see myself now with goggles, a handlebar mustache, cap and tweed knickers charging up the hill!!

Are those sickle mower guards on the front axle?

Actually it is a drilled axle that pointy studs are bolted through...pretty menacing looking!
