It's a shame, really.

That the wife got to drive it first. Well, I wouldn't really say "drive it". I mean, the steering column wasn't attached to anything but the u-joint on the box, there's no brakes, the block has no crank in it, etc. But she did get to steer it down the driveway and out into the street. A friend of mine came over Friday night and we moved all the pieces from my family room into the garage and then yesterday a couple of us put the block and transmision in. Course, we just had to put the headers on. This was the first time seeing it on level ground and the first time it's been past the middle of the driveway, LOL.

The back wheels are not my final choice. The canvas for the top is a mock-up piece.

One or two things I want to tweak, lots of things needing finished, but overall, I'm really pleased with the stance, the look and the basic feel of how everything has come together. Only taken 9 (almost 10) years to get this far. Maybe this time next year it'll be rolling on its own. We placed a rad shell on it and I clamped a headlight and stand to the frame last night. We just couldn't stop giggling, it looked so mean.

Lookin good ... It don't matter how long it takes to realize your dreams, sometimes the wait justifies the time it takes to have them come true.

I really like the stance. Just right for a T.
Never mind how long it takes do what you gotta do. No one here is on a deadline.

Outstanding, Chris! Your pile o' parts is coming together. Should be cruising with the Cowtown Ts any time now!

 

[putz]

really nice looking perfection takes time.

 

[VegasBruce]

She looks great. Its a real milestone the first time out of the garage, so you can stand back and get a good look. :spy:

 

[Keeper]

Looking good, 1 year, 10 years, it doesn't matter.

 

[Ted Brown]

Lookin fine, should be, could be driving soon now...

 

[fordsbyjay]

That is a killer looking ride you have there.

 

[Track T-4]

These things always take persistence and you're getting there. Keep going. Looking good!

Fordsbyjay, Frankenstein by Edgar Winter comes to mind.

Thanks for the compliments everybody!

Gerry, your build, as well as Ted's T's, are the style of T that really do it for me. That late 60's, early 70's flaked, raked, chopped and dropped makes me wish I was born 10 years earlier in '61 instead of '71.
