Thanks for all the info on this forum! I just picked up a T. I've had all different hotrods and such, and grown up around classics and rods pretty much my whole life. My dad is a bit of a collector, when I was a kid he had a T tub stashed way in the back of our shop. I loved that car! It was never finished, and he sold it that way- broke my heart, but ever since I've wanted one of my own. Fast forward 40 some years and last week I took an 1800 mile round trip to pick up my own! It was a little neglected, but I got good start on polishing, and bringing it back to glory! A wheel/tire update are coming, and I'm toying with the idea of taking it from yellow to orange.

No Sir, I wish. I have been looking for the right one and maybe someday when the right one comes along I will. This one is a bucket.
Cottonwood You likely have seen me at the Artesia shows. I had the T in the Light Up Artesia parade last week with my daughter in it. Picked it up Monday near Laughlin, had it parade-able by Thursday. I will definitely be hitting up the locals (I know there's a few) for tips and advice!
I finally got an image to upload! I put some Tru's I had on it since they had better rubber than what was on it, and did some polishing so far. It's in line to get the tub changed to Orange, and I really want to go with some bigger rubber the rear with some mag wheels and a pair of gasser fronts. I have a little taller polished intake, new plug wires and runners, valve covers, etc. I want to dial in the details a little. I think kingpins are in order too just to tighten the front a little. Fun little hotrod though. My wife says it reminds her of the flatbottom sanger I built a few years ago, but for the street. I guess that's a fair opinion.
