Some pics from my build

[EX JUNK]

View attachment 14378 View attachment 14377 I saw this pic( which has been framed ) of your car when it was first posted and I believe it took 15 years to complete? This is my T at 5yrs, I envisioned 1 1/2 yrs tops to finish and be on the road! I seem to have lost my get up and go. But I am heading out now.

At least you have a very neat and orderly garage to finish the great start that you have there. Neatness counts in my book.

You're right, Mike. 15 years! Many times I wondered if I'd ever get 'er done, but some good friends from the St Louis Chapter of NTBA helped me bring it on home! Keep the dream alive & it will happen! Never, never, never give up!!!
(BTW, that pic is the first cruise I attended after getting it roadworthy. What a blast!)

Mine took a good 17 years including building the chassis and sorting out Akerman .

If I could actually work on mine, it would take shape... Too many other issues requiring my time presently.

 

[Neshkoro]

From the time I started until I could actually drive it, about 5 years. 30 years later, I'm still tweaking/ changing things. You're never done.

 

[old round fart]

That is so true! Once you’re driving you don’t want to do anything to keep it from running.

 

[Neshkoro]

That is exactly right. I never want to do anything that will make unable to be driven for any length of time.

Mike - I like the little 'nerf bar' detail on your front axle. Any more pics of the axle assembly?

Holy cow! 15 years! I know how the time flies. I thought i would build mine in a couple years too, But it's been 5 years now and still tying up the loose ends.
Good job on your car Spanky

I have been dragging mine around since 1998 from place to place and just started really working on it 3 years ago.
Wow time flies.

Thanks! I feel better about letting mine sit. I need to get back after it, but something else always seems to come up.

Couple of pics after I painted it; the camera washed out the color, but it's Viper yellow - bright!

I was looking at your build thread Spanky, excellent work sir! That T looks great in yellow......I'm partial to yellow myself.

That's a nice looking ride Pushrod. Are those American Racing wheels? What size tires are you running? I like that combination. I'm trying to figure out what size tires to un on mine.

My rolling stock is indeed American Racing Torq-thrusts, 15 x 10 on back, and 14 x 6 on front. Tires are BFG Euro TA’s – 305/50-15, and All-Season Radials - 185/60-14. I've always liked the look of the American 'mags' - kind of a '60's thing I guess . . .

Me too!! Sorry Spanky, I thought that was his ride. I guess it was too early.

 

[Pushrod]

Spanky's ride is sweet, wish I had one like that.

Here's some photos from my build . . .

Really Awesome photos, Spanky! I see I have a lot to learn! Thanks!
