steel '21 T roadster

[Allen]

Hi Ron, I sure wish I lived closer to you. Working with metal is what my lively hood is. This is the stuff I love to do the best. Lately, I've been telling guys not to chop the tops on their cars. It takes work away from me, but that's how I feel. I love to work with old tin. Neat project.

It's so cool to see what's hidding in a piece of metal.

Very nice Ron :hoist:

I took some time away from my shop work this weekend to fill the unwanted holes in the firewall. I left the holes for the coil box for now. The plan is to run my switches in a stock coil box and gauges in the dash.

I looked through my parts bin and came up with enough pieces to put this 7" windshield together. Looks kinda cool but I also have stock one that came with the body. Maybe chop 2" out of the top and bottom halves so I can run it either with the top half up or down. i also have a pair od '25 posts that would look good chopped 6" or 7", kinda like the "Isky" T.

More later,
Ron

I don't really know how to resond to this. Plans are to build it as a mid-'30s hot rod. If this dosen't fit here I will stop posting it's progress. This T WILL NOT be a rat rod rather a trip back in time to the roots of Henry's fabulous "Tin Lizzie" as rod fodder.

I'll wait for a show of hands on the future of this car here before continuing.

Hey
Ron

No offense meant. The Fad comment was lounge in cheek. Any T is OK with me. The dude thing was also TIC

Sorry about the pout yesterday. Guess I was a bit thin skinned. Thanks for the support. The end.

It happens!

I got a bit miffed when someone on another site called mine a ratrod....though "miffed" does not convey the feeling quite as well.

Keep up with the pics, give me motive to keep looking for a steel body.

Found this '29 chassis on Craig's list last week. Friday we went to pick it up. I think I found a good one. Motor looks to have been well maintained. Oil looks fresh with no metal in it. distributor has fresh points in it and plugs look almost new. Brakes work and tires hold air. All for $575. Gonna leave it all together and get it running first, then start cuttin and dicing.

The front axel assembly is from a '41 Ford. Nice bonus with the chassis. Found a buyer for the spindles ($185), backing plates and drums ($150) today. So I have $240 in the chassis. :hooray:

I'm starting a project that is probably going to be a little more hot-roddy, but the basics are the same, so please keep the pics and comments coming. Next T is going to be steel.
