Check out the faux Hemi.

Plain and simple, just how I like 'em.

In case you're wondering why my T is not in any of the pictures it is because it was rear ended and I did not get the repairs done in time for the meet. But if you check out the last picture you'll see my '37 Chevy in the background. It's great to have a back up vehicle.

I believe that is all of the T's except one that I kept missing while at the Tampa NSRA meet.

WHAT THE HECK..... When??
 
So sorry to hear that Jim. Hope you are ok.

No problem. I didn't get hurt and the car sustained some minor damage to the turtle deck that my son, the fiberglass guy, was able to repair. I shot it this morning and hope to have it scuffed and buffed this weekend.

Hi Jim,

I'm sorry to hear about your accident and hope all mends well.

Thanks for the great pictures.

I'm continually interested in the different approaches rodders take to produce their cars and your pix give all some new ideas.

For some reason, I find myself unable to contain my thoughts and feel compelled to comment on the Hemi heads with the SBC exhaust arrangement.

OK, I'll say it..... I don't like the Hemi valve covers on the SBC engine. The concept seems silly and the execution flawed. There, I said it. I may regret doing so, but life goes on.

This is a beautiful car and trailer. I like the "mini turtle deck". Is that something the builder did or an available item?
 
Jim beautiful pictures, glad everything is ok. I still have a pic of your car for the desktop pic on my computer and it gets a lot of comments (all good)
 
Thanks for the pics. I'm glad you aren't hurt. That # 27 would look so much better without the store bought tank. Something custom fabricated in an oval shape. That T with the big block is the way I think a bucket should look.
 
That would have been a really cool little roadster if he would have used a real hemi or maybe a Caddy or better yet, a flat head.

That's one clean T-Bucket.

I would agree with you Larry about the engine but it does have me puzzled as to what sort of motor is under the covers and more importantly,why would one bother??? I like the large old air cleaner on top,what is that from please? Everything else on that car is just so right especially the wheel choice and the colors, very very nice,just needs a flatty.
 
Whiplash, the engine that is under those fake Hemi heads is a small block Chevy and the air cleaner is a Caddy.

Glad you are OK and the T is getting fixed.
 
Rear ended. Thats nasty stuff.
Happy to here you and the baby are OK (and your passenger if you had one)
