I sent Ron my idea on a AutoCAD drawing for my front shock mounts and he cut it out with his plasma and got them to me really quick. I will give it my best guess if you sketch up an idea for a part and give him dimensions he should be able to make it for you.. Ron is a good guy to deal with.

Front axle assembly is a Pete and Jake's if that helps.

Boy, talking about hijacking a build thread.... Now it's a for sale thread....

Now that would be a sight "A Moose in Tennessee"

I guess it depends on how you approach your title. This will be looking at a street modified and Hobbyist title as 26T, so 1926 regulations will apply. I do have to cover the exhaust with a mesh to prevent anyone from getting burned. This is per the state law. The trooper never brought up...

Trailered the 26T out to the entry to Lake Superior on the western tip in Superior WI

I found the light at the end of the tunnel and it says "EXIT"! Here are some finished photos for now, I plan on finding a good place for some shots later and a short video. But for now I can say the major items and the main look is done. Thanks for watching the progress of my build of the UP...

Carpet installed, call the interior - DUN!! Now for the once over to double check the bolts and any missing bare metal with the primer and the satin black.

Call the seats - Dun, picked up the floor covering tonight. The engine unveiled. Hmm, light at the end of the tunnel I see. Thanks to the snow storm on the way, I hope to get it out Sunday or Monday for some good pictures. I like to call it my Hot Rat Rod and it built the way I like it...

More progress. Headers have high temp paint now. The extensions also but are left off for interior access. Interior work is down to the seat cushions and floor covering.

The not so grand sneek preview. I snuck it outside today so I could clean the shop and have some space to start the panels and seats.

Sound material (Gutter sealer) applied. The doors got filled with foam. Might not be a rusty Rat but I built it the way I like it. Testing the seat arrangement Change it time. Happens sometimes. Need to lower the bottom seats and move the back back a bit. 2" of foam for the back and...

Low and compact. Nice!!

I was looking for a woven wire mesh and will keep looking, but the mesh I ended up with is a handi panel from menards. There is too much small rocks on the roads here to not put something to protect the aluminum grille.

The frame is from Speedway. I had been watching and bidding on frames up until I needed to have it. The frame is a shortened 4 Inches. The top tube removes to install the glass by removing the pivot studs. I got the uprights that are shortened the same but mount different and did not appeal to...

More work done, seatback now installed and ran a Pvc pipe along the top edge to round the top and put the interior fabric over. aligned the rear axle, front is close. One sheet metal left for the front edge of the seat, then cut the bottom board. Time to start applying the sound deadening...

Are you looking at ground clearance? When I first put my frame on the floor with the engine on it I estimated to have a 6" with a 2" drop front perch and ended up with the oil pan on the floor with a 1" board under the front wheels. So it was change that to stock perch and shorter oil pan for 5"...

Completed the Grille guard yesterday, fixed a gas leak, modified the floor metal to accept the steering shaft and a few other odds n ends. I must of got the wrong dipstick with the transmission. I start it and let it run for a bit on jack stands then check the trans. When I add enough to get...

View from the back corner Dash and steering in place, windshield primered and installed The air cleaner is on the engine I may be having visions but I might be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. still hoping to get it out of the garage next week.

Howells has now canceled my order and refunded my money. The BBB asked if I am satisfied with the resolve. I replied I am not satisfied with the lack of communication and the lies to UPS that he gave the items to them for shipping. Enough on Howells. The project is feeling like its winding...
