We are all ok, thank You House and garage took a nice hit but we fared far better than many neighbors. 35 people killed up the road in Rainsville.

Haven't checked in on this one in awhile. Sorry to hear of your problems and glad you came out ok. Good to see you back at it too.

Curious - whats happening with the Mustang?

For the first time in the 20 years I have owned the Mustang she is grounded Parked in the new garage suffering from major storm damage. I thought I would just forget about it until I have The Ghost on the road.

Looking for opinions on my Rigid Front Axle.
I KNOW in theory any car should have front suspension but every T Bucket I have ever ridden in may as well be rigid as the spring hardly does anything at all except be there for looks.
Thoughts?

Don't do it man. You got to have some sort of suspension over that front axle. To me, that's a lot of weight putting stress on your frame, that to me is just not a good idea.

You can design a smooth riding suspension with some ingenuity and a little trial and error. Most times the springs are just too stiff for the light weight. A rough uncomfortable ride takes too much enjoyment out of driving.

Was given a Model A radiator shell yesterday. May indeed prefer this to the Terraplane grille! Also picked up a Pitman Arm for the A steering box and got my new tie rod ends in.

Salvaged the radiator from my storm damaged mustang

The Ghost continues! here she is today

 

[Dirtyrat]

Looking good, love the grille!

 

[sandmountainslim]

Got the body channelled like I wanted and believe I will go with the "A" grille shell

 

[bob w]

Here's my vote for the "A" shell. Looking good, slim.

 

[Dirtyrat]

What are your plans for the Terraplane grille shell if you are not using it ?

 

[sandmountainslim]

Here's my vote for the "A" shell. Looking good, slim.

Thanks I took a poll of my friends and all chose the A shell over the Terraplane.

 

[sandmountainslim]

Garage art I would sell it normally but I got it from a friend who passed away back in November so I am gonna keep if in his memory.

Finally cranked The Ghost for the first time yesterday. Not the most impressive video u will ever see but major progress on THIS project
