Another 27 Tudor

[Gasser300]

Hey all,

When I bought my project, the body and frame were separate. I had to put mate em up to bring it home. Ive been pecking away at some small things and last week I removed the motor/trans and today my buddy and I removed the body.

So here is what I am starting with. Ive bought all new calipers and rotors and stuff and have been collecting the parts to build the brake system. I plan on starting that this week.

Looks like a lil T bucket chassis. But with a MII front suspension.

That thing looks great, what are you're plans for finished product? Chop,fenders,low?

 

[Gastrick]

That T body looks really solid.

 

[Gasser300]

Hey thanks. I am not going to chop. The body is in excellent shape for its age. I will most likely do a stock style roof on the wood frame.

I have a front windshield. I also have some Model A fiberglass front fenders with running boards and some steel Model T rear fenders. I am not going to run them.

 

[rainman]

Don't blame you that looks awfully nice to be cutting up, too much.

 

[1937RR]

Thats a clean T. Dont think id have the heart to cut it up. Post more pics

 

[Gasser300]

Here are some more pics from a few weeks ago. Some I may have posted already. Thanks for the compliments.

That's a mi-T-fine looking automobile you have mister.

 

[Gasser300]

Coming from you, that says alot. Ive seen your car .

Oh and the Gasser 300 name I have is in reference to my dirt bike. Not an old killer Hot Rod.

Model T

I really like the custom hot rods but I agree that your's is to nice to cut up. That looks like a real nice body! Just an ideal but have you thought about maybe running a straight axle since your not running fenders? Or is your budget like mine and you run what you've got! Great build, can't wait to see more!

 

[Gasser300]

Im gonna stick with the MII. I plan on some tubular upper control arms.

I did add some frame horns on it last night which made a HUGE difference in the looks.

Pics in a few days.

I got my T rad on ebay from a place in Florida. Suncoast something or other? Anyway nice fit, no problems, so far.

 

[Gasser300]

Yes, Suncoast sales. Only thing is, I have never bought on 'bay and that guy wouldnt give a phone number. But they have the same ones at another vendor that does have a phone order line. SO I think thats the one I will get.

Thank you

 

[Gastrick]

The frame horns look nice.

I use Speedways TrueKool-- $140- cheepo aluminum rads on about anything I build. I usually turn them sideways to get the 19" wide aspect for an A or T shell, and put a 20 lb cap on them and a filler with a 12 pound cap in the upper rad hose.

Study the layout of the hoses if you turn them--GM and Ford are different. Heres one on my 48 Pontiac.

I did order one from some dude on 'bay.

Thanks
