sorry 'puter seemed to be in a bad mood last night
Well, the 1926 Model T Coupe is home in my shop. I hope I haven’t bitten of more than I can chew. I have never messed with a model T before. This is my second hot rod. The first was a fiberglass 27 roadster nothing like this real steel car. The car is complete except for the engine, the hood and the radiator shell. The body is in pretty good shape. The only rust through on the body is on the left rear corner. The fenders are good except where they meet the running boards. The floorboards are pretty bad. The sub rails seem to be pretty good. I plan to leave this full fendered, probably a mild chop. I guess I will be building a new frame. I built the glass 27 T roadster in 6 months. I think this one will take a lot longer. My son (the sprint car racer) thinks I should put all silver crown car running gear under it. Live axle quickchange with birdcages in the rear and front axle with 6 pin hubs and big disc brakes. That would really be wild but would present a lot of engineering problems. Anyway I am a long way from having to decide yet. I am going to do all the bodywork first. I am just really excited and wanted to share. Thanks for listening.
