Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

I finally got rid of those two girls so I could take some pictures of my T. I thought they would NEVER leave.

(actually, they were very nice to accomodate me and let me snap them with the car.....thanks Ladies.)

I'm here inside in three layers, freezing! Don, who's the cute blond in green bikini? Is that your son fishing in the background? I miss the summer fun and heat. Got to get the truck done, for those photo ops!

Yeah Dave, it sure did an old man's heart good. Where were girls like that when I was their age???

I have no idea who they are. They were tossing a frisbie around and I walked up and asked the guy if he would be offended if I borrowed his girl for a couple of shots. Neither of them had any objections, so we got the pictures I wanted. That's what is nice about getting old.................you can get away with this kind of stuff!!

Don

Well, time to take the roadster back to the shop and help Dan work on his car.

Don all of the photos were great. I think the lighting and angles worked out great!

P.S. Don what size(amp) alternator are you running in your 460? Trying to decide this in prep for wiring coming up. Thanks.

Dan didn't need me at the shop, so I got off easy today.

I haven't gotten as far as the alternator for the 460 Steve, it is just sitting on an engine stand right now. I have a 105 on the T, Dan loaned me his until his car is running. I'll just replace it for him when that happens.

Pictures didn't turn out too bad for an amateur, huh? I had trouble seeing the car in the viewfinder because it was so bright today, so some of them are not centered very well. Allen Funt I am not.

I thought the beach scenes would cheer up guys in other parts of the country. Spring isn't too far away.

Don

I figured the 100 amp, will give me plenty of juice for most things, that will be drawing power.
The photos really look great! The lighting is nice over the whole car! The model posing in the bikini is almost in the same pose as the old photo on the salt flats!
Bikinis and cars are enough to make most men perk up!
Where's Dan at on his build?
Steve.

Don,
Not only does your car make my heart race - you had to take a shot of the beaches of SW Florida. I grew in Sarasota and lived on Pine Island for about 10 months building the water plant there, and man it was a high of 64 today and the wind blowing.

I love the car and the picture must be Sanibel if I remember riight?

Don, I'm confused I don't know if I want the car still or just send the girls..........LOL. The car still looks great, even on the beach.

Yeah Dixiedog, it is Sanibel. One of my favorite places in SW Florida. Every Monday my ex-GF and I would take our bikes and ride the 20+ mile bike path, then eat at one of the nice restaurants out there. Place is like paradise.

St. Augustine where you are isn't too shabby either. We went there one time and it is like being back in the 16th Century in the old section. The fort is neat, as are the quaint old restaurants that haven't changed in centuries. BTW, welcome to the forum.

Steve, Dan is finishing up his rear spring mount today. I came home to grab a bite to eat because he is doing one man things right now. As soon as the springs are mounted we can put it back up and set the engine, tranny, body and bed back on to see how the stance is. I'm heading back there in an hour or so and will shoot some pictures today.

Don

Don---"Hate" is a strong word----but---this is what it was like at my house today.

Nice pics! I love your T and these pics really show off its stance. Having seen it up close in person, I can tell everyone here that the car is just as gorgeous in real life as it is in the pics.

Thank you Jim. It was fun, but she tracked SAND into my car!!!! (I didn't say ONE word, even when she propped her foot up onto the painted dashboard )

Brian, come on, didn't that cheer you up a little? Summer is coming. I hear it is a Tuesday in July in Canada. But you guys do have good beer.

Don

Wow! The pics came out great. Really beautiful! The car looks good too!

You need to sell posters.

About the sand on the dash - some things are just worth it!
