Well, this weekend was a pretty productive one for the T. Saturday I blew it apart and prepped all of the parts that still needed welding on the frame so that my Son could do it for me Sunday. I still had not welded on the brake pedal assembly, the master cylinder mount, the steering box mount, and the two threaded plates that hold my front shock mounts. I ground all of the mating surfaces clean and had them ready for him to just come in and do the actual welding.
Sunday (today) we got these final parts all welded on for the last time, and now I can order my radiator and battery so I can make the mounts for these two items. I am going to go with an aluminum radiator, and haven't decided from what company yet. As for the battery, I am going to try to find more info on the small ones made by Odyssey Battery Company. They are gel cells, and are super small. The one I am looking at is only about 7 inches x 3 inches wide and 7 inches high. I need to know if it will have enough power for a sbc with no power accessories, so I will give them a call tomorrow.
Here is a picture of the T after I blew it apart, ready to be welded.
It was SWMBO's little dog. .
