I'm Back! And I Have A New Project.
I was a regular poster here when I was building my 32 Ford roadster. But once it was finished I kind of drifted away.
At the urging of Don (IToldYouSo) I have updated my registration and I'll be posting again from time to time.
My new project is a 1926 Model T 2 door sedan.
I'm using an all aluminum Olds 215 motor out of a 61 F85 adapted to a small bell housing 700R-4 transmission.
The chassis is something I fabricated out of 2"x5" and 2"x3" rectangular tubing.
My goal is something that is both unique and clearly a traditional hot rod. With the exception of the motor and transmission, and the 46 Buick steering gear and column, all of the mechanicals will be 48 and earlier Ford.
I have attached some "teaser" pictures. You can see more at:

Body came out of a barn in Mintesota. When I got it there were remnants of the original interior. And behind the cardboard backer in the left rear corner I found a genuine rats nest made out of upholstery cotton batting. And in that spot the body was rusted through. I also had rust where the body met the subrails. But compared to others I have seen, mine was in excellent condition.

Welcome back.
I checked out all your build pics. Car looks great. Clean,well thought out fab work, too.
The 2x5 tubing gives your frame some depth. More like a duece frame.

Good to see ya back Steve. This'll be fun to watch.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
