Thread: Haven't quit work on the T......

Tweet

I havent posted any progress on the T in awhile. Been neglecting the poor thing what with buying and selling projects. Now with the 51 Chevy, Ive been busy putting some personal touches on it.....But I did manage to get the body channeled and installed floor supports and fabricated a floor and installed my new Lokar shifter. Also painted the inside of the body with a black POR-15 paint. Man that stuff is messy!! Here's a few pics of the progress.....

Looks good. About time you got back on this one, you were getting so close. Keep it up and keep us posted.

Funny that you should ask, Earl....I just happen to have a few!! Actually, I havent posted pics of the T in so long, it's probably a good idea to refresh your memories......




Just a mild 3 inch channel over the frame....

Love that body! Good to see you are back on it.Floor looks great. Don Jr.

Wow....it's been a long time since I posted here. But let me make it up by posting some progress pics of my T coupe. This has been the longest I have ever taken to build a project car! It just seemed that I had so many other projects in between working on this that it always was on the back burner. Well Ive been hitting it hot and heavy for the last few weeks. The biggest part was getting the body work done. I admit that I suck at it so I gave it to a local body shop (another story entirely!). I took the entire project apart and powder coated the frame and suspension parts. Here is where she is at now....

Going to paint it Shiney black too! Still have to put the tunnel ram and scoop and other eye candy on the engine. I WILL have this thing drivable before spring!!

Gotta admit when I saw that 2009 tag line on the most recent post I thought, "What the heck?? Who's digging up things from THAT far back!!" Glad to see that you're still into the project, and back into it making progress! Looking forward to watching this one grow during the winter. Thanks for posting the update!!

Being a big T fan I'm glad to be able to pick up the story also and thanks for the photos. One question though and I realize I'm far too late for any changes, also this is just me thinking out loud and you have every right to tell me to mind my own business, but, why did you build the frame so long, to me it is out of proportion and should of been several inches shorter. Maybe with using those zoomies doesn't help either and maybe side pipes would help bring it all together a bit better. Just my humble opinion here.

Hey, Thanks for making it back here! And for sharing the build with pics. Like Rspears I saw the last posting date and figured someone dragged out another old thread...

But it was great to see this coming back to life. Keep it up!

The T is looking real good so good luck getting it all done and on the road by Spring. I would think that looking as good as it does now should give you plenty of motivation to finish it.
