Thread: 26 T Tudor Build

Tweet

What it was when I got it, and what it is today-

Mine came with the same hinge pins (nails). LOL I guess they must be a standard item!

Looks good! You came a long ways with it.

I just got a title for my '27 Tudor, I went to the dmv here in Tn, and told them I needed a title for a '27 Tudor Sedan I have, she asked if it was drivable, I showed a picture of it and said it's only the empty body, and that I wanted a title before I rebuild it, she filed out a couple papers and $43.00 later she gave me new plates & tabs, told me I would get one in the mail. 6 weeks later I got the new title & the serial # to put on the door jam! No inspection needed! They told me when my truck plates are up, to bring the tabs back and they will transfer them to i my truck so they don't go to waste! I said Cool!
So now I can put the body on the new chassis I built for it!

I wish it was that easy down here..There would be twice as many cars being built,or probably even more...

Yeah, I'm sorry about the size of the photos, I guess I am going to have to resize them to the size of a matchbox, to get them to work on here.
I thought I had the size down pat, as others one I posted that were that size came out just right on the forum... but not these... I dunno.

Painted the radiator, couldn't stand the aluminum silver, got the hood on, got the regular YOM tags for the 1926 plates, had to take it for s cruise down the coast, up the hill, and into the redwoods...HOPEFULLY this photo won't end up being a super humungous as the last 2...

Looks great! Love that flat roof! Looks cool unchopped!

Awesome scenery. Where is that ocean shot taken?

Don jr.

That photo was taken about 2 miles south of the town I live in... right before you get into the old growth redwoods... about 20-25 miles south on Hiway 101, below the Oregon border

The first shot, with the unpainted radiator, and no hood, was taken about 500 feet from my house...

so, will this finally bring you up for Grafitti?

If I'm not working, and the windows are in, maybe.....

same question, new year

Maybe, Brian, If the state decides to give the school district some $$ (that belongs to them, but the state took it during the AH-nold administration) then I have a good chance at still having a job.... if the District DOESN'T get it back, I may come up... and ask for a bedrooom to stay in.
I met up with some folks that just moved here, from the St Louis area, they had lived here before, and couldn't wait to get out of MO and get back here, they have opened a paint and body shop called www.northcoastkustoms.com
Anyway, I showed Johnny and Shaun hartman the Model T, and told them what I wanted done, and Johnny said the ONLY way he would paint the car, was to find out what was under all the paint.... and so it began....it will be a "shiny primer' sort of gray, with red pin striping (to match the powdercoated Tru-Spoke wheels) around the belt line, a little on the old cowl gas filler door, and some on the back panel...

Dave, Looking good.

I thought you only had your cars painted in high school auto shop classes?

LOL

John, I will admit to being a cheap a$$ son of a gun, but the high school here doesn't have a decent paint and body facility...
Hey, I was watching some coverage of the March Meet a few weeks ago, and I saw Lawless, and this light blue '60 euro ragtop... both haulin' BUTT... I was in the chat room when Mike made a pass, he surprised a few folks in there, and he and Troy got some serious respect...

Here's a few more... the dash has been painted, the underside of the hood, next is the door jams, and then the outside color.As I think I mentioned previously, it's going to be like a shiny primer, gray, with red pin stripes to match the old Tru-Spoke wheels.
