Sold the reed 40 p?u a few weeks ago, and was just lookin around and saw this.Always wanted a Track T, but being 6'2" it would never happen. Saw this 1 and it's streched in the door and tub area plenty. Had to have it. On it's way from Vegas now

Sweet Ride Enjoy !!! roid
I like the way the axles are stretched out. Nice stance, I could see you in that.
Super clean and a big welcome to the T Family Don but, I know that once the itch has been satisfied, that lovely looking T will be off to a new home. Tell us please the engine transmission combination going to that beautiful quick change ? You still got the '40 Panel delivery haven't you ?
Shadow Rods body? If so, that's one of the few where someone got the proportions right.
Still have the 40 Sedan Delivery and the "Old Crow " roadster Mark.Quote:

Yep Ray, it's on a 1 off 108" chassis with 1/4 eliptec springs on all 4 corners. Gotta be a slot car ride like the old 32 RPU was. You remember this 1 don't ya ?Quote:

I didn't ask about "Old Crow 2" as we know how special that car is and I for one would be stunned and amazed if it ever got sold.
Sure do, watched that one travel many a mile. I think everyone that came into contact with it liked it. Have fun with your new one.Quote:

That looks super cool and for once I like the shortened '32 grille on a non '32 car. That is so well done it is perfect.
Thanx MarkQuote:

Good eye Mark. Actually the lower shock mount is off the bottom of the hairpin/radius rodQuote:

Thanks Don as I do like to study how others build cars and all the different ways of suspending them and especially as you had mentioned how well it handled and sat glued to the road.
