Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Tweet

Aw, come and get me coppers.........say hello to my little friend, and all that jazz.

Jack, time to do another project, or at least enjoy the coupe (if the DMV ever stops messing with you )


Well, Don's T is coming along pretty well. Tonight he and I finished up all the interior wooding and it is now flipped upside down so I can glass the bottom of the floor to the body. Then we only have to cut the holes for the gauges and it can go to the body shop.

The wooding isn't the neatest we have ever done, but it follows Total Performances instructions, so at least the interior kit he bought should slip right in once it is painted. We also did some more work on his engine tonight. It is gonna be a sweet little 302 Ford..........30 over TRW forged flattops, X303 roller cam and comp cam roller rockers, crank crossdrilled, early steel heads with a lot of work done like big ss Chevy valves, guide plates, etc. He topped it off with a polished 2 x 4 Edelbrock setup, and has a TCI race prepped tranny behind it.

The engine was built to go into his drag Capri (which he just sold) so it should move the little T pretty well. I owned this engine originally, and he and I have traded it back and forth a few times. Wish I still had it for my '27.

Here are some pictures I took tonight.
