Dang, Mike, I almost missed this thread...I've always had a soft spot for T roadsters (probably because my first ride in a hotrod was in a T). In the late 70's when street rodding really exploded there were dozens of T-buckets at every rod run I attended. Most of them were carbon copies of each other; fat rear tires, skinny fronts, high rear ends, tall tops, radical rake, vertical steering columns. They seemed to lose popularity in the 80's and 90's, but what a resurgence lately. Some of those old "tall T's" have come out of mothballs and more are being built, but I really love it when someone comes up with a new twist on an old theme. I really like the proportions of your car, the different front suspension, and the shortened '32 grille shell.
I really enjoy these threads because we, no matter how many cars we've built, can still learn and get ideas from each other. In particular, I am watching your progress on the windshield mounts. Since I began my roadster I have been pondering the windshield because I am yet to see any available brackets that fit my imagined outcome.Seeing your handmade brackets has opened a whole world of possibilities and I thank you for that bit of inspiration.
Keep the pictures coming...
