Another build thread? Yep, my track-style T

[J. Robinson]

Thank you, Don. Yeah, the bumper and radius rods are styled after the early Kurtis midgets & sprint cars. I am eventually going to make side nerfs and a rear bumper for it, too. I think I need to put something in the bumper, but not sure yet if it will be my initial or something else...

The Turkey Run is sneaking up on us almost too quickly. I will drive my coupe unless I need my truck to haul something home, but my son is really wanting to have his sedan running. He has reached that point in his first build where a lot of first-timers get frustrated and quit. There is a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel, but it seems like an unending list of little details that keep getting in the way of putting everything together. We've all been there...

I know that "valley" that we all get into all too well. I'm down to stupid stuff like brake and fuel lines, and I built the whole car faster than I am wrapping up these little details. Just pulling the starter and making up cables the other day was enough that I needed a nap after. My big project for yesterday and today is making up my exhaust baffles.

Keep after your Son, it sounds like he has a real good shot at making it. Don and I figure once Dan actually sees our two rods running it will kick him in the butt and he will quit reengineering his '29 and want to get it on the road. Right now it is in a million pieces getting a total revamp and it has never even seen the street.
