Another build thread? Yep, my track-style T

[J. Robinson]

Ha! Steve, you must have been typing your reply at the same time I was doing mine (during lunch at school). Nope, no new pics. I really haven't done anything that makes any difference in appearance. What little time I have spent on it has been rebuilding the brakes (shoes, wheel cylinders, etc.), nothing picture-worthy there.

While I've been piddling with the little stuff, though, I keep eyeing the interior space and the seat frame I made. The more I look at it, the more I think I want to do it differently. I originally bought a pair of tractor bucket seats for it, but it turned out they wouldn't work the way I wanted them to. They couldn't be modified correctly, so I built the seat frame. Now I'm considering trashing that idea and using Speedway Motors aluminum bomber seats (if they'll fit). I think they would fit the track roadster image better. Tell me what you think, folks.

Jim, sorry to hear about your Brother in Law passing away. Don't sweat it, there is life after Billetproof. Now you can slow down and enjoy the build and take it to Turkey Run. That is the goal we are now shooting for with Dans too.

You've made great progress in such a short amount of time.

Well I'm glad to see you are going to Billetproof anyway Jim. We can all get together there again and shoot the breeze......and it'll be way easier to find Don

I'm still worried about making it myself but I have at least test fired the hemi and everything seems alright. If you want to hear it, check out the link to youtube for a short video that my brother made.

You may find this to be shocking, but I'm a big advocate of bomber style seats . Seriously, they would look good in your car but those seats you made were so nicely done that I would hate to see you tear them out.

Gastric that hemi sounds like it's ready to eat some pavement! Congrats.

You probably want to check ebay. Speedy Bill, as he often does, is now having the seats he sells made in China, having used the ones he used to have built locally as a pattern. The guy that used to make them for him is now selling direct on ebay for less $.
