Another build thread? Yep, my track-style T

Thanks, Don. You know the old saying - necessity is the mother of invention. (In my case, sometimes, necessity is a mother!) Anyway, I have to fabricate most of my stuff; I build such odd one-off things that nobody makes parts for them! It's like my coupe - who makes a kit to install a Jeep axle on Nissan torsion bars under a homemade Deuce frame? Besides, FABRICATION is FUN!! (I have to keep telling myself that.)

Perley! Good to hear from you; it's been a while. Man, cabin fever must be fierce; 10 below isn't fit for human habitation!! Yeah, I'm finally back at it on the roadster and putting this new garage to good use. Hopefully I'll stay on it now until it's done...

Jim cool solution for the hood support! Clever and simple is always the best!

I like the way that was done a lot,your rod is really coming out nice. I like it. Been some time,and I missed some stuff not being on site.

A tought;The thing I think you may wish to redo at some point in time after having fun a little ,is steering coming out of cowl*,the bump steer is real bad as is,just jump up and down on your front frame some how near axle and look at your steering wheel turning a lot as your doing that. You can drive as is fine, but pick smooth roads,it's only going to act up on big bumps. A bumps input is what helps start wobbely if every thing is not just right. This was fine on a dirt track were we're sawing like hell on the steering wheel racing,but not so good on the street,I know it a look thing,like those guy the use them ribbed tractor tires on the front cus they some how think it looks good to them but they don't brake or steer good on street at all, except in ruff dirt racing.
*If you do deside on fixing that later and don't have the design worked out already[knowing you, you do],send me a email and I'll send a layout for much less bump.
