Another build thread? Yep, my track-style T

[J. Robinson]

One other thing I did recently was add a reverse scoop to the hood to make it look more finished. The gaping hole with the carb sticking up through it was just ugly. Also, back when roadsters were being raced on the dirt tracks of America, it was not uncommon for them to have some sort of shield to protect the carb from flying dirt clods. I made a cardboard pattern, duplicated it in steel from an old door skin, welded it in place, and finished it off with some body filler and primer.
