Thread: 27 T tudor Hot Rod build

Nice going so far. Are you going to use a rear torque arm? I don't think the A rear radius rods will be up to V8 power. I go with the vette air cleaner. They repop the caddy air cleaner so that tells me they're overdone now.

Your repairs and welds look good. Keep up the nice work.

I'll let you know when I start the '26/7 roadster. May start a thread, but as you know keeping thread up takes time. Still need to get some turtle deck parts. Just missed out on some at Model T Haven in Ks. They have a lot of T parts used/new.

Hey Earl,

Thanks for the comments.
I hadnt planned on adding torque arms but I always wondered if the model A radius rods would be strong enough. Kind of nice that I ended up using the chevelle rearend because I could just use the mounts that are on the center section already for torque arms. I hope that they would not bind in that location.

At one time I really wanted to use the caddy air cleaner but like you said they are over played. It seems like it would take away from the car than add anything at this point. I had that thing even before they started reproducing them; Ill just stash it away for some other day.

Good luck keeping up with a thread if you make one If you don't start a thread send some pics my way of your build. Those are cool little cars to make into a rod.
If you dont mind me asking what are your plans/build style youre shooting for?
