    Project Update!!!

     



    Well, not too sure how many have followed my model T hot rod build but I am still at it... There has not been too much progress as life had found a way to distract me from the project Things have seemed to settle down a bit and I have managed to wire most of the car and am currently fabricating the clutch and brake pedal assembly that will end up hidden behind the dash. As soon as I get access to my camera there will be some update pics and hopefully a steady stream of progress pics as I once again attempt to build a hot rod

    Happy St. Patty's day!!!
    Me: I don't know how to build a hot rod.
    Old Hot Rodder: You ever build a model car?
    Me:Yeah...
    Old Hot Rodder: Well instead of using glue you weld.

    Ya I've been distracted BIG time...... finishing my basement... told the wife I'd have it done by the first of May... Last year, be this year I'll have most of it done. Last week she told me that I had to paint the bathroom; just finished it a couple of hours ago.
    Next project is to build a Storm Shelter in my boys basement. FEMA has Free plans: 2x4 studs, two sheets of 3/4 inch plywood and 14 guage over the top. Went out into his backyard and found 8 4x10 sheets of 1/16 inch plate... I'll weld them together and use it instead of the 14 guage. Will also be cutting a 2 inch slot in the floor and put T shaped anchors 16 inch on center.
    AND then maybe I can get back to the coupe. I found some perfect doors FREE but can't get the guy off his duff to go get them.

    I was following it and wondered what had happened. Please do the updates, anxious to see where you are currently. I love these T's.

    Wow Tom sounds like you have been doing everything but work on your coupe It certainly happens lol... Hopefully you can get that guy to get you those doors, good ones aren't cheap

    Well Don thanks for the interest, I'll try to keep this thread interesting with some fresh pics...

    Here are the brake and clutch pedal assembly, didn't feel like spending the $200 plus for swing pedals so here is my interpretation... Not the prettiest looking contraption but it is getting there. Have to finish fabbing the bellcrank but it is getting there.
    Without bellcrank

    Bellcrank fabbed

    Bellcrank installed



    Thanks, Thomas
