You know Mike, it's almost sad when one of these builds we have all been following comes to the end. Everyone has really enjoyed looking over your shoulder during these past two years, and you have...

Well, look at you!!! :D:D Kinda hard to wipe that "first ride" smile off of your face isn't it? Mike, you did a great job and it has been fun going along with you during the build. Just a few...

Mike, I have been watching this car come together since the beginning and really really like the way it looks and the way you are doing it. Everything just looks so right, and now that you are...

Your parts look fantastic. I've never seen that shade of coating, but I like it a lot. It will contrast with the black parts very well. :) :)

Don

Yeah, I like the way you did the switches. I learned a long time ago not to put the ignition switch under the seat, otherwise you fumble for it every time you insert the key. Don did his under the...

That's surprising about the Pontiac lights being dim. Don has them on the back of his T and when we were following Dan driving it the other night, both Don and I commented how bright they are. They...

Gosh Mike, I've got Carburetor envy!!!! :) Your T is looking fantastic. Sits right and has a good overall look to it. Also like the way you have spent time making brackets and all very strong...

Some very neat stuff there Mike. I love the way you did the brake switch, simple but pretty inventive. :)

Don

Who needs money, I think eating regularly is highly overrated anyway.:rolleyes: My ex-wife and I were talking the other day and she was saying she is hesitating to buy a new condo because she wants...

Tough crowd. :p :p


Don

Thanks Dave. Like I said, even Dan didn't believe me when we were refueling until he saw it for himself. And we know it was 120 miles because we started at mile marker 243 and refueled at 122. ...

I am going to do that somewhere down the road, probably after I get my '27 back on the street. That way I'll have something to drive while I tear it apart to put the trips on.

BTW, I know this...

Mike, Bill (Gastrick) has just finished up installing a set of trips on his sbc in his '32, and he told me at Billetproof it is really working well. Said he gets better milage than the four barrel...

Mike, I poured over your pictures several times, really interesting to look at all the nice touches you are putting in it. Very smart too reinforcing that hairpin steering arm.

It was cool seeing...

Mike, I have to tell you how impressed I am with the way you are doing your car. Absolutely great stuff, and you are explaining it in a way that makes it so enjoyable to read. I look forward to...

That IS a good idea. :) :) Living here in Florida, with lots of little old lady drivers who can't see over the steering wheel, and lots of teen agers using cell phones, I should have put a 3rd...

Nice how those marine items fit our builds, huh Mike? :) When I worked in the business I would dig around on the shelves and find lots of stuff that would cross over to a hot rod...........and the...

Your tank really, really looks good. Bet you got some welding time in on that one, huh? :D Some very long welds there. You would have had trouble finding a tank that fits as well as that one...

The secret is to not use any barrier between the foam and the resin. (come on, why should I be the only one with a few failures along the way?) :eek: :p :LOL:

Don

I'll tell you Mike, I am super, super impressed with your car. Your workmanship is extremely neat and well thought out, like the way you are planning ahead for the top to have a strong mounting...

That is a smart way to do it. I remember a T that Car Craft built in the '60's as a project. They bolted a piece of angle iron up the door jam with a bent leg in it that fastened to the floor, to...

Looks like you found you a good engine there. I'm running exactly the same motor (mine came out of a boat) and I really like it. Fires right up, makes good HP, and gets 20 MPG .

Your...

Yep, sure was. Bet you've been there a few times too Pat. Is it still the cool amusement park it was?

BTW Mike, I really look forward to every update you are doing on your rod. Thanks to you,...

Trouble with the cashmere sweaters is that they would shed all over you if you got too close to your Girlfriend. Went home many a night with fuzz all over me. :D :D :D :D .


Don

Absolutely correct. I remember when a local hot rodder did exactly that to his '32 roadster...........pulled out the built flathead and put in a 265 with two fours. Everybody was drooling over those...
