Sounds like you built a good one. Nice accomplishment! Not very many hot rods, IMO, pro or home built are as usable.

I love to see a great paint job, killer engine or interior just as much as...

Been there, done that!

Got caught in a hail storm in our T in Mountain Home, Arkansas once. That was definitely no fun. Took shelter under a closed up gas station canopy as soon as I saw it. I...

I might just take you up on that. When all this corona virus mess is over, my wife and I plan to make some long road trips in the Healey, one to your general area.

That's pretty cool.

I don't think there is an open drive-in anywhere near me. Used to be a bunch. One of these days I have to find one that I can take my wife to. She's never been to one.

Nice work and I know the storage area will come in handy. My old Goldwing motorcycle had way more storage than my T.

Sounds like you're having fun!

Be careful of even a tiny amount water on the road and even dust or dirt. Your T appears to be a little longer than most, but they will swap ends with you in a...

Congrats on getting through the process! Now get out there and enjoy all your hard work.

The process wasn't much different for me in Louisiana. Lots of stupid hoops to jump through, but in the end, all they really wanted was the money. I gave the lady a stack of receipts, she totaled...

Congratulations on the first drive! I still remember my first drive in the T. You'll have plenty of good cruising time this year.

I mounted all my electrics under the cowl, but my dash was removable with 5 10-24 screws. The only thing in the dash were the gauges and they were on a separate wiring harness with a Molex plug. ...

You are the spawn of the devil!!!!!!:LOL: What a terrible thing to do to a nice Chevy engine!:eek:

I was a at an event in my 46 and a guy came up admiring it. He was really into it until I told...

I know a fellow that had a really nice 32 coupe with a traditional straight front axle. He built it with help from his dad who was an experienced old time hot rodder, so it was right.

He...

They were VW size radials on steel wheels. Brakes were very heavy 39 Lincoln drums. All this weight created two very powerful gyroscopes. The axle itself was a 39-40 Ford I-beam and was pretty...

One suggestion on tires. My T was very sensitive to front tire balance. If they got out of balance, the front would get a strange bounce at certain speeds. I also learned to jack the front up if it...

I get itchy just thinking about the glass work I've got to do sometime in the near future! Good to see some updates.

I couldn't either. Everyone had good things to say about them. Hard to find anything on the internet that nobody talks bad about.

Yeah, the Healey is getting a GPS speedo from Speedhut. Just a short wire run under the dash to the antenna. No calibration needed.

+1 on the electronic speedo's. I put my first one in my 46 coupe over 20 years ago (it's still in it). I'm running a TH350 in that car with a speed sensor that screws in place of the cable. Much...

I had belts in mine and was glad I had them on a couple of occasions. I read of a guy that had a minor fender bender in a bucket and nearly went over the windshield. I liked them on curvy roads,...

I would suggest that you fiberglass the entire surface. This will waterproof the wood. Over time it will absorb moisture from the air and could swell.

I don't recall what spindles you're using, but if they have a bolt on steering arm, you could make a shorter arm. This would increase steering effort, but also increase travel at the wheel for a...

Yep, looks good. Keep up the good work!:cool:

Been there, done that. Many times, unfortunately. The worst was a hail storm in Arkansas! Luckily, I have a very understanding wife. The rest of the weekend, folks at the car show referred to us...

One thing to keep in mind is that you definitely don't want the radiator to sit higher than the top of the cowl. This will be very noticeable at a glance when the car is viewed from the side. Your...

As a former bucket owner, I'm subscribing to this one. Good luck on the build.
