This is my T Coupe project page.  At the moment there is nothing here except a few pictures of the project to date and maybe some notes. I am in the process of completely rebuilding the site and I want to get the main body going before I fancy up the pages.

Take a look and enjoy what you see..

This is the beginning. The is where my frame builder resides this is located in northern central Montana.

The day the steel for the frame arrives at the builders

Raw steel pieces ready to be cut and shaped

All the parts of the frame have been cut, beveled and ready to jig up and weld.

Welding complete Now it's on the stands getting cleaned up and ground smooth.

Completed view of the rear

Completed front. I purposely had the builder just tack a cross member on the front to hold frame alignment. I will install the front Model A cross member when the frame gets to me.

Day 1 first step. In the great green pacific northwest no job is worth starting until ya get that morning Espresso. As I don't drink alcohol anymore I gotta have a vice!

Ahhhh Nectar of the Gods...

Frame being measured, measured, measured. Actually it is being intensely watched.

This is my Brother Phill. AKA Delta411

Just my brother Phill again.  this is a good shot of him.

He is all real serious lookin. He is trying to show me the frame was too short.

I am trying to get a hand on relative measurements and doing a lot of what if scenarios

 

I always look down when I know there is a flash nearby!  I am NOT taking a Nap.  The 23 T setting in stock form behind me

This is kinda what it is going to look like with the Big N Little's  Notice the sun in the background! It got to 70 that day 3-6-07

These 285s fill up this wheel well nicely. I don't think I will need to keep the fender this hi above the tire

The front wheels are going to look good and if my math is correct will fit perfectly.    

Four Bar mounts

A quick 30 second drawing.

This is a temporary drawing of the rear 4 bar brackets.. Bracket shown in black. Remember this is a crude 30 second version made in Paint.
