soup jobs, gowjobs, & hop-ups T picture thread

[stevebolt 6]

Lets show some respect to the hot rods before they were hot rods, Gabby Garrison, "Multy" Aldrich, Isky, and so on, this is my first thread after switching over from the HAMB, I will be starting a thread of my 23 T banger soup job soon. Heres some to start off with.

I can't wait to see more pics! I'll be forced to do mine in gowjob fashion until I'm able to buy all the missing parts.

I'm sure this wasn't done back in the day, but if anyone has a pic of a gowjob T coupe without fenders and such, I'd love to see it. A T coupe without the top chopped that is. Maybe I haven't seen a tall coupe in gowjob fashion for a reason.

Very cool! Always loved the Aldrich car.

Speaking as a HAMB veteran, shouldn't these types of threads be over there? In the Banger group? Never saw a ton of this stuff in the years I lurked the old Barn................just asking, correct me if I am wrong.

From what I can see from posts about T's on the banger thread there does not seem to be much interest. I have posted a lot of T info there and usually with no response which tells me they really are not that interested. From what I can see they a pretty focused on A's and B's.

If you are at all interested check out my T racing thread here on the T forum.

Cool, just dont want to ruffle the feathers of the T folks that were here before us. Cool, dig old Banger info

[s1b]

Some feathers will and do get ruffled, but if you keep it related. It will be accepted.
Let's face it, these car were being modified in some cases as soon as they left the factory. Historically, it is just as significant to modify a T during the teens to thirties as the T its self!
Anyway just keep it T related

Oh by the way, check out T-HEADS thread on T racing! Its truly great. Information overload!!

[stevebolt 6]

Totally agree, I am not here to rustle any feathers. But it does seem that these types of cars have no place, too stock for the hot rod croud and too "hopped up" for most of the stock enthusiast. I think thats why I like them so much, they represent the cradle of what was to become the "hot rod" but were just a bunch of model T owners who wanted to be just a little differant. There is not really a big collection of pictures of these cars on the web anywhere, maybe because there were not many built. The closest I have found is the "Traditional T Bucket thread on the HAMB, thats why I started this thread here. In my opinion a stock T with some engine work done can be a gowjob.

Oh and by the way T-HEAD, your racing thread is outstanding!!

Thanks guys!!

Hello All,

I'm a long time member of the HAMB and had a hard time finding anything T related (stock or modified) there. I hope the long time Barn members don't mind these types of threads.

I have a number of T's (among other cars) and currently I'm only restoring one back to original. It's just too darn expensive to pursue.

If anyone has pictures of "hot" coupes, I'd love to see them.

Thanks,

Bob

Thanks for starting this thread! I think there is a need for it, FULL BODIED cars NOT Speedsters. Can someone give some details on this car? Looks like it has an added drivers door and front wheel brakes.

[Jalopy Tin]

One of the best looking T ever, my opinon
You have a great car, Dirtyest Devil.

T-HEAD, the only real reason I go to the HAMB anymore is to read your thread. To many "how low can you go hot rods and rat rods". Very few care seem to about the history.

T MAN, I agree. These cars seem to be the "Missing Link". Don't have any real home.

[t-head]

I figured you guy's might like a before photo. It does have a set of demountable rim wires and a nice set of Gypsy curtains.

By all means, keep it going ! These are about the coolest looking cars on the planet !
If anyone doesn't like them, they don't have to look.

I'm so glad someone posted MrModelT's roadster, especially this picture. It is definatly one of the best looking cars on the road.

Absolutely!

I want to do my coupe in a very similar fashion. I just don't know if the coupe would look good like that. It's a bit tall.
