I've seen some rough tall Ts that ended up as street rods. Some of the guys on that HAMB might play with T cars but as was mentioned many of them stick with the traditional flathead V8s, early Olds Rocket V8s, early Chevy stuff, and an occasional Cadillac V8 or Buick nail head from the era. The original frame is certainly too weak for consideration. The body would be the largest part you could use. Most of the rest should go to the restorer guys if your going that route.

The old Ts are an old slow mountain goat of a car. They will go damn near anywhere due to the control capability of the planetary type transmission and the tall skinny wheels & tires. They only have around 20 to 22 horse power stock but they are a lot of fun to tool around town in. A person couldn't get a much simpler car that will last forever if take care of properly. Beating an old coupe around with a small block V8 will rattle the thing apart eventually.

There are a few folks that hot rod the old 4-bangers and get some fair speed out of them but most are runabouts or roadsters with extra transmissions to get the speed up.
