Re: Winter build project T body
OLD T GUY i just started to cover the roof. Will post photos soon. I was going to
just build the body. But I got into my parts and think I will build the whole car. It will be a 1919. To make it correct I have to change the firewall to wood. And find some front and rear fenders. I think I have the rest. Thanks. |

Re: Winter build project T body
Covering the roof. Mark the center on both car and covering. Line up the marks front and rear.Best to do this on a hot day in the sun. Then start tacking.
When done tacking trim up cover. And add hideim. I did mine alone but it is alot easier with a little help. |

Re: Winter build project T body
Started stripping frame. I goofed on this one about ten years ago. I put primer sealer on. And run out of time. And could not paint it for two days .Wrong! I should have done sum sanding. Now I have to strip the paint off. And sand and prime it. Learn the hard way.

Re: Winter build project T body
I don't go on this t site very often but I spotted this winter build thread and thought I would check it. Gotta say chevy vet, you work is very impressive. Your wood working abilities and patience are outstanding. Cant wait to see the final build. Keep it up. Mark.

Re: Winter build project T body
Very nice work, I'll tell you, you gave me a hellofa idea. Being wooden boat
minded, what if, I remove my body replace with something like yours, I will enclose it like a truck for getting hay in the winter, then in the summer put the touring body back on. Now I got two cars right. I'll just stick a farm plate on it. My kid can do that. Yes I got the room the shops 50 x 40. sam |

Re: Winter build project T body
I made a few changers to my spoke press. I welded a crank ratchet into a crank pulley.Then welded a 5/8" washer in the crank ratchet to center it. Then I welded a 2"x1 3/4"
exhaust pipe to a hub and welded a 5/8 washer inside the end of the 1 3/4" pipe and a 2" washer over top of that. Added a bearing and washers and my nut. |

Re: Winter build project T body
I finished the wheels today. I have always done them in black in the pass. So I thought with all the clear wood. They would look good clear. I also done a few front hubs to put away for later.
