Re: soup jobs, gowjobs, & hop-ups T picture thread
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. |

Re: soup jobs, gowjobs, & hop-ups T picture thread
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.

Re: soup jobs, gowjobs, & hop-ups T picture thread
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 |

Re: soup jobs, gowjobs, & hop-ups T picture thread
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!! Steve |

Re: soup jobs, gowjobs, & hop-ups T picture thread
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 |

Re: soup jobs, gowjobs, & hop-ups T picture thread
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. |

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.

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. |
