Lunajammer Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Pat, this is really inspirational. I think this is better use of the left over T parts than if you'd just built the model T outright. Original, well executed and classy.
Speedfreak Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Not boring at all. Beautiful work Pat. Ya, what he said.
Pro Wrench Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 This is probably my most favorite build to watch. What puzzles me is that I don't know why.
rv1963 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 I think it's a very nice build I have been watching.
Ace-Garageguy Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Really nice, and just getting better and better. Now I know what to do with a least a couple of those old Ts I've had lying around, other than making old airport and depot hacks out of them.
charlie8575 Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 I must say, I do like what I'm seeing. Charlie Larkin
cdan delivery Posted November 22, 2013 Author Posted November 22, 2013 A little more done. This seems to be the slowest project ever. I got the radius rods and brackets done, the brake actuators and linkage and what's better for cooling than a real soldered copper radiator? Well at least a real copper tank top cover that's brushed with flux and solder - I won't tell anyone it's not all copper if you don't.....shhhhh!
cdan delivery Posted December 1, 2013 Author Posted December 1, 2013 Well, I finally have it finished........I think. There may be some small touches that appear and bug me, but it feels like it is done. After my last post I made a crankcase breather ( which I had forgotten to do), a hood out of aluminum roof flashing (which was a project by itself ) and a belt with buckle to hold it on at speed and a pushbar. Then I put it together..........slowly.......it was more difficult than I had ever anticipated and was an uphill slog the whole way, but it came together. I almost threw in the towel a couple of times and stuffed it back in a box I have to admit. I tried more and more difficult things than I ever have before - which I blame all of you for (lol). Anyway, I appreciate and welcome any and all comments, observations and suggestions you may have. Here's the proof: Thanks for watching! Now it is headed for Under Glass....................
charlie8575 Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Pat, I love it! Please bring that MassCar's show on March 16 in Taunton. That level of workmanship will be very well-received. Charlie Larkin
cdan delivery Posted December 4, 2013 Author Posted December 4, 2013 Thanks everyone who watched and commented. Charlie, I will try to get there.........it's a long haul for me, but I do want people to see it.
charlie8575 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Thanks everyone who watched and commented. Charlie, I will try to get there.........it's a long haul for me, but I do want people to see it. I'm about halfway there, if you want to meet up- happy to drive. I remember a couple of times at my FSC days that I had to go to Taunton after classes for DeMolay stuff. I was able to do it in just over an hour, so it's not too bad. Charlie Larkin
