some weekend progress

Assembled rear axle, and mocked up car and pushed out in the daylight for the first time! What a good feeling!




Looking good, keep up the work and you’ll be driving down the road before you know it.

Happy motoring,

Warren

Love the gas tank! Keep up the good work. :smiley:

The tank is homemade. I had extra aluminum sheet and decided that I wanted a tank that was 10-11 gallons but would be lower than a stock tank. The body will be built around it. It will be very much like an 1909 runabout body but lower and the seat will be moved back. I have the long flat top speedster fenders. That hood is the longer torpedo hood. The rear fenders I have are 1913 style depot hack fenders. Not really a speedster I guess, but a slightly lower and hopefully longer appearing brass model t runabout. It has reversed eye springs front and rear.

A real accomplishment! That car will mean a lot to you, because you designed and BUILT it!

Should I ever get my truck to a point I am truly satisfied with it,
I am tempted to build up an underslung type speedster. Photos
like these from your project are inspiring.
