Thanks Rick and Joe (I hope I spelled that right).
I'm sure I'll find it helpful here. This forum has lots of information and a good reputation.
I started building a T roadster pickup about 3 years ago from the frame up. No kit or nice new stuff. 2X3X3/16 tubing, a '27 cowl, a '13 rear section from a phaeton, home-fabbed doors and bed.
It isn't pretty (yet) but it should be as safe as a T can be.
IF I ever get the T running I will start on an A truck I have been gathering parts for. Now I'm mainly missing the doors and the back of the cab.
Parts here are scarcer than hen's gold wisdom teeth so I'll have to try to make them, since my budget is $0.00.
I just got the DVD that David Gardiner sells and now I'm hunting around to see about tools I can make to help the work go better. I watch him using that slapper (flipper I believe he calls it) and think.. I gotta make one of them thar thangs.
A couple of years ago I made an e-wheel and planishing hammer out of junk. And I mean junk.
The surprising thing is that they work ok. Not as well as pro-built ones but for about a 100 bucks I'm happy.
They look like junk though so you won't see a picture of them on here.
There. I'll try to keep this as the longest post I make.
Next stop... tool idea hunting.
