Lets build a Rat Rod!! Part 1. 27 Model T Coupe Chassis fabrication

[@srose9810]

Best future for the 94 year old coupe body is what you will be building with it. Gives it a reason for sitting around for 75+ years. Thats the way I look at my 1926 Tudor body that was under a tarp for 30 years before I got it and before that sat around a farm west of Bozeman Montana for 40 or 50 years. Great video thanks.

Thanks for the support!

Thanks for reply. I don't know a whole lot about building a rod but I'm trying to learn and your channel is great. I know a little bit about doors, as I bought and sold lots of prewar Fords 25-35 years ago including 34 ford bodies and parts, but have been out of it. By the way if you locate a 33-4 5w body with no doors 4 door sedan doors will fit a 5w with minor modifications. A 3w body has its unique doors unless the 2 door sedan doors fit which I don't know and I forgot lots of other fun facts some of which are coming back. Thanks S in Montana

That’s some great information. Thank you. I’m hoping to dip in to these a little more in the future

[@srose9810]

Just a tip to help you find some doors for the coupe in case you didn't know, that the same basic doors that fit the 26-7 T coupe and Tudor also were used in the 28 and 29 Model A closed pickup cabs. I gathered this from the eBay seller whom I bought the 26 T passenger door from, also a posting on the Model T Forum's site. The Model A truck doors had a different inside panel and hinges but identical from the outside. I might have got a 27 or 28-9 A door as the inside panel is different from the Tudor drivers door and has different hinges that don't fit the hinges still on the Tudor body, but is identical to the outside of the drivers door and fits perfectly into the Tudor body. So Ford probably made 2 million of these doors for these different models. Hope the info helps in your search for your doors

[@HartRockGarage]

That is some great information regarding the doors. I appreciate that a bunch. Thank you for watching! Tell your friends!!

Build you some saw-horses and save your knees. The VIN on those frames is on the top within about a foot of the brake handle bracket if you need to know the exact year.

[@HartRockGarage]

Yes I’ve read that. I haven’t seen any numbers yet but I’ll get to it when I clean up that frame. Thanks for watching!!

[@HartRockGarage]

I also have build a junk iron work table now to help on the ole knees and back hahaha.

[@srose9810]

More like 4 million after I added the production numbers. thanks S in Montana
