[@62_C10]

TIDY... nice, nice. Pedals are going to be fun to watch.

[@johnkranz4004]

Very Nice work Travis

[@timpark163]

First American I've seen use a tig with a finger trigger and a grinder with the guard still on. Keep up the good work!

[@RACGARAGE]

Haha foot pedals are cool and all but finger switch is convenient

[@briansaier4929]

Travis I think making the Model T right hand drive would make it stand out from all the others

[@g.o.b.2558]

Heck yeah, looking good 👍

[@psnaith1]

excellent !

[@mysteriousstranger239]

The display case and stuff are very cool 👍👍👍👍

[@bobhalstead1879]

I love the homemade trans bellhousing.git her done

[@georgeezzell4474]

That looks great. I love when things are built to last. Great job as usual.

[@michaelguinn5736]

Afternoon Travis, you & your partner are doing a fine job, one thing your viewers may not understand you mentioned that you are working with scraps(steel), steel has gotten way out of hand as far as cost, I don't throw nothing away. Y'all be safe! Keep up the good work. Maybe when I get the Model A completed, may do a road trip...ya never know..

[@BoxcarsGarage]

I like that tube support...clever

[@upinmyglider]

Awesome workmanship (as usual).

[@johnjackett3138]

Great job....I like Your style...a true craftsman

[@Motorhead-y3]

My Tube Bender is Screwed perm to Driveway because I love Curved Tube Mounts. Well Done 👍🇺🇸

[@mysteriousstranger239]

Those brackets look nice they are going to beef up things nicely

[@1fknhpycmpr355]

Nice work! Looks everything is a tight fit there.

[@IowaMercMan]

Hey Travis nice work. If the owner likes that lower tube, make a bracket on it for the headlight dimmer. 😊

[@fueladdictiongarage7048]

👍🏻🍺

[@ChoppersModelworks]

That is a nice and clean fabrication for the mount. Only thing i would suggest in a constructive manner is to think if you can add a diagonal tube brace on the passenger side to help with any slight flex side to side of the hoop under heavier steering loads. Just something to keep the hoop from being able to flex side to side as it isn't obvious now but if you can block the output arm against the frame or even use a chain this might give you any indication where things may flex under load and then where any bracing may be needed. And yes, i am damn jealous of the owner of this cool little T coupe!

[@Ecosse57]

that showcase is sweet! watch out for those grinders on the wall. i don't really like cowl-steer, usually looks dumb on anything other than a track racer and people get the geometry wrong, but i like seeing your fab work.

[@brianknight4595]

Travis that great but the bender and the end of a tube count easy put a hole in the glass ! It’s very volatile being in a small workshop & using VALUABLE SPACE

[@dennishedrick5108]

It would be cool to mount both superchargers on the duel carb little tunnel ram and see if it worked on a flatty

[@dennishedrick5108]

A simple spacer to raise the back one for clearance linkage might be a thing but it would be cool

[@waynespyker5731]

On my '25 TT truck I Zee the frame 4 1/2" under to toe board with a matching angle. The stiffing brace is what is needed, no bolting master cylinders to a flexing firewall. The cowl steering openers up the floor space, these cars have very limited if the pedal space is split by a steering column.

[@donrippy-ee5ek]

I think you're rear shock should be mounted with a 15° pitch. Not straight-up-and-down.

[@michaelgillespie1206]

Did the steering wheel come off of a boat?

[@francisrizzo1529]

Nice job on the super beefy mounting hoop for that cowl steering box. I kept thinking that the customer will request a longer setup once the actual seat is in the car, tough to mock up without a seat. Does that setup need a support where it goes through the dash?

[@marcellebaudry5786]

bravo cool

[@kevingilpin6707]

Hey man love your videos, I got a question, I'm building a 31 Tudor and putting it on a 32 frame, my question is I have been seeing alot of videos that the cars have their firewalls cut into making the factory fuel tanks useless, is this a requirement to run a v8 without modifying the frame or can I put a flatty v8 in it and retain the factory fuel tank, trying to keep the car as factory as possible in some aspects because I really need to retain the back seat and I don't like the rear exposed fuel tanks, thanks for any help! Appreciate it!

[@timmmckenny1806]

I’m not Travis but plenty of people have put a flathead v8 in a model A and retained the stock gas tank even with a stock chassis that’s a few inches shorter.

[@johnnyrocket7922]

Wow that's a short steering column compared to like an ididit

[@marshallcrank]

Any sparks will burn that glass fast

[@garyrhoades1455]

Where’s the ‘36 3 Window……Let’s get started on some videos….!

[@timothyallanson6479]

What year is the steering box ? What did it come of ? Thanks nice job with the t

[@BoxcarsGarage]

I had the same Q...believe 60s dodge pulled it up. Lares 18831 Dodge/Plymouth Case Aluminum Manual Steering Box...via Speedway....pretty sure

[@francisrizzo1529]

Looks like an aluminum A-body box, so '63-'76 Dart/Valiant/Duster.

[@MikeMiller-fc2cc]

Mine is from a 71 Plymouth Duster.

[@BoxcarsGarage]

What is that steering box out of?

[@francisrizzo1529]

Looks like an aluminum A-body box, so '63-'76 Dart/Valiant/Duster.

[@johnkranz4004]

Very Nice work Travis
