SEAT SCORE

My son Drew came across four really interesting bar stools  this weekend while thrifting in our new hometown of Denver. Knowing I'd been scouting for seats for my Econoline and my Tall T, he called me at work and described the bar stools to me. I planned to go see them ASAP.

The next morning was Saturday, so I made a bee line to the thrift store. Imagine my delight when I came upon the seats you see here. Better yet, they had been marked down an additional 50% since when Drew saw them. I bought all four. It's great having a son who find gems like this for me and the price was more than fair. It was ridiculous. Thanks, Drew.

COOL INTERIOR FABRIC

Wouldn't this make a badass headliner and door panel material inside a custom Tall T?

ANOTHER T IS MAKING THE ROUNDS

Look what popped up at this year's Hunnert Car Pile-Up. A Tall T. I dunno about the no front brakes part but I like the slightly broke-back look. That Hemi looks pretty potent to me. Anyhow, enjoy the pics. You'll find more shots from said event on the HAMB. 

Note the tiny grill shell with Moon tank.

Louvers on the trunk lid and a radiator beneath. 

Hemi with a 6-pack. Purdy.

HEAT AND AIR IN A TALL T COUPE?

The longer it takes, the more time the plan has to solidify. As winter approaches here in Denver, I'm realizing that an all-weather build would be a really neat idea. Not for driving in snow or rain mind you, but in comfort no matter what the temperature. So I'm reminded that one of the big differences between my '29 Model A roadster and my T Coupe is the opportunity to build it for all-weather car. A car with air conditioning and heat. Something well insulated and built solidly. Perhaps even equipped with a semi-quiet exhaust system and a decent stereo system for the sake of duscussion.

Imagine a car like this with AC and heat. Comfy. 

Building an all-weather car definitely influences the build from the get-go. Insulating the doors, the roof, even the floors will be key. Blocking heat from the firewall and of course, plumbing for AC and heat vents is important. Not to mention thinking through how to run an AC condenser in an open engine compartment.
These are all the issues that must be planned, thought through and worked out well before the build begins in earnest.
