It looks like they are out for some serious fun. It looks like a '22 to me. Why they lowered the headlights I don't understand. Also the 3 louvers seem odd. The running board brackets have been removed, probably to avoid light brush. :lol:
Thanks for posting that. It brings back memories.

When did I do that?

Looks like they mounted the headlights directly to the frame by drilling a hole in the frame rail instead of cutting off a fender iron like many do today.

Looks they customized theT to their own satisfaction. An early day variation from what we would consideration normal for a speedster! Still goes on today from George Barris to the present.

Speedster or fishing car. Who cares? I'd take it. I think that one of the few things more fun that driving a T Model might be driving a piece of one.
