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.
Thanks for posting that. It brings back memories.

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.
