    I was discussing T-Buckets via PM with @Snicklefritz65 and wrote this. Figured I'd share it here with everyone.

    Well, there it is. The start of the whole thing, pretty much.
    And the difference between a jaunty rake and a flat style.
    Norm's has more rake and the engine is angled different than the body/frame.
    Ivo's is all in the same plane, with just rubber rake.
    Both drivetrains appear aligned, engine crank, trans mainshaft and diff pinion. Just if that is level with the frame or not.

    Carl Casper still owns every car he ever built including this one. Of course it is ok to post as it was built in 65 IMG_4960.jpeg

    Funny how that pic just screams 'movie set', not photo shoot, accessory ad or real life.

    All 4 of them have the column coming up thru the floor. Make me feel a bit better about keeping mine tht way and trying to continue to move things back to HAMB era on it. I won't be searching for a matching numbers 327 and pay 500 a corner for period correct rubber, but knock the really obvious later stuff down some.
