    Hi
    thought you may like to have a look at my long term project. 350 350 on a custom chassis. Most of this T has been hand made. Hope you enjoy

    making the fuel tank as we speak. There is a thread on the Tbucketeers about it.
    Interior will be grey leather and hard form.
    Thanks

    That is going to be a riot to drive. Any shot's of the back? I'd like to see how the rear is hung. Also some shots of that trick front suspension you have going. EFI?

    I'd love to some pics of when you built that rear suspension. What are the outside axle supports from and did you fab onto the pumkin? How are the lower control arms made? I am guessing you used tubes then you skinned them? Cool Stuff man. You like Old Peculiar?

    Fad T that T is tits,nice to look at and I bet fun to play with! Rod & Custom had back in the 80s a bucket T like yours on the cover coming at ya.I think it was the best cover shot I ever saw. Don't get offended but I think I would shorten the windshield a bit.That is a lot of flat glass pushing wind at speed.One I had (a 27 T roadster)snapped the post at speed with a Nebraska head wind coming at me.Nice job,you should be proud!

    Just like England we drive righthand cars down here, i gotta say it, when i spot a lefthook car on our roads it looks mighty wrong to me, like someones driving from the passenger seat.

    The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the pictures was visions of Dan Woods creations. I miss the old T-bucket builds from thier heyday and Woods built some of the best.

    That rear end is from a kit. Looks like the the lower arms are just skinned.
     
  25. looks like the old Leg Show T that Dan Fink built. Those were creative times. Glad to see you're following in the tradition. Always been a fan of the weed burner exhaust. You sir, really do have mad fab skills. Excellent work.
     
  26. Ha I started to say you got the wheel on the wrong side. Than I noticed that you are on the other side of the pond.

    Good stance for sure I just love 'em down in the snout.

    Well what a great welcome to my first post.
    There is lots of pics of the car on Tbucketeers. Not sure where to start with all these questions.
    Rear is Jag based and was conceived by a guy called Eddie Wimble as was the front end. Its pure art but making it work was another question. Almost everything is one off hand made, heres a taster.. the steering
