    My Dad has always wanted to build a T-bucket roadster, and I finally talked him into it. I am building his frame for him from and helping him with the build, and then doing his paint and body work on it. So far I have the basic frame built, and we are waiting on some suspension parts to finish the frame. It will be a gl*** body with a short bed on the back, running a 350 engine. So far it has been fun working on it together and I am looking foward to finishing it with him. Heres a link to a few pics of what we have so far. Let me know what you think.

    Coupla questions:
    What are the demensions and wall thickness of your rails?
    What will be your wheelbase?
    Amt. of rear kick-up?
    Using rear buggy spring or coil-overs?

    Thanks... and good luck with your build.

    I also built a bucket along with my dad, great experience and gave us a reason to talk daily. I have a few pics on my member page, he did a more traditional kit form, I fabbed up most of mine myself, I did buya welded bare fram to start from, but i really like how you pinched yours down in the front.
    enjoy the build!!
