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. http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.ph...114479868615839&pid=112625&id=114479868615839
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.
101 wheelbase used 11ga 2x3 with a tapper to 2 inches in the front 2 inch od tube for the front crossmember going with coil overs out back with a 8.8 ford rearend
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!!
Sorry about that, I posted this using the shop computer, and had the pics saved on my home pc. Here you go.
