    I don't know its z'd 12 inches or something...... and then it is pie cut at the firewall so the front is kicked up about three inches..... I spent alot of time staring at it before I made the frame...... I put everything where I wanted it and the made the frame to fit....

    I'll post pics of the bare frame when I pull the body off....


    Again with the chop, I'm not sure how much it is chopped..... I started with ten inches... but thought it was too much so I think I cut it at 8, but then it wasn't enough so I cut it another inch..... So I guess it is 9 inches....

    Thanks guys..... I like this one...

    Yep it will be for sale....... It will pay for Bleedster chrome...

    Chrome, Chrome, Chrome..........

    I really would like to sell it to someone as a project and finish it........


    I'm just a sucker chasing my dream. The only way I know how is to build stuff and sell it, to build the next one...... its an endless cycle.

    I don't know if I'll still have it for Detroit....... we'll see.

    Its gonna be COLD though.... real cold. Bring a sweater.


    It is chopped around nine inches..


    I might paint it yellow and go for "Bannana Cream"
     
  21. hahahaha! i think the "banana cream" should be a sedan.....

    green for "key lime pie"?
    brown for "pecan pie"?
    orange for "pumpkin pie"?

    you could make a whole series and have hot wheels turn them into cars and give you lots of money!

    man your T is awesome, its very similar to one I am "building/watching rust in the rain". Its perfect in my opinion, I love it! I dont post here real often, but I saw T-Rantula and my jaw dropped..
     
  27. your right on with the suicide front ends bit...im not much of a suicide front end fan either...especially the ones that are 45 feet from the cowl to rad. im in the middle of doing a 27 t and thats my one main concern. keeping the front end as tight as possible. i really like the stance of your car. looks great!

    Are there any pics of the cherry pie T that everyone is talkin about. I don't think i've seen it. Unless your talkin about the T the choppers built on TLC. That was a sweet ride.

    That's one of three t's I have ever liked. Good work Bob, some of us know what a valiant effort it takes to make one of those look that cool!
