I've got a complete performance T rolling chassis and a complete drivetrain, but I don't want to just put another fiberglass "T" body on it. Any suggestions for bodies that would fit on that frame without modifications to the frame. Pics would be great.
Check out Russ Nomore Street Rods. He has chopped 27 T coupe bodies that are pretty cool, although they are still fiberglass. Something different than your average t.
Check our Rod 'n Race Fibreglass. They have molds for both a C-Cab pickup and a C-Cab sedan delivery. Both should work on your chassis. www.rodnrace.com
that frame is pretty simple and basic, A Universal platform from which you can begin, You could put any thing on it really, 23-27 T, 28-31 A , Pick ups what do you want or are you just poking arount to see what there is may be something will get your attention?
The only thing restricting you is the length of the body you might want to install on that bucket chassis. T chassis are awful short from firewall to tailend.
You did say without modification then you are limited to a FG TP body if its a bolt on your looking for. Let me qualify my earlier statement, Your TP chassis is actually longer than a Model A wheel base, dependind on which TP chassis you have, it could be up to 11" longer. The "A" frame is the same no matter what body style it was under, coupe, vicky, 2d, 4d, and phaeton. The Vicky fits on the TP chassis, I chose a different route but it fits, That NEWER TP body the tangerine one has the same seating position as the vicky, I know that the 31 vicky fits on the tp chassis, and if all a frames are the same then I can tell you that anything from 31 down to 23 will fit, THIS IS NOT BOLT ON but the dimensions are extreemly close and in line. Start measuring your frame and see,
A Bantam, Fiat Topolino, T-tub, short 28-34 pick up. Hell, even a glass dirt track body like Speedway sells would work. They have funky proportions because they are all chopped down, but would make a competition style car for cheap money.
