    Yep, went back and grabbed some screen shots.
    If you squint or click once on the pics, you can see the YT****le and the time stamp.

    Yep, that was what I was trying to point out.
    "This was my little T project. I gave it to @mad_fabricators and the rest is history now."

    I had not seen this earlier mockup that Lucky did with the wide 5s, turtle deck and flathead.

    @40ragtopdown you a causing issues for me with this one. I would like to quiet mine down at some point and there has been an exhaust like that for sale a few hours away for almost a year? I need to pinch pennies and get it back up running, but I'd like to buy that system, too and it's cheaper than building. Arrgh!

    @Dave G in Gansevoort Look at the position of the bucket to the frame, engine and turtle deck. Sure looks like it's very low in comparison. Probably Z'ed frame at that point.

    It would require a complete redo on yours to even get the main frame rails that low. Then channel the body, too.

    Yes, it is Ted Brown. Very similar to his pic on cover of the August '68 copy of Rod & Custom. Obviously the same shoot.
