Mike, I'm not very strong at posting pics, if you could PM me at give me some tips, maybe I could put some of Korys T on the HAMB for all to ridicule and or masturbate to. You are "T"-riffic! Love, CheaterCarl
I will try to post some pics of my project when I get home tonight. Its a 27 Roadster with the turbo 2.3 and a t5.
no one seems to run full fendered t roadsters...maybe it's just me...i have a friend building one right now, and would like to see more full fendered..
Stand back, clowns could start jumping out at any time. This is what it looked like when I got it. I'd love to show you some pics of a killer, finished car, but all I've done to it since I got it was strip the brushed on paint off of it. Now it's split itself into two cars. The T chassis and fenders is getting an RPU body and a wooden box and will remain a functional stocker, minus all the gay, stuck on accessory shit which has long ago hit the trash can. The roadster body is going on a '29 A chassis/running gear with 29 fenders that I have, along with a set of '35 wires and hopefully a set of juice brakes and an overdrive which I still need to find.
Here's mine- Pretty much a belly button 27. Glass body on 31 chevy rails, 327, 700-r4 and 9 inch. Built on the cheap with about 95% swap meet/ junk yard parts. Tried to capture the look of the mid 60s rods, as I remember them, with the skinney whites and (not pictured) baby moons.
heres mine. I need to take some new pictures. I got the cowl steering hooked up and the gas tank mounted, and Im starting to make the floors and seat etc.. Took the heads off yesterday to get checked and hot tanked and the superdual intake bead blasted. Im gonna try and run the 8BA motor with a 39 toploader trans and juice brakes and see how that works out for now. Should hopefully be up soon! Still need brake lines, wiring, some fab work and a flathead radiator but its coming along.
No...I channeled it two inches and trimmed the front of the body to match the fender reveal in the frame. I always thought T bodies looked two shallow over a full six inches of frame rail...this leaves four inches showing and seems proportioned better...to me anyway.

here's the latest on mine. Still needs a lot of little bs to get it on the road. this summer for sure though!
Tbucket, Tbucket, Tbucket...like it or not, that's what they have been called for decades and what's wrong with that?? Years ago, some roadster clubs refused entry to any roadster prior to 1926, some drew the line at 1928. If you don't like the term Tbucket, don't build a Tbucket.
Or build them and call them something else? Some people don't like the term "rat rod" but they still build them and call them hot rods.
Here's mine. Thanks to whoever took these pics @ roundup I don't even have any pics of it since it all came together. This thread is cool, I like to see all differn't varirations of the 26-27 body. Keep them comin'
