    Been building bikes for a while so I decided since I had a new Speedway T Bucket body sitting in the garage, it was time to switch gears and build a bucket

    Plan is to use the body I have, 28' - 29' Model A grill, SBC, Ford 8" rear end on a homebuilt 2x3 frame

    Haven't posted an update due to slow progress. Picked up a 25' Buick grill and started the chop.. 8" down and 2" narrow in the bottom. Need to get a pic with the bottom back on. Also picked up a 66' Buick 300, 16x4 steelies, Firestone dirt tracks, and a shortened bed

    You have a great helper:) I really like the grille. Dig it when someone uses different parts from the norm. Gives it a unique yet cool character:cool:

    Both headlight mounts are made just need to be blended. Also cut the bed down a few more inches and contoured it to fit the body and am starting the Ford 8" axle brackets
