Body snatched

I ordered my '23 T body today from Spirit....one step closer to my goal of driving a t bucket someday. :)


Congrats . .

Now we get to wait patiently, as if that's remotely possible.

Did you get the regular or one of the deluxe or extended ones?

I ordered a Spirit '27 superkit about 2 weeks ago, and was told 15 to 20 weeks was the lead time . . just in time for Santa to bring it

I went with the regular body....I'm hoping with a tilt steering column and the racing seats, my long legs won't be a problem......too much. ( I like your avatar) :roflmao:

Good luck! I have many hours invested into adapting a caddi tilt/telescoping column and a minivan seat, as well as building pedals, linkage, and a custom shifter to try to make my ‘23 standard somewhat doable... it’s manual shift also and there isn’t much room for me in between the controls. I would have stretched the frame and body but I would have had to basically redo the entire rear suspension as everything is tied to the transmission cross member. If I were to build another with what I now know, it woukd be longer and maybe wider. I do love the short body, bob tail look, time will tell if I can actually enjoy it from a drivers perspective. Well, that is if I can ever get back into working on it, damned life keeps getting in the way!

15_ 20 weeks is ,in my opinion , RIDICULOUS !!!

Seeing as how I'm down here in the Caribbean, it's just as well it doesn't get here until after hurricane season any way.

I'm sure they have a lot of options that have a much less leadtime, but I did my homework, and went with what I really want so I don't have to do it again to do it right.

Sounds like my wife. However, when I completed it, she did comment that is was "cute!" Still won't ride in it, though.o_O
 
When I'm on the floor, I put the chain hook on a belt loop.....then I can pull myself up off the garage floor with the chain hoist.


Hope you don't mind if I borrow that idea . . . .

Those "I've fallen and I can't get up" guys would probably be a bit pissed with me after the third or forth call . . .
