Will do rubicon. I also belong to another forum. So......I am experienced. I've been a member of that forum for about 8 years.

I'm interested in how you're going to extend and widen that roof to fit that bigboy body. I have the same body and would like to do the same thing.

hey brian...go to spirit cars website & click on to their tops in the parts list. go down the tops list until you locate their hardtop. Click on the video that is offered for the hardtop .a man will tell you how to modify the hard top to fit your t bucket. Hope this helps.

Speedway also offered a hardtop which was later discontinued. I found mine at spirit cars they are based in Arizona.

I think their hardtop was awesome. Too bad they stopped selling it.

COOTER ; I believe the spirit cars hardtop will fit a 20" windshield. They cost about $599.00 + shipping from Arizona. You'll have to widen it about 6" to fit your big boy body.

I am using a 10 bolt rear end from a 2000 camaro.

Spirit is in Flippin Ar. Not Arazona.

OOPS !! MY MISTOOK !! Thanks old round fart for setting me straight.

This is where i'm building my T. I am trying to install the rear end. Everything is mocked up until I get what I want. It will be welded after I am satisfied. I used zip ties to temporarily hold everything.

 

[DonnyRay]

I purchased the rear shock mounts from Ron Pope. My QA1 shocks use a 7/16" shock mount bolt. Ron's are 5/8". I'm returning them tomorrow. I've already notified Ron regarding my predicament. Ron's a pretty good man ; he has done a lot for me in the past.

I've started setting up the rear end. I zip tied things in place. When I get it positioned right , i'll weld everything.
