Total Performance Catalog

[JetMech727]

Been looking for this for a year. Found it in the bottom drawer of my toolbox the other day. How it ended up there ill never know. Can't find a publish date but do know it's after 95 because it has an article in it about the "Tangerine "T". Always loved the look and stance of the top car on the back cover. I sure miss Mikey & TP.

I don't usually like fenders on a TBucket, but the first pics sure looks good!!!

Cool find. I accumulate catalogs and save them forever, then in a occasional cleaning rampage toss the lot out. I would have to build a library to keep them in. I still can't part with my Chilton's, mitchels, motor, hemmings, etc collection. Some day setting the dwell angle might be valuable data! Lol

Agreed! Never have built any thing with them, but lately it's been on my mind. Especially since my freaking town can't seem to fix water leaks. They complain about needing more tax money to squander. They can KMA!!!

This is growing on me fast.

The wife should like that one above with the running boards. Would make it easy to get into.

I think the first one looked better with the really wide rear fenders narrow fronts.

True.

I like them both but lean a little more towards the full fender car w/boards. Completely different look. Honestly can't recall seeing one myself. Maybe even throw a hood on it. No sides just the top.

Kinda like this, Jet? This all steel car belongs to a guy in my St Louis Chapter/NTBA.

By the time you get the body, P/u box ,lid fenders and running boards from speedway , you'd have $2000 tied up , man stuff has gotten expensive !!

Not a fender fan but I like that car!

Yes Spanky. And it's all steel? Not many of those left. Very cool?

I agree John, but I find my tastes are changing with my age. Plus I'm tired of getting a face full of water while trying to dodge puddles to keep the car clean. Speedway has a couple of different rear fender widths available and the picture in my mind leans towards a pro street look.

Plus the fact that Speedway is now collecting Oklahoma sales tax. That started 1/1/19. All I would need is the fender kit if I could adapt it to my 4-bar set up. It was designed around a hairpin set up so not sure what modifications would be required. Need to look the drawing over.

More pictures. I think I would like to round the rear fenders more. Fronts as well possibly?

 

[Neshkoro]

The fenders and running boards make the car look massive even though it’s still a t bucket under all that stuff.
Just sayin’

 

[JetMech727]

Agreed. Definitely widens it up a bit Neshkoro. And getting it up high enough to get under it could present a problem I suppose.

That's what a floor jack and tall jack stands are for as well as a low slung creeper, or better yet a lift.

Have all that minus the lift. But what you forgot to mention and I do not have is a flat belly. I believe that would be my biggest hurdle.

 

[lincolnuT]

Jet that is where the Lift helps a bunch...…...

 

[EX JUNK]

That car must have air or hydraulics for suspension because the fenders are sitting right on the tires.

Raising the front would help , raising the rear might make it worse ..

 

[Neshkoro]

It needs to be raised all the way around. It looks like a low rider that has been lowered. Low. Really low. You have to know when you see one of those low riders lowered, you're not going to drive it anywhere.
