    Windshield height

    I ran a full windshield with no supports. I did have a piece of angle iron bolted to the floor that the frame connected to the frame and fiberglass packed around cavity. Put 100,000 miles on it in the 13 years I had it.

    Fond memories

    This was drawn by my friend Tom Sapp. It is another friend of ours Mike Goodman. I met him in the early ‘70’s and remember so many adventures with him. This hobby is life changing. He still drives that car today.

    That is good news! It’s funny how you get attached to friends you have never met. Been talking to him for years but have yet to meet him! Us long wheelbase guys gotta stick together!

    What kit is this?

    I’m sure a local welder could handle it. Problem would be taking car apart to do it. You may be able to find another street rider in your area that could do it.

    What kit is this?

    Spirit extended body will need a 4” frame extension. That is no problem for a welder to do. You will need a longer driveshaft as well. You will be happy with the quality of the body and they make 2 different bed lengths.

    Brand New Member - 32 Guy Building a Metal T- Bucket ( Southern Indiana )

    I put Unisteer on mine. Haven’t got it running yet but most people that have done it like it. My first bucket used a Ford Econoline box and it came out from under the cowl.

    27 T something

    I’m with you Spanky. T buckets are supposed to be a bare minimum car. It it doesn’t make it go, stop or turn you don’t need it!

    27 T something

    Like that one too.

    Here is a source for a more period correct tire if you need one. Hayden Enterprises Specialty Dragster Wheels 800-664-6872

    Tube Problem

    Let us know how it comes out. I would recommend self etch primer and epoxy patent.

    Hub removal.

    Those look like Hallcraft wheels. It’s a little different style from mine but it probably has an o ring that makes it a very loose press fit. Try a small screwdriver at the slot between cap and the wheel. Easy to do. Then castle nut like any other spindle like Jack described.

    Tube Problem

    I would try a name brand tube. Read Not off shore brand! Pirelli Goodyear. If it’s a front tire check motorcycle shops.
