There is a member of the NTBA that posts under the name BTG, he has a 27 that he built. I don't know how to contact him directly but they have a business locally, if you go to prokoteindy.com and click on photo gallery you will see his cars buildup. I would contact him through the contact link... -

Hey Thomas
It's been a while since I've seen you on the board, how are things progressing on your car? I saw in one of your other posts that you are going to paint the frame, what kind of paint will you use? I hope that you are still enjoying yourself, please keep us updated. BobJ -

New guy from St. Louis.
Welcome to the forum Lukester, looks like you have things moving right along. Recently I saw a T that had the classic Indian blanket interior but the guy had actually upholstered a nice padded seat frame with the material, it really added a nice classic look to his car, he had also covered the...- bobj

Hello all !!!
Welcome Hello Jamie: Mike has a lot of very good information in his post, but I would like to add a few things. If you buy a car that someone else has built you don't know how that car has been used or abused. I looked at one that was for sale a couple of years ago and it looked good at a...- bobj

Safety Wire Yes Or No ??
I agree with Mike, I've ridden motorcycles for years including early Harleys and British bikes that were subject to a lot of vibration and safety wire when properly done will give you much more security, plus it will impress other streetrodders and fabricators that you took that extra step to...- bobj

Chrome grill shell
Like Mike said there was a post about the shells on the NTBA website a short while back. Apparently California Metal Stamping that made the shells sold out and the new owner does not want to make the shells any more because of low demand compared to other parts. If you have any local swap meets...- bobj

23-t Photos from Louisville
Hi Mike: Total was at Louisville with their King T kit and also a complete Turnkey car that they were selling for I believe the high 20's. I really didn't spend much time around their display because I am not a fan of their bodies, I am going to go with a Spirit or CCR body instead because I... -

Body choice?
Hi Nailbomb: Everthing that I have read about his bodies has been very positive. The design of the modified's is definitely a little different, but I was thinking about them and looking at the site last night, unfortunately they did not have a display at Louisville. A friend of mine at work... -

23-t Photos from Louisville
Hi Everyone: I have uploaded a few photos of some Buckets that I found at the Streetrod Nationals in Louisville yesterday. Thousands of rods outside of the display buildings, but not very many t-buckets. There were so many rods outside that looking for the T's was like looking for a needle in a... -

Some guy in California built my T Bucket!
Yeah those long radius rods give the CCR design away every time. I have looked at their kits for a long time, their bodies are supposed to be the strongest bodies around, strong enough that they don't require wood reinforcement The problem is I have read a lot of posts on the NTBA website about... -

Some guy in California built my T Bucket!
That really is a very beautiful car, did you find the photos on line someplace? I really enjoy looking at all the different variations, lots of great ideas out there. I like the rear tire sizes on this one, the tires aren't too wide but wide enough to look good. I thought about a CCR chassis and... -

350 engine and transmission
Thanks for the information guys, Nailbomb I will definitely check out the engine code, He might have just assumed it was a 350 because it has a V-8 in it. Thanks: Bob- bobj

The Time is Near
HI Thomas: I hope that you are having a great time building your car, I believe that when you think young you stay young much longer, so plan on having thousands of good rides ahead for the two of you. I think that both of you will truly enjoy your car when it is completed. I know that it's...
