The question on everyone's mind
I have my build thread posted over there. Started copying it over when Mike first talked about shutting this site down. One of the motorcycle forums I'm on, just went through something similar when our webmaster was hit and killed on his bike 2 weeks before the national rally. Luckily, his...- Mr T Bucket

My T Bucket
The axle. Still wearing the protecto plate I made to seal up the 3rd member opening: I had removed a dent, though it could have been factory as I've seen other 8" rear ends with the same weird 3rd dimple in the back end, as well as the brake line mounts. It was dead center right above the...- Mr T Bucket

My T Bucket
Thanks! I appreciate it. Wow!!! Has it been since March that I haven't done an update???? :( October 2013 After what seemed like an eternity, even though I had told our bodyshop manager and the painter that I wasn't really in any hurry, I finally got my stuff painted. I didn't want to...- Mr T Bucket

Front shock mounts
Could you use something like http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Shackle-Plate-with-Shock-Mount-Hole,35384.html and mount the shock in front of the rear shackle plate/on top of the spring/eye bolt? That might move the shock forward out of the way of the tie rod. Have to measure the swing of the tie...- Mr T Bucket

Which engine would you pick and why?
I would probably go with the verticle valve cover thing. Nailhead? Yeah, nailhead. Some time back, like 15 years ago or so, I was at a swap meet and this: .....was there for sale. Thought it really, really cool looking. Guy was wanting somewhere around $10,000 for it, which was...- Mr T Bucket

Sandblasted Rear End
Mine was just the housing, no third member. But I packed the axle tube opening and third member opening with old socks as full and tight as I could get it. I then made a plexiglass plate for each opending and RTV'd each one and then bolted them on. I used the old axle bearing retainers on the...- Mr T Bucket

engine documentation
Every guy/gal on here should find out the laws in their own state regarding what is required. As far as Kansas is concerned, yes, they want their tax money. But they also want to know where that engine or other assembly came from. If it came out of a vehicle, then your name will need to be on...- Mr T Bucket

Brake Line Rant
I have the Mastercool kit. When the rear brake lines rusted out on my Town Car, I decided that for what I would spend to have someone else do it, I could have the mac-daddy of flaring tools, and do it myself. After fighting the usual tool from the parts houses for years, I'll never curse a...- Mr T Bucket

has anyone seen this shock mount before?
Mike, it was good meeting you in person at the T Nats last night. I'm planning on the same/similar setup. Need to get my masters made, so George can get the actual pieces cut. I too, was concerned about laying the shocks down. I contacted the people at QA1 if I recall, or whoever made...- Mr T Bucket
