Body-to-frame attachment
How is your T-bucket body attached to your frame? I used the well nuts that are supplied by Speedway, but I know some don't like this method. -
multi carb setups
That setup would be killer in the looks department. Tuning them is another story. You must be a very patient sort! :oops:- Spanky

Hey, JSB . . . I hope you understand we are not being critical of your son's hotrod, just trying to explore what you have and maybe offer useful suggestions. How did this thing run when your son test drove it? Buick nailheads provide a lot of torque and should propel that little T-bucket rather...- Spanky

I think this situation would benefit from an electric water pump and electric engine cooling fan. I wonder how effective the belt-driven water pump is, given the minimal contact arc of the belts on the pulleys. There has to be a lot of slippage.- Spanky

Welcome to our family! That's a cool setup. I don't recall ever seeing one just like it. I can't see any way to "tension the belts" either. Maybe someone who has seen a similar setup can chime in.

That one in the picture is not mine. I put it there to show what the old coil spring setups looked like. Here's a couple of pics of my coil-over rear suspension . . .- Spanky

Quick solution to the leg-burn-on-exhaust problem: remove the long extensions and replace with shorty turnouts with baffles. That's my setup and it's not too loud unless I mash on the gas! :rolleyes:- Spanky

Summer breeze . . .
My body is a stock 23 T from Spirit Cars. I channeled it 5" to get the low-down look I wanted.- Spanky

Nice 27 roadster! I don't consider 27s as " t-buckets" but they certainly qualify as model-T hotrods. Good score!- Spanky

Mykk's BMW V8 T-bucket, version 1.5:
Mykk, mine is 14" and though an 11" or 12" might look cooler, the 14" keeps the bugs outa my face!- Spanky
