    Sectioned '32 Grill insert?

    Working on the Sectioned/Shortened '32 grill: Using a 2nd aftermarket steel '32 grill, cutting it in half to weld the lower apron section to the original painted top section. The original grill was already an inexpensive steel grill off ebay, previously cut up, sectioned 4.5" and welded...

    Sectioned '32 Grill insert?

    Hello, has anyone here cut up and tacked back together the aftermarket '32 grill inserts? I've previously section an aftermarket '32 grill shell, and purchased a pre-made insert. This time I'd like to go even shorter which would mean modifying the insert too. Any hints, tips or tricks to...

    Gratuitous Pics of my Bucket

    It works just fine, I actually had to angle them down just a bit to lower the light horizon. I'm happy with it

    Project Bucket #2, a collection of parts.

    Perhaps altitude would be on my side, that 9.1:1 DCR get's knocked down to 8:1 at my altitude. Then run some kick butt octane booster for out of town stints?

    Project Bucket #2, a collection of parts.

    Hey Guys, You may know me from my Supercharged BMW V8 Tbucket build. I've been slowly collecting parts that will eventually shape up to a 2nd Bucket build. This project will be a slow burner as finances, time, life and resources allow. True to form I am putting the horse before the cart...

    The T in my head, thoughts?

    I call the full length headers and mufflers my "Quiet Pipes" and the Zoomies the "Loud Pipes" Although they truly are just loud pipes and louder pipes. I felt running the zoomies on the street may be the tipping point for a police officer to pull me over, it makes the drive a bit more...

    The T in my head, thoughts?

    Had an opportunity to get out of my town for a weekend, loaded up the bucket and took it with me. Cruised it to some of my favorite spots around Tempe & Scottsdale. Really had a killer weekend. I'm slowly convincing myself to add a shorty T truck bed around the fuel tank.

    Belt tensioner success. I can't say the belt slip is 100% gone, but by the behavior of the around town driving it has really woke up. At 85% throttle at 4300rpm I logged roughly 6psi of boost from the SC. I haven't pushed it enough yet to see where max psi is at yet. Even not in boost...

    Coming up on a month since it's been on the road, taking it out every opportunity. Had some chilly mornings in the bucket, reaching below 20°F. Been working diligently on getting the computer system and fuel injection dialed in. I noticed on datalogs from the EFI that the supercharger isn't...

    Took me a minute to realize you were talking about California, lol.

    The T in my head, thoughts?

    I was very surprised and extremely thankful for how smoothly the entire process went down. It'll be a strange feeling having historic vehicle plates on my mail order Tbucket kit with a 90's euro drivetrain and fuel injection, lol. But I'll take it, it gives me another story to tell.

    A big day for me and my project today, this morning was the inspection at the Arizona MVD (DMV) to get assigned a VIN #, and thus it's registration. Previously I was out on the road with 3 day passes using the frames serial #. Because I had Manufacturer Specified Origin (MSO) certificates from...

    Now keep in mind these are temporary just find the depth that seems to be the best compromise of sounds. Once I'm set on a baffle depth I'll drill the holes in the pipes for the DK TTI's

    I'm really glad to hear that as that was my plan for the O2 too

    The T in my head, thoughts?

    Thank you, it's not fully tuned yet so there is still some more oomph to be had. I should probably lay off the throttle until I can finish tuning, but I can't help myself. Thank you, I agree. The look is way better, it is way louder for sure. Yes, I've been experimenting with washer...

    The video Spanky was referring too: The wideband O2 sensor is not working well in the current config. I need to come up with a plan B. I'm considering running the engine, seeing which tube gets hottest with a thermo gun and mounting the O2 bung in that cylinders tube so as the EFI is reading...

    The T in my head, thoughts?

    Addressed the majority of the things that just didn't jive on the test drives. Relocated and redesigned the shifter. Not only does the tall shifter help clear my legs it also puts my hand above the steering wheel to clear that too. Speaking of steering wheel, I had to go drastically smaller...
