    I saw an all CCR T-bucket on the Discovery Channel's show "Counting Cars" last night. Apparently the show's host Count's Kustoms did the paint and fabric on the interior and top for the gentleman who had purchased the CCR kit and was showing off the finished product. I thought it looked really nice, very clean lines.

    PovtinGuy, is your frame made with the same 2"x3"x3/16" Rect. tubing that's speced for their standard T?

    PovtinGuy, I really like the stance of your car. It looks great with the motor parallel to the frame and body.

    No, we built the frame from scratch with 2x4 1/8" tubing. Then it starts to narrow from the 4-bar mounts until it is 2x3 at the front crossmember.

    Yeah, I wanted to streamline the car, no jagged edges. After a while I raised the motor and tranny a couple inches to quit banging pans and it looks better too. The pic above is before the raise.
