Excited for my First Build

[Team Bogus]

Hello. Thanks for the add.
My son and I are building our first T bucket. We’ve got the 2”x4” 11 gauge, a 454ci, a’31 rad shell, some black 15” steelies, lots of plans and that’s it right now.
I’m on a search for a body, and I believe I’ve found a steel 4 door “that would need to be cut down”. Not sure if that’s a good way to go.

Welcome from St Louis! Lots of good info on this site. Re your steel body, if your metalworking skills will allow for that, I think it's a great way to go. As I recall, Norm Grabowski (Kookie-T) started with a similar body type, and his turned out OK.
