Found this forum a few weeks ago and really like what I find here. Have owned and enjoyed a 1923 Ford T-bucket replica for the past 2 years..... always wanted to build one from scratch, but to build what I like gets a bit pricey. But, I took a nice one in trade (on a Corvette) that is very close to what I like and even moreso now that I've tinkered with it for the past couple years. Don't know that these cars are ever actually finished which is why I call my car "TinkerToy". I owned a Chrysler Prowler for several years, and this T-bucket is even more fun!
 
some pictures of TinkerToy..... 383 Chevy, TH350, Ford 9" diff.

More pictures showing details.... took one of the dashboard, too, but didn't download.... oh well, next time.
I really like the chrome and polished billet, etc.... and pinstripes work well, too. I like the nostalgic, old skool look a lot, too.
