Newbie from Australia

[grazza]

Hi all. Names Graeme and I live in Queensland, Australia. Feel a bit of a fraud being on here, but found this site a few weeks ago and after a good look around signed up. Have been interested in Hot Rods all my life and am at present building a '27 Ford Roadster, that I tell you about if you want to know anything.
I have had two T Buckets in the past, well 1 bucket and 1 Track Roadster to be precise. Unfortunately sold both off before their completion for reasons beyond my control.
As well as the '27, I am gathering parts together to build a jalopy rod (hate that Rat Rod term) between times working on the '27. I have a glass '23 rear bucket tub I made from a mates mould and I am going to mould up a '26 Dodge cowl I managed to "borrow" from a fellow club member, which I'll join to the T section. Plan is for a bucket chassis Z'd and swept to get it low, beam axle, 4 bar front, cowl steering, skinny wheels and a 4 cyl engine/manual box. Jag coilovers in back and I'm going to be using a lot of the stuff that isn't getting used on the '27. Looking for low-low budget fun car with no frills.
Looking forward to getting to know you all a lot better and also to having a bit of fun on here. Just to let you guys know, I have a very warped sence of humour, so if I get on anyones wrong side make sure I meant it before you flame me, please

It sounds like you have been around the block a few times. Welcome from South Carolina. One thing about a low budget build is that you can show your ingenuity and free thinking. Nothing worse than a cookie cutter T Bucket. With the Dodge cowl it should have a great look.
Have fun, and keep us up updated.
My sense humor is also warped, and twisted sideways at times, so your in good company.

Sometime I think if you have a T Bucket that makes you a little warped.......we all like to be diffrent from the regular Hot Rod crowd....................Welcome from New Mexico.........
