Hey y'all, I am new here from East Texas. I'm not new to building cars however this is my first venture into something like this.
How it began- I bought a pickup truck that was seconds away from being crushed, after a few hours work I had it running and driving, then saw an abandoned unfinished T bucket project on Facebook and was able to trade said truck for the T.
Upon delivery, the T was ROUGH. But it had plenty of good parts, well worth the price I paid for it. I decided I wanted a more "traditional" style T and thought I would attempt to build one using what I had.
The first step was to take the frame and throw it in the scrap pile. It was so bad. I bought some 2x3 box and built my perimeter frame loosely based off the "youngster" plans. Next step was to mock everything up on the new frame to get my wheelbase correct.
Now I am currently trying to save the poor excuse of a fiberglass body that I have. This thing is warped and tweaked every direction except straight!
That being said, if anyone has a useable body in the Texas/Oklahoma/Louisiana/Arkansas area, I am interested! I am still fiddling with this one but I feel it is too far gone.
Thanks for reading and hopefully I can get some progress pics uploaded.
