Hello everyone!
I'm starting to work on my 27' t-bucket once again and figured it would be a good idea to join your group because I'm going to have a lot of questions.
This car was bought by my dad back in the 80's with the intentions to fix it up with his kids when time was right. Unfortunately, that day never happened and I ended up inheriting it when he passed.
Original car as my dad bought it was steel 27' body. Frame was home built by someone at 103" (1923 spec?) Chevy 283 with powerglide trans and GM 10 bolt rearend.
Today the only thing left original is the bucket, which needs some love starting with the floor board. The frame is now a Speedway nostalgia (715-4200). I had a good 67' 350 and T350 for it but my barn flooded and ruined those. Maybe I can take the engine apart and make work again but it's frozen right now. I'm actively looking for a new rear axle right now because the GM locked up a while back when the car was being towed home. I'm thinking the 96+ S10 should work for me.
Anyways, that's a snapshot of me and my project.
