Hello!

Hello! My name is Scott and I live in Louisiana. I am 25 years old and a professional gear head. I build classic cars and hot rods for a living. I currently have a 1967 camaro and a 1976 c10 (daily driver) I also have two 1968 thunderbirds both have 429s autos and 9" ford rear ends. I plan on taking the drivetrain from these two thunderbirds and building a t bucket. I've been wearing out my speedway magazine and I think I've decided on the 27 t kit because of the added length and leg room. I also plan on running some 15" wide tires on the rear and skinnies on the front. I am sure I will be picking your collective brains on this subject as the project progresses.
 
Welcome! Sounds like a good plan!

Before you jump on speedways site and spend a bunch of money, check some of the sponsors here, you will find some more options if you are concerned about space. Most of them offer a stretched version of the various models.

Browse around and see what you can.
 
Welcome from the NW corner of our state. Where are you located?? I'm in Blanchard and there several other bucketheads in this area. Glad to help if needed.

will do! I am 6ft tall 280lbs so the more room the better.
 
Welcome to the forum Scott from Northern Illinois.
 
Sounds like you know your way around the shop. I would suggest buying most all your parts from one source. If you run into a problem that way help is a phone call away.

Oh yeah .... welcome to the site from Minnesota.
 
Thanks guys. On the body I really like the idea of the stretched 27t speedway has but I do not like the turtle back. Does anyone make a 23 stretched I can put a pickup bed on?
 
Both CCR and Spirit build one. I'm 6'2" and 250 lbs and I have a CCR stretched body w/20" bed and I'm very happy with it.
