Hi guys, I just a couple of days ago drove home a 27 T bucket style car that another guy had started and was tired of it taking up space in his garage.
Thought I would post a few pics and see what you thought.
He did not do this from a kit but laid out the frame in his garage and welded it all up from scratch. I don't know if he had a plan to go by or what but seems like a solid frame anyway. He did a *lot* of work by hand, I crawled around underneath and he fabricated a lot of stuff under there. Especially in the passenger compartment, wooden floors, seats, sound baffling, etc.... Really good work in my humble opinion.
As you can see the car is basically finished except for some final touch up stuff.
It needs the shocks connected as you can tell by some of the pics.
The electrical needs to be gone over. It does have headlights that work but no turn signals...
The transmission speed gear is stripped so I can't tell how fast I am going...
The shifter is atrocious. It works but man is it ugly as you can tell. Does anyone know of a cheap simple shifting lever I could replace that thing with?
And as you can tell it is dusty from sitting for so long.
He told me he has (maybe) put 30 miles on it since he got it running. Wow.
