My New T-Bucket Build

[Bennett]

You've got to love progress.

That's a good looking frame. The square frt. crossmember will help line things up.

At this rate it will be running by the end of the summer ! Got the body cut out for the tunnel and clearanced for the ladder bars. Got my SBC tore down for the machine shop. Transmission is set in where it needs to be. And the rear suspension stuff will be welded up within the next few weeks. Just waiting on coilovers from Art Morrison to arrive to finish it.

 

[Joe-405]

Picture no worky for some reason.........................

 

[Joe-405]

Just waiting on a welder....................... AGAIN, Story of my life ! I have a 9" and all the rear suspension just waiting.....................................

 

[Joe-405]

Well my welder said get it ready and he will be over this week. Yay for me (and yeah its a different guy so he will be here). So since he is coming to me and bringing his welder and welding helmet i got everything ready so its a hold and weld now. After this i call ron for spindles and i can physically roll it around. I would love to drive it to Pigeon Forge but i dont wanna go that far with a newly built car. I think i could actually make it by then.

The wheels are for mock they are the fronts that i borrowed from my dad................................................

 

[Joe-405]

Look NO jackstands anymore....................... (and a sweet pic to i might add !)

 

[old round fart]

Looking good Joe!

 

[Keeper]

Nice when you can roll it around the shop!

 

[Joe-405]

Its been a week before any updates so im behind.

Got the tranny and engine in courtesy of RPM's sweet mounts. Got the floor cut out today and now waiting on the filler to dry so i can glass it in............................

 

[old round fart]

GO JOE!!!

 

[Joe-405]

overall pics of progress, RPM motor mounts and drag car ladder bar set up pics for those that was asking..........................And yet once again waiting on a welder !

P.S. Dont mind the hose clamps they are there so i dont screw the nylon up til assembly.

 

[Bennett]

Thanks Ron, That means alot. My house was 20+miles away it hit on the next town south of OKC im on the northside. It missed my sister by 5 miles and her best friend by a half a mile. Someone needs to check on Old Round Fart he was closer just dont know how close.

 

[Joe-405]

What you guys think of the free wheels and tires on the rear from my dad. They are starting to grow on me the more i look at them !

P.S. And why yes them tires say dune grabber for the brand. They came off a mid 60's dune buggy from a buddy of mine. And no you cant have them. lol

 

[Joe-405]

And the slow work begins. Making the floor nice and tight ! Good thing i was really good at wood working in school cause it paid off ............................

 

[Joe-405]

And now if my transmission tunnel was at my house i could finish ALL of the fiberglass work minus the final stage of paint !

 

[old round fart]

WOW! You move fast! Wish you would build mine! LOL John
