Mykk's BMW V8 T-bucket, version 1.5:

How it currently sits with the radiator, grill and headlights moved up to the perch crossmember:



MsPaint skills removing 9" from the frame. I think it would work out for the better. Even adding the internal sleeve would be worth it.

The short wheelbase T's handle like a go-kart. The longer wheelbase gives a smoother ride, but . . . pick your poison. Mine is 103".

Then you can get real stupid! My first car was 144”. The new car is 166”!

Shifting gears for a different project today.

With the awkward shape of the tank under the cowl I knew I wouldn't be able to fit mechanical gauges in the dash. So I made myself digital gauges on a touch screen.

Using a Raspberry Pi 5, full version of the tuning software and a 7" DSI screen. The software autoruns at startup, then conditionally it will auto run the self tuning side of the software making perpetual adjustments to the running VE table in a constant learning mode similar to like Holley EFI. Finally the boot SD card and the OS are Write Protected for a Read Only mode as to not currupt the boot data when power get's disconnected.

The dash and gauges are my own making and I can change them up as desired.











Once the body get's painted in semi-gloss black the screen should blend in and just about disappear when turned off.

Don't mind the zero oil pressure on the digital gauge. The sensor isn't hooked into the EFI controller on Bucket V1 but will be on V1.5

Damn! People are smarter than anybody! Lol
