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

If that single hinge doesn't work out, there are concealed ones that will work on the back of the door. I think Soss hinges would work, but if not there are plenty of others around.

Got the exhaust turnouts-mufflers & mufflers-headers TIG'd on:





The CCR windshield posts and frame arrived, got that mounted this morn:





The plexiglass is a placeholder for now, the plan is to use a glass windshield with a 60's vintage green tint.

Have you been in a T-bucket with a tinted windshield? I find the reflections to be distracting, but . . . to each his own! Your build is looking killer!

Do you have only one hinge? Where did you get it? That is some beautiful welding on that turnout!

Do you have only one hinge? Where did you get it?

One generic 180 degree scissor hinge that is meant as a set of house door hinges. Unbolted from it's housing. I picked it up off amazon,

In the Arizona summer heat I am getting an hour or two in the early mornings before the warehouse gets thoroughly cooked. I am doing piddley, quick projects until I can invest some real wrench time.

A benefit to the plexiglass, or in this case acrylic, I can drill my own holes for the mirrors:



The 3" peep mirrors on the uprights look good, but far from practical.

 

[Spanky]

Unless you plan to have a top, the peep mirrors should be adequate, IMHO. That's what I use with no problems. Of course I could say, I don't need no stinkin' mirrors because I'm leaving everyone behind! (LOL)

Hello Myyk!
I've been following along on this avidly. I saw you Version 1 last year at Watson Lake but didn't meet you. I had just got mine and hoped to talk. Then found your youtube and your posts here. Love the effort you put into each detail.

Really clean look nice stance.

A photo similar to that one was on the cover of the Courier last Friday, promoting this years Watson Lake show. I was unfortunately out of town for the car show this year. Thanks for posting that pic. I'm sure we'd likely still be in that exact spot talking Tbuckets a year later.
