New member, nothing cool, yet

I'm currently still in parts phase about to start welding frame rails on a t bucket. Goal is currently to use some crown Vic components to build a bucket with sway bars front and back.

Welcome to our family. Sounds like you're under way with a T-bucket project. The Crown Vic has good bones (engine, trans, etc.) By "sway bars" do you mean torsion bars? I have seen some T-buckets with torsion bar suspension, though they're not common.

Was planning on using the double wishbone front end and hiding it under fiberglass to look like one of the track aero t's

pretty sure I've been terrible at communicating it in general, here's a 2 min cad model for the nose (very approximate)

OK, I kinda see where you're going. Many IFS setups look awkward on a T-bucket, but . . . your idea seems to compensate for that. Here's a pic of a rather radical 27 T with IFS, road-race style . . .

Welcome, looking forward to watching things come together for you in your build.

That's pretty rad
