Alum-A-T is a all aluminum T Bucket I'm building. The only parts that arn't alum are the glass body and tires, etc. As soon as I get the hang of posting a picture you will get photos. Sence about 1969 I've wanted a car with a alum chassis. In the late 60's I ran a Wheelstander Ford Econline and also had a 92" wheel base T Fuel Altered, went everywhere but streight. Injected chevy small block on nitro with direct drive and 10" wide tires. There was this Ford Bronco funny car match racer that had a fuelie 289 Winsor that had a aluminum chassis. This is the only way he could stay with the big engines. The chassis was very cool, and I was hooked. It has taken me this long to gather enough experence and knowledge to build this car. I have been looking and reading this site for quite a while. I got a e/m from the webmaster asking how to start a NTBA Chapter, so I thought now would be a good time for me to get to know ya'll. The NTBA in the past had many problems and we have been VERY attentive to change our site to get back to a family values and a family club site for everyone. Like all sites we have our kickers and shakers, and some of us old timers-old friends polk fun at each other, but just in brotherly love type of fun. There is lots on knowlage in the NTBA and we like to share it with others. As you can tell I talk a lot. Back to my bucket. Front axle is alum super bell (I couldn't build this) with alum hair pins, steering, and shocks. Alum frame, cross members, Champ QC IRS with self built trailing arms and self built out boards. I'm using XJ40 Jaguar axles, Ebay for 47.00 a pair. Working on the steering box and arms, some more alum stuff I building. Alum fuel tank 18 gallons. Alum Ford DOHC V8 4.6 6-71 blower alum intake self built. Just like the cars ya'll build, except I'm using aluminum. I sold my old bucket to rodder down under, it has a BBC and was way to fast. Just like a fuel altered. Had it about 12 years and many many many changes. It's bed time, see ya'll soon. weelstang
