T bucket frame plans

[Tims Garage]

I have plans that call for a 24 in ch width ? is this incorrect ? I have a body, do i cut the body so the frame and kickup so it goes thru the body? What shold the total length of the frame be ? so many different measurements out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim I would recommend you measure the firewall and make the frame as wide as possible. Most all of the bodies the firewall is 26 1/2" wide, so we build out frames 26 1/2" wide. It can get pretty cramped for space between the rails, for stuff like starters, fuel pumps, oil filters, stuff you just got to have.

Thanks RPM, does the body get cut out for the frame from the dront the the back where the kick up is?

For those who want them, PW your mailing address to me. There's too much materal to send by e-mail.

Youngster,
I would love a set of your T-Bucket frame plans and will also be glad to help with the cost.
Thanks

My vote is coilovers. Easy to set up and you can always switch it springs if you need to.

I agree, coil overs are the way to go. Easy to adjust and they ride so much better.
