T bucket lengthening

[adey]

I have a t bucket that i am building and it is standard size, and i would prefer more leg room. Chasis not a problem because i have to build it .

I would like to lengthen it so could someone please tell me where is the best place to cut it to lengthen it. i still would like to retain the correct look, and does anyone have any photos.

My link
I did my own
Here is a pic from when I did mine it has been a year with no cracks.I cut it behind the door look in the fiberglass to keep that look.

After with lost of fiberglass and basically I cut it reinforced the bottom with bent steel over 2x4's that where on bottom of body.And screwed plywood on inside of body with screws on out side then fiber glassed
over plywood and put a steel rod on the top where the lip was to reinforce it. Any other questions PM me.

Hi Putz, I can sure appreciate all the work it went into lengthening the body. Looks like you did a real nice job. On the link that you sent, the staggering of the pieces is a strength advantage. Anyway, an enormous undertaking. Good work!
