von Mako Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 You are aware there isnt many t buckets that drive "comfortably" right? Sure there are. If your front end is set up correctly, there's not reason it shouldn't handle like a Cadillac (or there abouts!) even with an I-beam. But it's just advice, I'm not trying to start an argument. Is this your first rod? I'm building a '28 Roadster Pickup but I'm throwing round the idea of building a bucket on the cheap to try out some ideas for the A.

It is my first hot rod yes, but have a very experianced builder helping out (old man). He must have built/modified like a trillion billion gazillion (makes new numbers) in his years.

von Mako Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Sweet, off to a good start anyways man. Who's your old man? My pop's a rodder from way back aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insani-T Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 His name is Steve Daniels. Been doing the hot rodding thing since mid 70s, was an original member of a hot rod club called Tall Timbers. But that is no longer around but most old rodders know about it.

Insani-T Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Ok have the engine mounts all sorted, next step is to make the transmission mounts. And then after that we can then start mocking up the exhausts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drftnmaz Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 just a question about that bracket your getting cut... i thought you werent allowed s/s parts in the steering? and digging the insperation pic, you gonna rock the chicken on roof aswell? its so awsome edit: damn im too slow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insani-T Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Damn just rememberd my car has no roof so wont be any poultry on it Hmm never heard that you arent allowed to have stainless steel in the steering. Now plenty of hot rodders that do, may have to look into that one. Hope I can cause it cost me far too much to get it cut out. Will take photos of the bracket tonight, its done.
