Was stalled on the roadster so jumped into this new project. Had the parts for years and started modifying the body awhile ago so just had to decide on chassis suspension etc. Shortened the chassis rails and boxed them then set them up on the chassis table with the mtr/box in place and body on to check proportions.
So if I happened to stop by to see you, would I recognize you with all the weight ya' put on, you fat bugger? Will you still fit in the T-bucket? :rolleyes::rolleyes:;):LOL::whacked:
haha - how are you - long time since I've been on here ! I'll fit alright
Doing OK. Adapting to a single pull vs pulling as a pair is not as easy as some seem to think, but getting there.... Was talking earlier tonight with a couple that visited Godzone in March, thinking about all the things I missed. May need to plan a trip.Quote:

built the chassis using Studebaker rails. banjo diff will have the centre-section changed to a nz quickchange .
Very nice! This is going to be a wild looking ride when you get it done!
In a word. SUBTLE! :LOL::eek::LOL::eek::LOL:
Cool project! Love the quick change. Will you be machining it yourself? I would like to see some pics.
Subscribing so I can follow along.
this is how it sits now waiting for some attention.
just testing to see if photo comes out.
Woohoo!
She's looking good mate.
Been certed?
Have you posted it on the Maverick's site?
I haven't seen it there...
Good to see you here, Mark! I've seen some pics of the T bucket flying around a dirt track on your FB page. Not sure you're planning for this one to ever see the open road, so maybe no certs?
Hi JB , its been finished for awhile and i raced it at jalopy dustup in january.Quote:

The only photos of it have been on my facebook page as i find it very time consuming with the computor i use to change the photo sizes to enable the photos to be put on the Maverick an this and other sites.
I have had another joint replacement (left shoulder) an am on a compulsery go-slow for the next 6 weeks so i should be able to get more photos up.
Thanks.
Sorry , i have been missing for a long time but i got seriously frustrated with trying to post photos ,and i just became a site stalker , here, and at other sites i belong too.Quote:

See my reply to JB about cert.
It looks really good and it sounds like it's a blast to drive, the inline 6 is perfect! I had to back and refresh myself with the build. I get the pic thing, it's kinda frustrating when every where else is so easy.
I didn't know Colin was a certified Certifier.Quote:

He was about as much use as a chocolate chisel.
some more build photos
and some more.
some of the body work - cut down Morris Minor dash
Colin wasn't able to do yours at that time. He only became able to do the lot in the last 3 years.Quote:
