Roger, to the contrary, I totally got his post and complimented his description of his cars handling abilities, this was in addition to my earlier post #4 on this thread congratulating Arrowhead on his remarkable tenacity and endurance during his build. If you check that post, 34_40 sent me the link Arrowheads Hot Rod Site which was a fascinating read and was a well documented introduction for me being a newbie to the business of hot rods. Also, and if I am not mistaken, Arrowhead responded to one of my original questions as to height of the front of the car to the ground.

As to the T bucket remark, I like both the T bucket and the deuce, but to my novice eye when looking at the for sale sites they have been offered with what appeared to be smaller engines than say what is typical for the deuce. Now maybe I have not seen any T buckets with BBC or Fords and being the case mea culpa for making an observation that was not entirely correct. Regarding the older folks crack, yep, I expect that may stir the pot a bit, but then again it was all in good fun, right? I am of the opinion the distinction between the older folks and bad boys will be taken in the spirit it was pitched as being pure hyperbole. That said I am curious why somebody selects a T bucket over say a deuce, probably just personal preference, but I thought I would pose the question.

So there you have it, I don't generally explain my actions, but being new to this forum I thought it best to do so. Did I do right?

Now where did I put those cast iron pants?

Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man
