Thread: Haven't quit work on the T......

Tweet

Being a big T fan I'm glad to be able to pick up the story also and thanks for the photos. One question though and I realize I'm far too late for any changes, also this is just me thinking out loud and you have every right to tell me to mind my own business, but, why did you build the frame so long, to me it is out of proportion and should of been several inches shorter. Maybe with using those zoomies doesn't help either and maybe side pipes would help bring it all together a bit better. Just my humble opinion here.

Thanks for your comments. That is what I love about hot rodding, we all build our cars to our own tastes. I never cared for the stubby short look of most T buckets....in fact, I never really liked buckets. But I do appreciate the fact that some do and that there is a place in the hot rod hobby for them. What I do like about buckets it the open engine/wheel&tire look. I also like a real steel body. So my choice was to make a T with a real body, and eliminate the stubby look by using a frame built for a 27 T not a 23 T. The pics may not do it justice, but this rod looks badazz in person plus it is an original body.......
