    I would like to once again thank yblockT for offering my ''T'' chassis plans on his site.

    I got real lucky and scored a factory rebuilt 292 with less than 1500 miles on it out of a '56 pickup for $300. Got an Edlebrock 573 3-2 manifold off e-bay for almost as much as i paid for the engine and a set of vintage Edlebrock valve covers also very spendy. I'll be mating the to a '39 top loader with an open drive to a '42 pickup rear end.

    Here's my version in mock up;

    As one who builds everything on my cars myself, and was preparing to put together my first T bucket out of some parts that I scrounged and some that I had in the back yard (read: "cheep") Chesters E-book was timed just right for me. after download I actually spent the time to then print out the whole book, which ended up over 2" thick, and have found myself refering to it often. anyone who builds, rather than buys will find it a valuable asset, as well as getting a chuckle from his off handed humor.

    When I grow up I wanta be like Chester

    (When I was young I told my mother "when I grow up I want to build hot rods" but now I realise I can't do both.)
