Front engine dragster t-bucket
How come no one's put a T-Bucket body on the back of a front engine dragster yet, or have they?
I've seen bantams and fiat bodies, but no t-buckets. Is it possible? I'm going to build a t-bucket (in some form) and thought this might be cool. I am wondering if anyone's seen this done before. I'd like to see a picture of it and/or talk to someone who's "been there, done that".
I originally wanted to make a streetable front engine dragster. The reason for the t-bucket body is so I can take my wife or kids with me on cruises.
The radiator can lay inconspicuously between the front rails, thus keeping the front engine dragster "look" as much as possible. The battery can go under the seat and a moon tank between the front wheels. I'm hoping to hide some small projector style headlights somewhere. The rear will be leaf sprung w/ gas shocks, front - solid axle with friction shocks.
What do you think, is it doable? What's the minimum length drive shaft I should use?
Nothing new under the sun
Thanks for your effort, Bob Parmenter, on trying to find information about Bill Frederick's slingshot t-bucket. I'll do some searches myself and post whatever I find.
I figured I wasn't the first to come up with this combonation. If I can learn from other's efforts it will save a lot of headaches.
As for Streets', comments, I guess that's why they make chocolate AND vanilla icecream - cause some people have different tastes. (Personally, I like tuna ripple.) :3dSMILE:
