Speedway is about the cheapest on the nose and hood. The nose was $129 and the hood was $149 if IRC. My T has a 7.5 10 bolt out of a S10 on a quarter elliptic with no turtle deck or bed. Doesnt look bad IMO. I would sell you my turtle deck and lid for $100. Check on the shipping from 37865 if you are interested.

Thanks for the info! ill let you know on the turtle deck..may be very interested!

I can get you dimensions of it tonight if you want. Just send me a PM if you are interested.

 

Bingo, I get the whole single seat salt racer thing, track nose, rivets ect, yes, bitching no doubt, but he has a kid. Build a neat sixties themed t-bucket, stick your kid in the passenger seat, and have a blast. You build a single seater out of it, you are gonna regret it every time you back out of the driveway, and see your kid standing there waving goodbye. So says a fellow daddy.

 

Well said George.

 

George for the win.
$500 jag and just transfer all the guts to that frame and go.

 

I always wanted one of them, its on my bucket list

 

oh, and while I'm here. NICE friggen Commando!

 

figured since I was asking questions about the rear and al lI should post some pics..





front

 

as far as the rear turtle deck goes. .am I limited to the 23/25 style turtle deck or could i use the one that looks more roadster rear end?

 

yeah that is one of the biggest factors..my daughter..least with being a two seater she can hop in and go for a ride. Guess I'l lhave to think about if I'll be keeping that top cover, though more I think of it,I may end up selling it off though not sure what its even worth..

 

I wonder how many times the average T Bucket body is bought and sold before they are actually built and see road use. $500 bucks for a new body at Speedway Motors in Lincoln.

 

I seen the bodies at speedway. but I was refering to the lid to make it a single seater.. kinda diggin the thought of tooling round with my daughter in it..

 

I like the Jag idea too. Pretty up the IRS and don't run a deck.

 

If you're not dead-set on a drag racing version..

 

that is so simple and sweet..
