    Has anyone ever used the Blueprints from a T-bucket chassis to build a frame for a T coupe?

    I haven't, however, I don't see why there'd be any difference in doing so. It all comes down to the parts being used (i.e., axle, suspension, drive-train, etc.) and the "look" you're going for. If you want a rake or a flat stance then the rear kick-up has to be considered as well as the front axle height and suspension design.

    Thank you. Your post has helped the most. I'm just worried about overall length and engine to radiator clearance.

    i agree w/ this... i've mocked up my sedan a couple times at 107"+ and figure i can shave an inch or two off that at most, by reversing the firewall... i even moved my rear axle forward a couple inches to keep the wheelbase in check... 100" might work for a bucket, but is too short for a full bodied car...
