T Bucket Bodies Question "Who To Use"

Thanks Marty, for all the construction shots. A lot of thought went into your T's. Perfect form and function. The new Bonneville car is really slick too!

 

Bump to the top with a pic of a T that doesn't require doors.

 

I know I'm late to the party, but when I built mine I used flexible plywood around the top edge. It was pretty flexible and easy to clamp up. No relief cuts that way.

Marty, I have a question. How did you address the floor after you built the internal roll cage?

 

Does anyone know where I can find a '27 T-Bucket body like this one? I see plenty of '27 Roadster bodies with the rear trunk portion and plenty of '23 T bodies but nothing solid on a '27. Any help would be appreciated.

I think SPEEDWAY sells a body similar to that danny.

 

Nope. That's a stretch body from Ron Pope Motorsprts. GREAT guy to deal with.

Those are all 23' bodies. I'm looking for a 27' tub like this. It has a wider cowl area. I plan on running a TEX T101 4 speed and want a wider cowl for three pedals and my size 13 shoes.

 

I did the bodies for Total Performance and still have all my molds 23 , 27 and 32's I also make that 27 lakester your looking for. If interested send me a PM

 

Website and pictures ?

Here's Ron's body, to continue the topic
He also has a stretch and a big boy, but to my view, they are stretched in the wrong spot (all in the cowl, really making it look different).

Since real steel has been mentioned here years ago and on the Bucket Of Ugly thread, I decided to do some digging. Could you put together a complete new body?
Seems like it's not realistic, but you can get a LOT of stuff.

Of course, you can try the various Model T and early Ford forums, and there are a bunch of places that deal with these where you can pick up original sheetmetal.


and of course, the HAMB is a great source for info
