Been building bikes for a while so I decided since I had a new Speedway T Bucket body sitting in the garage, it was time to switch gears and build a bucket Plan is to use the body I have, 28' - 29' Model A grill, SBC, Ford 8" rear end on a homebuilt 2x3 frame
Haven't posted an update due to slow progress. Picked up a 25' Buick grill and started the chop.. 8" down and 2" narrow in the bottom. Need to get a pic with the bottom back on. Also picked up a 66' Buick 300, 16x4 steelies, Firestone dirt tracks, and a shortened bed
cool build i have an old buick grill shell like that to , i think it looks nicer than a T shell , it still has the enamel buick badge also
Posies front spring finally arrived, spindles and hubs mounted, front tires touched down today for the first time full mounted. Wonderful wife held up one headlight to get a look at headlight mounts
You have a great helper I really like the grille. Dig it when someone uses different parts from the norm. Gives it a unique yet cool character
The tie rods will actually run under the frame I just havent bent the factory arms down yet for clearance
Both headlight mounts are made just need to be blended. Also cut the bed down a few more inches and contoured it to fit the body and am starting the Ford 8" axle brackets
