Built frame from 1 1/2 x 3 tube, longer than most T's, 110 inches . Wider also , Exolorer rear, parallel 4 link, coil overs. Ron Pope front axle. Started with a 23 T cowl but built the rest of the body from scraps laying around. Bit wider and longer than average T. I'm longer and wider than average. All the paint is rattle can, will stay that way.

Nice work, fuzz. I'll bet you had fun building that frame and body. Looks like you have mounts for a short box or tank on the back. What engine?
 
How you doing Bob? .. Short box is built just waiting to finish fuel lines and wiring. 383 Small block chevy, finished , hanging on engine stand.
 
Your roadster will scoot pretty good with that stroker 383. What did you use for door hinges? Steering box?

Keep us posted on progress.

Interior door hinges for houses! ,bear claw latches. Steering box is Ebay Corvair copy, used em before and seem pretty good for the price, $175. Will keep updating...
 
Good to see a home made steel bucket body. Starting with a factory cowl like you did is a big benefit. Good job Fuzz.
 
Got a few things done. Made seat and covered with Chinese blanket. Mounted Camaro shifter with safety switch. Made gas pedal , mounted it and made foot rest cuz its over the trans hump. Finished steering shaft, two u joints and two supports, sits high cuz need room for my big self. Installed dash with few gauges and switch panel..

Good looking bucket! I like the flat plate on the tunnel to put your foot on the gas pedal. I’ve seen high pedals before that looked like it would be uncomfortable to keep your foot on, yours looks comfy!
 
Got a little more done. Mounted fuel tank, pump and lines installed. Mounted simulated bed, actually had to do it over cuz my original mounts were crooked. That happens when u only got one eye, also makes welding difficult. Got confidence in my welds they just not too pretty.:(
 
Some reason pics didn't show up, try again
