QC97Z's LTX powered '27 T Bucket Roadster Build!

^ Workin on it man! I've also got a demanding full time job...most of us can't have a gravy cop job
Just kidding PoPo. You know we all appreciate you and what you do for the public.

I just talked to Bruce this morning (my buddy helping me out with bodywork) and we're going to start clearancing the firewall to fit over the bellhousing, and channel the body down over the frame a couple of inches, maybe start on flooring if we get to that. I mentioned to him that he was an LTXTech celebrity now, with his pic up on here and everything. That got him to join up! (Even though he doesn't have any LTX powered vehicles...but I'll bring him to the dark side soon enough)
Saturday will reap more progress. Stay put!

That it is...an elite club for those of us who have the WORST ADDICTION known to man that we're PROUD of having!

Hahaha damn close to the worst
I know them boaters got it bad.. I read a study that showed it is THE most expensive motorsport hobby.. My neighbor builds steam boats from scratch in his garage.. I could only imagine how much he has in to the beauty in his garage that probably gets out on the water 1 or times a year.. I know quite a few people that drop ridiculous amounts of mulah on their old school boats now that I think about it lol.

Back on track though.... THIS BUILD IS FRIGGEN SWEET MAN! Love the uniqueness.

This is ULTRA cool. I hope above all that you have this at the shootout. I call dibs on first joyride at the shootout.

LOL, I wish I even had a Gravy Cop job... all I do is sit at home and go through back "fixing" proceedures.... lol


Its all good, BTW

















































































































IS IT DONE YET?

^ You f*ckin crack me up man.
Actually, a bit more development today. I got a call from a very "specialized" supplier about an electronic system I plan to have on this car. Since there's no top, no windows, and no door locks...security is fairly low. This should bring it up to par, and will be really cool and SUPER unique

Until I have a definitive answer/the system is in my hands, I'm gonna keep it quiet for now.

^ You got it man.





Wait....does this mean RIDE, or DRIVE?



























Just kidding Sean. You can drive it.

Update: Did a bit of work on it tonight. I have a few wrinkle black parts on it now
I decided to get the new rear end mounted up with the radius rods, and get the rear coilover shocks mounted up.


So now the pic upload is working. Hooray for more than one pic in a post.
So then I needed to get it centered up, so I could get the ear welded on for the panhard bar. A bit redneck, but it really did the trick. Ratchet strap + laser level + semi-precision measuring tools = Centered! (keep in mind the pic with the laser level isn't with it centered yet lol)






Then the welder came back out once it was centered...






All done!




Bruce is coming over in T minus...7 hours and 42 minutes to start body work. On the agenda: Cut firewall to clear bellhousing, channel body down over frame, start on floor! If we get farther than that...it'll be a plus. More pics to come tomorrow, hopefully with a body sitting on it!

Stay tuned...

Some quick progress going on..... I'm really liking this thread!

^The quicker the better! Unfortunately job(s) get in the way...oh, and money.

Got quite a bit of bodywork done yesterday. The body is channeled down over the frame, and ready for flooring. I also got the front end back on it last night...but some modification will be required
Pics to come! (at my 2nd job right now...camera's at home )
