    I'm not to bothered about trunk space Todd, if my measuements are correct i should have room for a tank around 12 gallons or maybe a bit more, I will make a custom shaped tank that will sit tight against the seat back.
    For weekends away i tow a teardrop trailer and usually throw our hand luggage in there or in the pickup bed of Sue's 29A R/P


    I know what you mean about towing a trailer but its a handy space for stuff, maybe i should put a towbar on Sue's car

    A new chassis with a decent kickup will get my t coupe low, but then I cant figure out where to store my stuff when I go off to runs etc. I will not tow a trailer behind my hotrod.

    I see a bunch of T coupes that sit way low but I was wondering how much room you will have left in your boot (trunk for our American friends) when it looks like the rear end goes thru the midle of the trunk space.

    Also, where you fit a decent sized gas tank.

    Thanks

    Heck Steve a neat little trailer to go with the cars and yes, maybe you should take time out to fit a drawbar, (tow hitch for our american friends) to Sue's RPU after all most of the luggage would be hers, ( and please don't tell her,I don't need her being upset with me) As you would know T Buckets have even smaller amount of luggage space and especially when it is two going on a rod run. Lamin8r on this site builds fibreglass bodies etc and I'm keen to buy one of his model A pickup beds for making a trailer to tow behind my bucket to be able to carry the neccessaries like the light refreshments and deck chairs etc..

    We used to have a Miss Whiplash in the UK, hope you didn't get your nickname for the same reasons
