    Thank you very much for the responses. I am actually looking at the King T project that Total Performance has coming out soon. Just discovered that yesterday. I was worried about the lack of space in a T- Bucket as I am 6'1".

    Will make decision in a few weeks. Thanks!

    A friend of mine is 6'-4" and built himself a T. He looked like Herman Munster sitting in that thing, head way above the windshield and knees in his chin.

    lol, Speaking of Herman Munster, and bucket T's... why waste money on a fiberglass body when you could just cut right to the chase and go with stainless steel! That's what my Dad said about my T...





    Then beef up the front suspension and use a tombstone radiator!!!

    Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

    You know freak, there is an alternative you might consider. Matter of fact, I think it's how I'm gonna do my next one. Start with a small pickup cab and cut the top off, leaving the windshield in place. You already have operational doors, a steel floor and firewall.

    I have been in contact(email) with TP about their new 27 King T, I think it would have a little more room than the 23. I appreciate the response about the truck cab. My workspace and talent are only big enough right now to try a kit car. But in the future...one can only wonder.......
