New Project, 1923 Ford Model T, T-Bucket

After 6 weeks of waiting for the kit to arrive I began my Hot Rod building experience.
Having limited automotive experience this will be somewhat of a challenge but what I can't do myself I will farm out to real mechanics. The kit comes complete with everything but the engine, transmission, wheels and tires.
The end result will be something like this.














Parts arrived.
















By the end of day one the front end was nearly complete. I still need to install the front spindles and rotors.

By day two the rear shocks, radius bars and rear end were installed along with the big a$$ Cragars and Mickey Thompson tires.
After mocking up the frame I'll tearing it back down to have the frame painted.
The frame and body will be painted House of Kolor Tangerine.
