Hi all this is my first post on this board so I figured i would take a little time and introduce myself My name is Kevin Knuth I hail from Phoenix AZ and I am in the middle of a long move to Galveston TX the reason for the long move is we have house's in both places and have as yet not been able to sell the one in Phoenix.
I have made several cars over the years for customers, but never for myself. And I have wanted a T-bucket sense I was a kid of 13 now to make matters worse my son built his before I got a chance to make one for me (Using Mostly My Parts) ok he did it as a senior project for College But I still want mine.
Now I want a STEEL body yes I have a plastic one I even did the stretch on it and made a new mold of it in the eighty's and the one I have is a copy from that mold. It is a four inch stretch in the body behind the doors with the body widened four inches at the back and three inches in the cowl the body lines had to be made taller to make the lines line up again.
I used to do fiberglass mold making back in the day but I am sensitized to the stuff now and can not do anything with the stuff now.
My plan is to make my own body using the plastic one I have as a reference and if there is enough interest i have though about making a set of Kirksite dies for making new steel panels.
