just a lil tid bit on my 23t

hello everyone here in car crazy heaven. the reasoning for this post is for, yes once again, a lil bit of advice for my 23T roadster. as you all know pop(moparrodder) and i have thinking of different syspencions for the roadster, coil over vs. the posibilitys of mabey airbags to lengthing the wheelbase all for a better ride. but i kinda got to thinkin about the way most t-buckets are how not to often do you ever see any two alike, and i got a lil lightbulb over my head the other night and got to thinkin how out of all the t's that dad and i have seen i havent seen one as short as mine or with the ole"buggy"spring in front and in back and that got me to thinkin....i know i know probly no good huh lol. but i talked to dad about it and he said it was mine and what to do was up to me knowin that he like the idea of a smoother ride but i thought it might be kina neat to leave it a lil bit more old school so to speak. rough riding wind in your hair and only open road and miles to travel to make it to the next car show. oh wow that sounds cool:) and if i was to do that with a lil work here and there and workin over the road now with my job and not beeing really able work to much on the rods with dad and andrew, as plans go accordingly i might be able to drive all the way from dunlap to make it for kansas city. im only 23yrs old and i just think it'd be neat to do some thing a lil diffrent....well i dont want to keep every1 to long so take care and drive it to enjoy it...;)chad

Check out the 27 in my profile. It's a T rod with a Caddy like ride. Jag rear and Vette front end. Dave

Back in the late 50's early 60's buckets were short, tall, with buggy springs on both ends.
If I were building a bucket that's how I'd do it.
But the only one you gotta make happy is you.
If you want ride & handling, long wheelbase, low, with maybe torsion bars borrowed from a roundy round car.

Chad I'd leave it the way it is! I've seen your bucket I personally I think it is sharp ! You mite want to paint it so it will fit you but other than that I'd just drive it!
