Re: Getting ready for Indy . . .
Thanks guys for clarifying; maybe I'm strange, but I don't consider those vehicles as "T-buckets" . . .

Agree with Bill. There are Center Door Model T's. Now, IF you were to cut off the top, throw in a big V8, install some hydraulic stoppers, a 9" rear with a set of fat meat on the back - - I might then be convinced it's a "T Bucket".

Re: Getting ready for Indy . . .
Agree with you on the reliability issue.
I made that mistake twice, closer to stock makes for more carefree miles, and you still get the roar of the pipes
