One of the most overlooked aspects of building a T Bucket is seating position and location of controls.  Many a T Bucket builder has spent many years and many dollars building their dream machine only to have it sit in the garage because it is too uncomfortable to drive.  Try not to limit yourself because you just happen to have a cetain steering box or seat.  These cars have a pretty small cockpit and there's not much room for controls.  If your going to have a traditional style bucket with the steering column though the floor, be very careful that you have plenty of room for your knees and you'll be able to operate the gas and brake pedals.  The best way is to mock up everthing and make sure your final setup will work for you, especailly if you are taller than 5'-8 or so.  Onr trick is to locate the gas pedal over the transmission hump.  This allows you to strech out your right leg a bit and be more comfortable.
