Speedway Motors 7151800 Details

If you thought all 1923 T-buckets were the same, think again! The all-new Speedway Motors 1923 Tribute T breaks the T-bucket mold. It offers the traditional look of classic, competition-influenced roadsters combined with modern components and refined engineering. All this in a comfortable package thats easy to assemble using basic hand tools.

The Tribute T frame has an extra-high rearkickup and Model A rear crossmember that will accept our medium-arch rear leaf spring. Rear axle options include our bolt-on Winters quick-change kit7151801, bolt-on 9" Ford rear axle option7151809, or aFord-style banjo rear end of your choice (must be a centered-pinion rear axle). The front suspension uses a 4 inch drop I-beam axle, wishbone-style radius rods and traditional steering with a reversed Corvair steering box. All suspension, steering and brake pedal brackets are pre-welded to the frame and you can choose from flathead Ford V8 or small-block Chevy engine mounts. (Please indicate your engine and transmission application being used in the comments box at checkout.) A special floor allows the Tribute T body to sit a low as possible, while still providing room for ourBomber Seatsorcushionsof your design.

I purchased this kit a hand full of years ago and have spent the last few months attempting to assemble it. I read the 3 other reviews and have had a completely different experience. First, there is no instruction manual for assembly and it is very different from any kit that is covered in the manual. Second, I didnt want to spend $5g on the rear end package since I already have a quick change. Speedway supplied me with all the bolt on pieces minus the cost of the rear, basically I still paid a premium for an incomplete bracket set, a spring, and some control arms. Speedway doesnt sell any of the brackets that they weld onto the rear. They are vehicle specific and are made in Narnia, evidently. Tech also couldnt supply me with a few basic measurements for the rearend brackets. I was told "that stuff is all built on a jig. We dont have those measurements availible. I guess nobody could measure one of the show cars or even the jig to help me out even though I have well over $6,000 into their product thus far. Last, my current issue is the heim joint spacers for the rear upper control arms dont fit between the tabs on the frame. I can only assume I am trying to install them in the correct place because, again, there is no manual and the parts arent even labeled with their location. Its all a giant expensive guessing game. I noticed one of the other reviews said their front suspension was already bolted together on delivery. I just got boxes of mystery for my money. I did note that the 3 other reviews are 10-15 years old. Maybe they dont put any effort into their product anymore. I also noticed when looking at the pictures and video of the Tribute on Speedways page that the cars they show arent even all designed/built the same. Example: look at the lower control arms in the rear. So Speedway either didnt have their engineering figured out when they released the product or they dont know what they are building. I just want answers.

The quality of this kit is far better than I expected. It was delivered in a decent time frame and had the front suspension installed. Saved a lot of time. Had a roller in 3 days.

As a first time builder, I have found the Tribute T to be very simple. You can build it at what whatever price level you want. The support is great when asking questions through the build. Can't wait to finish it!

Absolutely a great kit for the first time builder of a hot rod. Everything you need to complete this car is offered by Speedway Motors, they've taken all the stress out of building. No welding is required, simple hand tools are all you will need. The quality of the parts are top notch. I've built other cars, some from scratch and some kits. The Tribute T kit has been the most enjoyable of all to build.
