I started with the Bull Horn T with the thought to use the Uncertain T body. I did a bunch of modification to the frame to fit the new body. After reaching a point on doing the Uncertain T on another build in the future I decided to go back to the T Bucket body. In a (unsuccessful ) attempt to un-modify the frame I totally "Botched" it up. Does anyone make a T Bucket frame in 1/16th ? At this point scratch building may be my only choice. 

Thanks

Scratch building a bucket-T frame should be easy, as a lot of 'em are fabbed from 2X4 rectangular steel tube, closely represented by .080" X 3/16" styrene strip.     https://www.ebay.com/itm/114521205475?

Model-A frames have been used as starting points too.

Minicraft makes several flavors of 1/16 model-A, and they're great kits to build, or as parts sources for 1/16 rods.

the member Meat Man offers files for 3d printing a t frame. No brackets or that included but he gives the file away on cults free

The Lindberg 1/16 scale Serpent kit probably has the same chassis, and it has a few extras.  It may be easier to find and a better price.

Facebook group “large scale modelers” Jo Scmocan prints many different frames for T’s , and 32’s in all scales . He does nice work.
