Hot Rods How about some love for the T-Bucket?

Hey, Moriarity;
Any more pics of the 26/27(?) in post 1353? Looks very well proportioned.
TIA.
Marcus...

A truly unfortunate use of some great parts....

 

Not sure but the front wheels look like American Lemans.
One thing I've always noticed about many of the T buckets (especially) of the 60's was the incorporation of a lot of "serious" drag racing components like spindle mount wheels, slicks and blowers.

 

Clint Eastwood's first car was a T. HRP

 

I shot a couple of T-buckets with spoke front wheels and recycled dragster slicks in the mid sixties for the magazines. One of the buckets was a 180" WB that was nothing more than a street legal dragster. These cars were in Southern California.

 

Post 1361 is Dode Martin in the black car and Jim Nelson in the green sweater with Dragmaster T buckets. Photo looks like it was shot at the Carlsbad CA shop

 

how about something like the firestone indy-type tires? and while not common i think some mid-60s cars had early discs. but yeah... 80s gm discs would be obviously a no-no.

i'm honestly not trying to be a smart aleck but i know chips (de-ugly) has coilovers out back and that thing seems beloved on the hamb.
