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

Definitely like this one!

 

Kevin sledge's car from the shifters above

 

Would like to see more pics and/or info on Kevin Sledge’s cool “T”!

 

That shot of Kevin's car was probably 20 years ago at Paso Robles. I'm pretty sure he still has the car but it's apart right now I know he's on here but don't know his handle

Moonshiner.

 

Better pic of my 17

 

Rear spring incorrectly installed , sloppy job on the rear brake lines

 

Reno, NV

 

Sure would be a stiff ride. Not only the binding shackles, but the rear tires have so much pressure in them the inside and outside edges are not even running on the road............

 

I have numerous pictures of this car, probably the most famous of all time. I know some are of the original car and I am sure that some are not. I would ask the resident Roth historian @Moriarity, is there any subtle differences between the original and others?

 

'stopped at an estate sale on the way home from a car show on Maury Island yesterday and bought an old surfboard..
next stop Surf City

 

This photo could have been a synopsis of my life years ago. T bucket with a Pontiac (I built one in HS metal shop- 370 w/hydro) the early 4 hole Halibrands that I had back then (still have), reverse chrome wheels and the light green ’55 Ford 2dr wagon in the background ( I never should have sold it). Funny

 

I really, really like this "T".

 

Man, I absolutely love this thread, T buckets have always been cool hot rods. HRP

 

I think the mantra from the T bucket group had to have been "If a little is good, too much is just right".

Roth was supposed to have made 4 of these bodies. Have seen pics of one other that was completed, looked nothing like Roth's but you could see it was the same body. The mould was stored on the roof of his old shop in LA, where it went I don't know, or if it still exists.

 

Someone here will know but I remember an article talking about someone (Robert Williams?) Fixed it, popped a slip & then a mold & made a few?? @Moriarity will know if I am talking trash & what the real story is.
