Neato!

 

that's awesome. thanks man.

 

I have a "few" of these including 1er2 originals....

 

looking through an old hard drive. Found one that was probably posted here way back.

and where it all started.

 

Dave Brackett's street digger...at one point in time he had a roommate by the name of Tom McMullen.

 

This would make a fun car for the street .
Wonder where it is now?

 

Found this on the front of one listed for sale.
Kind of like Terry Brown.
Ignore those headlights!

 

I'd have that in the dirt in a Terre Haute minute!

 

Love red primer

 

another thread.

Apparently, there are a lot of buckets in the vintage shots thread. They keep showing up on searches.
Here's one from the t bucket plans site that showed up on a pic search.
Lots to like, a few things I'd change, but check out the bed being used!

 

I always thought that the bed was full of fuel tank and battery? In my T-bucket the battery is in a half ex-Army ammo box under the seat with the other half of the ammo box the other side of the torque tube as a tool box. Would have been great back in the 60's to have had the Odyssey PC680 mini battery to use in your T-bucket as I know they can crank over the Poly 318 as I'm running one in my 32-5W with the Poly.

 

For those who don't know , that was built by the late Cotton Werksman from Batavia
Il. Lots of innovation & custom machine work.

 

Hey, RSR;
That one looks a whole lot like the unfinished work-in-progress early version of Andys' InstantT(maybe the pre-InstantT, you can see the heavy influence there) shortbed version. He later had a longer-bed version, that one of his girls rode in(bucket was already full. ) on the way to local rod-runs. Andy got almost 100% of the proportions correct. I think the local laws at the time had a lot to do w/the ~0.01. .
Marcus...

 

err mer gerd... disc brakes!
