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

This one is for sale on the early Ford swap and sale for $2,300.

 

Interesting paint job on the headers! Looks like he was trying to emulate the old magazine cover glowing header colors.

 

What engine is in this car?

 

Looks Model A. JW

 

Beware.....the Headless Hot Rodders!

Halloween weekend car show?

Talk about short wheelbase!

Appears to be a very nice build from pictures!

 

Loks like the Speedway traditional T kit. I like the execution. I'd do a couple things different personally.

 

Those are called Tribute T

as opposed to the regular style, which comes in Basic, Nostalgia and Deluxe

 

I can't remember ever looking at a car and not seeing something I would have done differently. (even my own stuff)
That's what Hot Rodding is all about to me.

 

@GearheadsQCE Agreed, but it's also a nice way of saying "that's okay except for XXX" which starts a whole nitpick of things. That tends to devolve so this is less divisive.

 

That's what happens in any discussion involving opinionated , grumpy , guys , 'tis the nature of the beast .

 

NO, IT'S NOT!
Just to keep this going, I'll post this image I had to copy and change to a jpeg.
Just goes to show there are as many ways to build one as there are builders!

 

I have this kit.....

 

No. It doesn't start a whole nitpick of it. Just means I like the car overall, but it's not totally my cup o' tea. It looks very well executed. Has a nice stance. The wheel/tire package fits really well. I like the color even. I'm not a SBC engine guy. I'd rather see a Ford in it. But otherwise great car.

 

Keystone advert with Walt Kaline's T.

 

Are you telling us the last 3500 posts haven't already shown most every conceivable way to build a T ?

 

And not any two are the same, or will most likely will be. JW

 

@2OLD2FAST Take those 3500 posts and subtract the 3 or 4 versions and the exact tributes of Norm's T and Ivo's T, then remove every duplicate picture of others we all dig, we still haven't covered all the variations by a long shot! Gotta keep searching!
