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

Fixed it!....

 

Wow this belongs to an old friend of mine . It was the late 60’s he had just got it going , late November or early December , it was red then, he picked me up at a local hang out and we went for a blast, and it was SNOWING ‼️. Those are memories never forgotten ‼️. Shortly after he painted in gold flake . Today it looks exactly like the pic you posted . My friend still takes it out on occasion, he is now in his 80’s , still active in the car scene around here . In fact we were at a local show today . I have forwarded this to him I know he will be pleased . Thankyou

 

that's super cool! glad i could summon some good memories and i always enjoy a real life connection car-to-person. neat.

 

Organizing some of my random old magazines, I ran across this. Simple as can be but ultimately tasteful. I’d love to do one like it today.

 

This came across Facebook today. Anybody know this car? It looks like it might be fun to drive. I'm curious about the hemi valve covers, but only one visible exhaust pipe.

 

Nice! And I like the shock demonstrator beside it too. I remember seeing those in parts houses back in the day

 

This little car looks like a T-bucket go kart. Would love to see clearer pictures of it. Do any exist?

 

That's cheatin' if you don't include the link!

My guess would be they used truck exhaust manifolds which are center dump and tuck in pretty tight to the engine. A simple crossover would explain the one exhaust pipe. Just a guess.....

I'd say that even with solid mounts, the valve cover to hood clearance is awful tight. That along with the 'points' on the hood sides not getting bent might indicate they are all together, as in a part of the cover is attached to the hood side. That would allow any sort of engine to take up space inside. It's possible.
Here's a Red Ram. note how long the front cover and WP area is.

 

Is there any more information or a build thread on this one? This one has a great stance. I’d like to see more of it

 

25 bucks and you can see more!

i believe this is the same car. famous car but names are escaping me at the moment.

Seems the posts are here, but the polished ones are going to be a little longer.

@Snicklefritz65 The icons! Looks like Pebble Beach. 2019, I guess?

@40ragtopdown Interesting!

 

@Dave G in Gansevoort This at least gives you a time and place. Haven't watched the video yet. Hope it has what you can use.
EDIT: it's at 58 minutes in.
That, the plate and the location on the side might turn up more pictures.
Since it was on the midway, check other '95 CHRR pics and videos too, if this isn't enough.
I was there, but doubt I have any pics.

 

Thanks RSR. YUP, it’s a good timeframe.
