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

This one is just a shadow of the T-Bucket shape, it sure pushed the boundary of 1965.
I won't post a picture, you can follow the link. It's sure to cause a stir. Engine too much, like the later version of Norm's.
Wonder if it's still around. @Moriarity do you have a clue?

I was discussing T-Buckets via PM with @Snicklefritz65 and wrote this. Figured I'd share it here with everyone.

Well, there it is. The start of the whole thing, pretty much.
And the difference between a jaunty rake and a flat style.
Norm's has more rake and the engine is angled different than the body/frame.
Ivo's is all in the same plane, with just rubber rake.
Both drivetrains appear aligned, engine crank, trans mainshaft and diff pinion. Just if that is level with the frame or not.

 

Awesome example @Jimmy

 

Okay, so what movie is this from?

 

AI says it is called Out of Sight, ca. 1966

Funny how that pic just screams 'movie set', not photo shoot, accessory ad or real life.

 

Therein lies where the term "staged" comes from!

 

my friend Ron and I built one back in early 90`s. it was lots of fun .

 

bitchin.

 

All 4 of them have the column coming up thru the floor. Make me feel a bit better about keeping mine tht way and trying to continue to move things back to HAMB era on it. I won't be searching for a matching numbers 327 and pay 500 a corner for period correct rubber, but knock the really obvious later stuff down some.

 

This is about as nice as they get in NZ JW

 

@Snicklefritz65 I goofed around and finally got signed up over there. Just the intro post so far.

 

Like the stance on this one, would like to have seen the builder work on the suspension to make the radius rods and hairpins sit level. Those axles are going to move forward or backward with any suspension movement

 

I'd question trying to drive it with the bell housing/transmission / drive line up in your lap ...

 

man i'm sorry but i missed something. signed up where?
