Hot Rods 60s style T-Buckets.

roots style blower off of a diesel used in conjunction with a turbo on a gas engine...kind of a sequential charger setup

 

KY Boy; Thanks, in the process of my recycling, I tear everything down bolt by bolt and try to save what I think might be useful or of value to someone. In this case I have several diesel motors around and at this time a half dozen blowers in the shop that I thought might be good for something. I don't know the size of them and they are in various states of disrepair. This is future trading stock I guess. Thank you for the promt reply. Bruce

 

Yes, 4 cylinder 71 Series Detroit Diesel. A 2 stroke engine with 71 cubic inches per cylinder. Sorry I'm of topic, but inquiring minds want to know.

Absolutely love it. Short wheelbase, chrome reverse, baby moons, wide whites, all accented by the white top, interior and block and tasteful pinstriping -- overall, a very hot car!

P.S. Don't burst my bubble, but with the low angle photo the first time I saw this I thought it was so perfect it was a model.

 

It's in 1/25 scale but I like this style kind of like mid to late 60's.

 

this is the TROJAN T and I would love to see more

 

here it is in the 60s

 

This is my project and the reason i started this thread.
Thanks for all the cool pics.
I got mine running a few days ago.Still looks kinda lame but it aint done yet.

Does anybody remember in the 60’s t bucket using front sheetmetal of car of the 50’s turn up side down? I remember one here in west Texas that ran a Chevy 348 but I can remember what the body was made out of.

 

He's a member on the tbucketeers website. Mans loaded with info on T's.

 

One we picked up a couple years ago out of so cal...

 

Nothing lame about your car, John. The stance is right on, and the tank looks great from here. Mike

 

Here is one sitting at a house not far from me. Obviously built earlier than 1978 since it attended the Street Rod Nationals in Merced Californoa in 78'

 

Awesome bucket, you gonna restore it to that status or its a buddys? Got any more pics?

 

I'm trying to work out a deal for the car now but we are about $1,000 apart.

 

John 69, are those two the same car? I like the top one a lot better.

 

Are there any more photos of Hollmann's....I had completely forgotten about that one. It was the first to use the older brass shell.

 

I am sooo in love!!!!! Mike
