OK if we are going to do this again.(I LOVE IT)

 

Here is mine from '64 ,a true backyard/porch build.

 

Never been a big fan of T's... until I bought one this week. Subscribed and enjoying!

 

Here's mine....

 

What a great thread! Thanks for the resurrection.
How about K.C. 18 year old Larry Ryan's T-Bucket, built around '59 on a $2k budget , and which appeared in Oct. '61 Rod & Custom.


If you get that strange feeling that it looks familiar, it was eventually purchased by Speedy Bill and is still used in promotional material.


More info on this cool T-Bucket at http://www.tbucketplans.com/2010/04/05/larry-ryans-t-bucket/

 

Hey!!! I saw that on craigslist a couple days ago....

Here is one I saw at Bonn. a few years ago. Full of kool parts although I don't particularly like the way they were put together.

 

Personal favorite, mine, 426 Dodge Ramcharger and pushbutton Torqueflite
Rod and Custom Nov. 1968

 

dkendall....hey thats your car! Do you know if it has survived?

 

Show rod beat me to it! Loved your car by the way! The Corvair powered one was cool too!

 

showrod, I don't know if it still exists. Last I heard of it was in Memphis many years ago.

 

<<<<<< here is mine in my avatar, sorry i suck at loading pics

 

Would a Dodge be a "D" Bucket? I really love it, but $150,000???

Lots of good pics here:

This is the T bucket that started the whole 'hotrod' thing for me...

Late 1963, I'm 15 years old, still at school, sitting in the dentist's waiting room for another appointment to butcher my teeth. I sort through the pile of magazines, and THIS comes popping out!

October 1963 Car Craft, I've never seen anything like this before in my life! When I left the surgery, the magazine 'left' with me and I've been a hotrod nut ever since.

The little blue T bucket in the yellow square is the one that set my youthful hormones ablaze. I carried the feature page torn from the magazine around in my pocket all my highschool years.

Bpught a fresh copy of the magazine on Ebay USA a few years ago too!

Cheers, Glen.

 

Here in Michigan a lot of us older guys are going back to Buckets. Fun to drive and low maintaince.

 

How about a work in progress? Here is mine with its new shoes.

 

The Von Franco clone. I like it the best of all the clones I've seen. Not because it is dead nuts on. None of them are. But because it was built to the same quality as the original (he didn't over build it) and he drove the SHIT out of it. As Grabowski did his. The guy that bought it from him (to his credit) hasn't tried to restore it. It is probably in the same shape now that Norms was when he sold his.

 

I'm glad this thread has been so popular.

 

Well didn't you know "Everyone has one of those"

The usual quote I get when I tell people what I am building.

 

Mine! Getting ready for new Fronts....

 

Here are a couple pics of my ride. First year on the road and have loved every second of it!

 

Don Kendall, welcome aboard!
Really a big fan of your Mopar-powered T-Bucket.
Did you use quarter elliptics on the rear end?
Also, would love to see more pics of your unique interior seating position.
