NEAT...........a buddy of mine has one, burnt orange paint, black top, powered by a Gurney-Westlake head Ford and even has one of those 70's murals airbrushed on the gas tank....

 

Cool! Well, it's a Dan Woods car for sure, but I'm kinda doubting its the car I showed in the article. I'm seeing a bunch of differences in the steering gear (wheels and column and drag link is underslung on the feature car) and just general differences in the chassis, not to mention the Chevy instead of the Buick. Dan built lots of chassis throught the seventies and many were sold as kits or rollers.

 

That is one sweet T! I have seen it all over the Web!

 

Very cool find! It needs to be restored for sure! Your now the a caretaker!

 

Dan helped me in my move from Chicago to California. Worked with him through the 70s building T buckets and moving with him to central california doing doing architectural metalwork through the 90s and beyond. Good friend to me, see him every now and then.

................fantastic find.....................hope ya do something with it Mr Flootie

 

just watch out on those front hoops , they seem a little perished in the photos ......

cheers mate

 

this is true. I remember going to his shop in the mid 70's and dreaming.

 

I think that's the one I remember being calld "TangerineT" whick was painted across the cowl in front of the windshield.

 

They look worse in the pictures...just a little surface patina...can i say patina on here?

 

Stop by anytime, Don

 

Interesting that you would mention Carl. The Rod Factory built the frame for my t-bucket back in the 80's, and helped out gathering parts for it. There are some striking similarities between these two t-buckets. In fact, I have the exact same headers on my bucket!

 

Nice looking T....

^^^Thanks! I like the looks of your T, but I have to vote for the full resto route. It's what the car would want.

 

That is as cool as all get-out.

Very cool "T". I like the low channeled look! And the Dan Woods history is very cool stuff!

Tempting, but I just bought my own Time capsule "T" project.....

 

no one who told you it needed to be restored "right" is acutally going to buy it.....
good luck though

 

id love to restore it , but im quite sure I do not have enough money to even buy it , I cant afford to pay attention let alone do this car justice , hope someone steps up an restores it , good luck

 

So should I cancel my bids then?

 

no, let us all know when you win it, so we can tell you how to fix it....

 

If I win it, I sure as hell won't be asking this lot what to do with it !

 

Let me beat Dooley to the punch here, and register my vote for rebar hairpins...

 

Perfect example of why i wouldn't ask on here, even though I know you were just joking
