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

4 bar front! A bit wider than most, (27?) headers fit inside the frame rails!

 

Body doesn't look Ford of any year. JW

 

Old airstrip at an abandoned Army base in NY .
TOP-SECRET VINTAGE DRAGS put on last Sept by North East Vintage Drags organization. It was a blast with a bunch of great cars. No attitudes and heads up 1/8 mile racing on the old airstrip.

 

i sure would like to see another view of this one. i wonder if the shadow and lighting are altering the look of the body contour. anyway, i'll keep my eyes open. that's olds power, yes?

 

Can't say anything positive about the drag link ...

 

I looked at this for several minutes sure I'd seen this car before. Sure that it was a known car from "the day". Google is wise.

pretty sure this is the earlier of the two car craft project builds.

 

This is VERY cool. Would love to know more about it.

 

Didn't a T Roadster build by Car Craft have coil springs on all 4 corners? Corvair coils if I recall correctly. I was almost sure I had a "how to build it" book but the last time I looked for it I couldn't find it. Hm-m-m, maybe I never even had the book? Seems the car on the cover was yellow?

Sure did.

that was their second build. the first one (this) was built at the end of '64 into the first part of 1965. and the coil spring one was a few years later- '67. i have most or all the mag issues from the second and a few from the first. they both had cragar s/s wheels so that initially threw me.

 

also, yeah peterson did re-print the series a couple of times and the car was yellow. also it had dual quads whereas this obviously is 3x2.

 

Maybe it's parts of various bodies& homemade pieces , ya' know , like a real back in the cave days hotrod .

 

I think it may take more than a pair of T doors to call it something in particular. JW

 

Love the Ardun powered T, I think it may have been in a Rod and Custom, maybe one of the quarterly issues?

 

If i remember correctly the builders name is on the top of the radiator surround on the Ardun powered T. JW

 

That's Cotton Werksman's T . There's a very informative thread on here , I'm. Not savvy enough to show it , Google has it & others .

 

Here's one thread. A quick search on "Cotton Werksman" will flush out a few more.
