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

I love rods of all types {rat is not a type} ,
At shows,I go to a lot of them,meet some great new friends.
If they find out,I been building hotrods a long time < Started in the late 1950s>,I'll get ask now and then about something acting up on there rod??
There a few things that are common things wrong,,that are EZ fixs*,most of them are very hard to get the owner to know how bad it screws up his rod,even more so if he built it!!

Ackerman;>messed up/some even backward,,,Front tire off/out set;>bad front scrub,,, Poor frontend Geometry>bumpsteer,,,Poor shock mounts>so very little shock action,,,Steering wheel size under 13inchs>You can't control a big HP V8 in super low lbs. car with a go-cart wheel,,,,
There is more,but those above show up way too much. I really do like,even the rods with those mistakes,as fix is not hard to do,after getting passed rocks between there ears....

 

The history of the 1930s +'40s overpowers those from before

after the cuteness of the blue one I got back down to business

 

I love old drag Altereds. They just seem so right for the job. I always looked at the drag racing quest from a scientific point of view. If you're standing on a dragstrip starting line, looking down there to the lights at the end pondering the quickest (not necessarily fastest) way from here to there, why would you even consider making any engine tow a bunch of crap down there that isn't needed? You know, a hood, fenders, a roof, windows, ash trays, speakers, insulation, cupholders, and a bunch of extra heavy crap that only holds you back. It's like running along the ocean on a beach, up to your waist in water. Light = Quick. Ain't that what it's all about? Love the little bucket.
