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

Howard's chain drive cover on Oldsmobile?

 

not Olds,
MEL?

 

the second car craft project build. below is the first they did only a few years earlier.

 

I'm almost positive that years ago (maybe bought when I was in my teens...late 60's and early 70's) I had a book that detailed the build of the yellow Car Craft car above. Am I dreaming or does anyone remember or have a copy of such a book?

Not dreaming Lynn.
I have one, bought new, might even be in the orig mailing envelope, that is now sorta worn, due to the many readings, over the decades since it was new.

it's been condensed from the monthly magazine installments into book form a few times i'm told. this version i have a copy of from 1973.

 

I really dig this little T.
Built on the Grabowski pattern, I'd like to know more about it, if anyone can help? Or share some more pics.
Thanks

 

At least I'm not just dreaming about having a book with the build of the yellow Car Craft T. It might have actually been that Hot Rod Magazine yearbook because the cover looks really familiar. Thank you.

No, there were the CC mag articles, then a "Feature car how-to-build" that was a reprint of just those articles in 1 book, then the condensed(shortened) version in YrBk13, which I also have. IIRC, the CC T-build book had red covers w/a pic of the T & Dick Scritchfield on the cover.
YrBk13 does have a hilarious cartoon involving buying & moving a '36 ford roadster custom - looking suspiciously like Spencers' '36, a Tbucket owned by a "bearded beatnik", & an Enterprising Local & his truck. .
