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

a favorite of mine.

wild!

 

it's that time again boys and girls!

 

Ya beat me. This is happening tonight, the 6th at 7PM PST.

Loved it.

 

Seen this many times,,, studied the mutt.
First time that I've noticed the steering spokes

 

oh man how did i not notice the wheel spokes? hope that dog was just resting.

 

yeah i'm hooked on this. first tweedy (well, and previous mfs) and now this one. i like how they preserve the car's history while making it also johnny's and better engineered too.

 

a couple screen shots. Go ahead and watch it!

 

I dig all of those.
It's funny how often I see kids posing in Ts.

 

Got it rolling

 

nice! and thanks for the update.

 

Cool. Are you going to do a build thread for it so we can keep up with progress or just continue to post updates here?

Need some help on a project that is not HAMB friendly. In looking at the windshields of buckets posted here, there are those with a flat cowl and those with a curved cowl. I'm figuring that those with a flat cowl are repro gl*** bodies and the manufacturer offers windshield frames and those repro bodies with curved cowls can use OE or repro windshield frames offered by Speedway Motors etc. My project has a flat cowl and I'm looking at building a frame using 1/2" angle iron. As always, thanks in advance for your thoughts and ideas.

 

@denis4x4 If I am reading this correctly, you need a flat base windshield.
An early (1925 and earlier) T will be flat at cowl and base of windshield like post #5534.
A late (1926-7) T will have the curved cowl and windshield like post #3353.
Both styles of body and windshields are reproduced.
There are a number of Original frames out there, though most tend to be along the east coast.
If you are interested in new, not exact frames or raw material to do your own, check this site.

As with any fabricated part, the person is the most important part of the result. However I had a hand built windshield on mine and it was not pretty up close. I found a used aftermarket one to replace it.

 

If going with speedway for examples of the body shape, here's the 27
