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

I posted some current ads for projects over in the OT section in the Inexpensive thread. Seems to be a lot in central CA area.

 

ivo's old car with some updates.

 

Nice! I don't remember seeing those pics of Ivo's before!

 

i think one of my little books or hrm special editions covered the interior work. barris i think.

 

super cool.

 

Is that the one that was described as having the '32 style line in the frame a while back?
Somebody spent a lot of time getting that frame to follow the body curve beautifully.

EDIT: found it,

love that shot,
almost enough to swap my turtle deck for a little truck bed

 

@Paul I'm a bed fan, but yours is *****in' as it is.
I have a feeling it would need a longer bed, too.

More the length of this Model A racing the T.

 

fwiw i think it's harder to pull off the turtle deck look but paul's car nails it.

and that is a spectacular shot of norm's car.

 

That was a lot of work “profiling” a 32 frame to follow a T body but personally, I don’t think it works. It looks too “slab sided”. At first I thought it was the color, but even in a lighter color it makes a little, jaunty T look to bulky.
It is a bit more cl***y than the following picture with the T body perched atop a chrome frame. And to think, when I built my T bucket in high school I would have given my left nut to be able to chrome the frame. lol. At least mine was channeled some.

 

I want to see the inside of this car. Master cylinder on the firewall. It might show what a good brake pedal ***embly looks like…

 

Don Lokey Fresno Ca complete chrome ch***is by California Chrome.
I like this version, then Don took it to Barris and changed it.
Here is the 1966 6' Fresno Autorama trophy for that car, I just finished restoring it.
