Pictures of traditional T-buckets?

The red one is one of the few non famous cars that really does it for me.

 

Here is a 70's style T That I just found out that it was in sept 1981 Street Rod mag.

 

Love the stance and that windshield is crazy!

Can we get some other pics and details of this car? Like what's up with that windshield? What's the engine? etc....

 

This T is totally WICKED, has 2 blowers.

 

Not my fav. bodies...but i've saved a few pics over the years

 

another fav...

 

lol...

 

Hey Scott... the nice body, the green one... the one hidden away up-up-up high... that one is going to be a 40's era banger powered car with all the parts I've been saving for a few years.

The one we're talking about here is a body I bought in Turlock that is just panels... A quick one to throw together and beat on...

This is definately my favorite t bucket ever! I wish I could have gotten a ride in that car before I left to come out here to Denver. If I remember right, the exhaust treatment on this t is really creative as well. All of Jack's rods are great, he just has a great sense of coolness.

 

Very nicely done.

 

It seems no one's mentioned Norm's pre-Kookie, Lightnin' Bug. Here's VonFranco's recreation...

Gl*** t-body, stretched 4" and narrowed 3" , 6 cly Chevy, alum powerglide, 40 rear end, 5" dropped axle, old boat windshield, rag interior, shaved cowling , with metal t dash

 

Ron Bertrum's "Fad T". Built using a vintage Cal Automotive kit from the Sixties.

 

E. Rosie Roussel's restored Fifties bucket.

 

Two trad-style Total T kits. (Sorry for the poor quality, it is a scan from the Total Performance catalog.)

 

A lot of folks may be tired of seeing it but heres a pic of mine again. It may not be "traditional" but I like it.

 

Here is shot of one my Dad took in 1944 somewhere in the Los Angeles area.

Always liked it.

If the picture attachment doesn't work e-mail me and I send it to you.

mine

 

easy to understand VonFranco's obsession with that car,
it is my favorite as well, would like to see it with the little blower on top too

 

I know,I know, mine's a '26 and it's a mod, but my point, sit in them not on them. I'm 6', it's tight but it can be done.

 

Built the car in about 5 months for the kkoa show in Dennison Texas about 2 years ago. Lengthen the body 4 inch's and narrowed it about 3, 40 rear end flipped over so the spring is in the front, 35 Chevy gas tank, caddy tail lights , Chevy 6 , alum powergide, shaved cowling , metal t dash, old speed boat windshield cut down, 5" tube axle 40 brakes, , the things thats kool is the cooling system, the water pump is mount solid to the frame, water runs through the home made intake in a 3'" copper tube and back around to the block, the radiator is 14" tall and actually runs kinda cool. Had it in Starbirds in Wichita after that and broke the steering box, hasn't seen day light since, but plans are in the works to fix it and get'er back out. Would like to have her in Salina this year. It is a gas to drive . We'll see if i make it or not, got lots of other stuff going on . Thanks for the comments.

 

Sam - if I were given a nice little body - I'd do something like THIS!!



I totally stole this from the board a while ago to prove to my Brother that T's could be cool....and cheap!

 

I'm pretty sure this one was built in the 70's but it is definately wild looking. I love the stance and the wide tires all the way around. Oh yeah, the Hemi helps too. LOL

 

The Wild Mouse - circa Sept./Oct. 1963

 

Otie Smith's AA/A T-bucket shown at the North Central U.S. Grand Finale Championship in 1963 (Alton, Illinois track).

 

Ken Frederick's "Iced T" circa Fall 1963. Note the carriage lamps. Whether you like carriage lamps or not, this proves that they are traditional. Tradition is what tradition is. It may not always match the perfect nostalgic image of popular thought. Also note that this "Fad T" is a '27.

 

Wow two of my cars in the same thread and I helped build Franco's, I feel like a hero.

 

Bill Griffith's "was a coupe, now a roadster" T in Spring 1962.

 

**** Robert's T. Build started in 1949. Photo circa early 1962. Still flathead powered in 1962! A rarity.
