More news at Radshit Methane Refineries....while progress is still being made in preparation for HAMB Gas Party 2004. I picked up this little bucket up in a trade and decided ...what better way to spend the summer in a roadster? Evidently this car had a little history....somebody built it but never finished it...at least never got as far as putting engine mounts in it....then some kids got a hold of it and used it for a means of pushing each other around in it for thrill rides, but now the nailhead is in it....and it's getting ready for more roadworthy tasks.... It is all steel with a door that fits nice....I will have to update the front suspension some...but not much and build a floor for her.... Will post some more pics as work progresses, plus we have a buddy's 27 T-bucket in the back next to mine getting the '53 331 Caddy motor installed and a modified frame for a better stance......
The body is close to straight and needs only a little more primer ...then....some flaked out purple or sum'tim...
Hi- Neal- that T looks like the "BIG -T".Monogram model they made years back!I like the high back panel-AN METAL TOO!lUCKY bASTIOD-yOU!Are you sure ya don't wanna trade with me?
Hey amn, are you still coming through OKC anytime soon? Or is this part of your trade fodder you already picked up?
I have been a trading fooo! lately.....I started with a 450 dollar 59 F-100 Ford truck traded that for a 57 Chevy 2dr then traded that for a T-bucket and 36 Ford coupe......now I'm ready for a lull in the storm...and build a couple cars for this summer.........and downsize the collection to something more manageable......just keep the hot rods....
Did my eyes deceive me or are those cragars off of the H.A.G and loose in the yard?Hmmmmmm might have to plan a road trip to Rads house ...see what kinda goodies are lying around.
Very cool, Radshit. Stance is better than most t-buckets too I think, -like Choprod said; it has that early sixties monogram-thing going. Dont go easy on the chrome that mill...
Is it me, im havn bad fucking luck... Been looking for a 50s chebbie and T bucket for the last 5 months, and no such luck...... People are getn some good ass trades, sep me... Bahhhh... Nice car, good luck steve-
Sailor...I agree...nothing looks better then a chromed out nailhead..... This little car is going to get my favorite color......Chrome.....
Radshit that thing looks awesome. Stance is really cool how it is, kinda Outlaw lookin. I'd vote to pass on the purple though...hows about gold 'flake with white firewall & tuck/roll interior?
A pic of the Buick Nailhead installed.....thanks to Zeke.. Pics of the upcoming front suspension re-work soon.....
hey radsheet could you send me a picture of that steering set up ftom the imside and out? thanks draglinkscc@cfl.rr.com
CAS.....way bitching T....love that flake...... Thanks Dan.....I need to take more pics then I do....... I'm drawing some rough sketches now....but this T is going to get a C-cab and a heavy front rake and channel.....I'll post a few ideas I have soon....
<font color="green">Oooooooohhhhhhh! Uncertain T with a little "C" cab thrown in..... I like it! </font>
Neal, since I'm gonna be selling my Buick, and I won't need them, I think I would like to donate something cool to that project. I will be sending you the hard to find nailhead spark plug wire covers. you gotta have them for that motor since it's exposed. Chrome them up too!
Thanks John, I could use those....as I will be chroming everything but the block on this engine.......chrome...my favorite color........
rad - cool project. 'course you'll prolly be drivin' yours before i get the frame built for mine. you doin' manual or auto tranny? cas - if that's the bucket i saw at the pileup that's reeeeeaaallllly cool. even it it's not, it's still reeeeeaaallllly cool.
