    Well my brothers bucket is really coming along nice. Tonight we got the body put on the frame for the last time, and finally got to see it start to look finished. I am so happy for him, it looks like he'll have it done in time for the Turkey Rod Run. My dad's modified is also all shiny & nearing completion too. His will also be ready for Daytona too. It will be great to actually take two cars this year instead of none. The two t's will look great going down the road together, I am really excited for my dad and brother. Heres some pics, the blue t is my brothers, the black one is my dads:

    Very cool....looks like a lot of fun. I really like that copper color that the wheels are painted on the black one.

    I like em' both. I also really like that copper color on the wheels on the black one, especially with those "pie crust" slicks.

    Man they both look great! The blue one really came together fast with the 3 of you working on it.

    Also, it would take a whole bunch of pictures to illustrate the time and detail that went into you dad's car. I am happy for him as I recall him saying it has been a while since he had a driveable hot rod. I hope you guys have a blast at the Turkey Run! -Jeff

    The Black one is exactly how I would build a bucket. The stance is perfect and I have always loved those without the bed or turtledeck. All lakes modified style.

    Both look very good, really like th blue paint on your brothers and the copper painted wheels on your dad's.

    Tell your dad that I am glad to finally see that his project will be ready for the Turkey Run, and it was too bad he couldn't get it done for the Southeast Nats as it was a good event. Also tell him I still can't find the time to sneak off to Daytona this year, maybe next year. Hope you all have a great time there and I hope you don't need to take a sponge and a bucket to bail with.:eek: :D :D

    Hey thanks again for the nice words everybody. Here's a vid of my brother firing up his T with my dad:

    <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cITbECTLJh4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="350" width="425"><embed"></embed">

    I keep asking them both where are they gonna mount the br*** lanterns.......:p

    I like that look myself. Its kinda funny how they both built the same basic car two completely different ways, but I like them both

    I am happy to see him have something finished to take finally, it's been a while. Sorry that we'll miss you at Daytona though. I hope the weather is nice too, the past couple years have been great. I could install a bilge pump in the cars just in case....

    I gotta dig up some pics of his ch***is to post

    Both are really nice! I was going to say that your fathers is really bad *** but then I watched the video and heard your brothers. Both should be really proud. I can't imagine how cool it must be to have your father around to work on cars with your brother. That's just plain cool.

    Freaking awesome! I have been keeping track of both cars on the NTBA website. Very, VERY nice work. The black one is just plain bad ***, but the blue one isn't far behind. Man, like I needed MORE motivation to get mine done. Isn't there a video of the black one on the NTBA website?

    Dave, I'll tell him it looks good........I'll leave out the liberace part:D

    Hey thanks a ton. They are both really proud, and they deserve it. We are very very lucky to be able to do this together. We are all more like 3 best friends.

    Yeah, my dad(and brother)are both Dons. My dad gets around the internet:eek:
    I stay here...........

    You know, I am sure my dad has a video floating around somewhere. No, not the one with Paris Hilton though............

    Actually if all goes well he should be able to finally take his maiden voyage Sunday. I'll have to film that for him!

    Very nice work! The copper really sets off the black- but the blue and white combo is equally impressive

    Please, please, please post as many pictures as you can of your Dad's T. Especially with the body off the frame like inthe video. The stance ofhte car is about as perfect as you can make it. The color combo is perfect. I love it! I'd do a different motor, but only because I'm not a Chevy guy. LOVE THAT BLACK CAR!!!!

    Now about your brothers car....It's pretty damn nice too. And it's running an engine that's more my speed. I'm a Ford guy and I like seeing a Ford in a hot rod.
