Any pics of 23-25 Model T roadster hot rods? NOT T BUCKETS

Anyone have any pics of 23-25 Model T roadster hot rod? Not T buckets. Without the typical suicide front end.................Anyone?

 

T-buckets are roadsters. Unless it was a closed car, it was/is a roadster by definition.

 

I just went through a T roadster thread the other day..

 

Yep.. Not even a minute into searching, I found it.

Yes they are. I dont want to see that style of build

 

Skimmed through that thread the other day. I'm not good at explaining what I'm really looking for I guess. I have a pic somewhere. Would like to see more like and get some input/thoughts.

 

I'm thinking you want to see the older style T with the turtle deck?

 

The only one you need to see..

 

Drats! I was in the process of uploading another shot of Isky's T to my PhotoBucket!

 

Oh Baby! This one rules!

 

Check this thread out, takes a few pages to get to car photos. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=502216&highlight=gow+jobs&page=4

 

Angry Frenchman has one of the nicest around these parts, check him out, maybe he'll chime in.

 

The Multi Aldrich T, the one we want to see restored. Bob

 

I think you're looking for T's that are not fad-T's like the late 60's into the early 80's.

Like this...



But not this...



I think a lot of guys do the second style because they can order a kit and build it totally from a catalog without making any stylistic choices. They build it without thought of originality. And that isn't always a bad thing, just makes things boring.

The parts I'm gathering to do my T will not be like the second car. Nor like like that of the first car either. My vision is a little different.

 

This ones about as good as it gets, and luckily local so I get to see it.

 

I actually think THIS is the only one he needs to see!!!!

Anyone have more info on this?

 

Any more info on this?

 

50Fraud on here used to own that one..

 

T Bucket or Fad T? What's in a name? I used to like the Fad T's when I was young and going to the car shows, but they got REALLY over done. So much so, I honestly didn't know they could be built any other way. It's what kept me from building one for a long time. I thought they HAD to have all that extra chrome **** bolted to them. The HAMB gave me a new out look on them. My T Bucket isn't traditional, but it's not a Fad T either. It's just a hot rod.

And if they're not Fad T's aren't they still T Buckets? Isn't "T Bucket" a reference to the seating arrangements most have?

 

I too had a bad taste in my mouth over all the gaudy fad t's, but when I saw Derek Boling's Dodge I knew I could do the same with a T. So I had him build me a frame and rounded up enough parts to peice together my touring modified! I hope to finish it soon, I made it a roller today and will be installing engine and trans this week.

 

Very cool, but them pictures are mighty small.. I dig the proportions of it however.

 

Here's one I overlooked.. Pure awesomeness.

 

Thanx, I know they are small but I took them with my razor phone. I cant help it I live in the past!

 

That's the '27 Highboy that Vern Tardel's son Rex built...everything in the right place, the car is very well thought out. (most '27s on Deuce rails are 'long-nosed', and out of proportion. This one has the 'correct' profile)
