T-buckets.... HAMB friendly, or not??

i've wanted a t-bucket since high school days and just picked one up.... 23 ford t... 350/ power glide, vette rearend, lots of chrome.. it's a fiberglass replica of course.. is it HAMB friendly or not?? before i post any pictures..

 

I got 1 if that helps...ha ha

 

Interesting...well the first one was built around mid 1950's maybe earlier?

 

The early steel bodied T's are one thing the Total Performance type T's are quite a different thing. I wouldn't mind a pre 1965 build style project here on the HAMB. Good luck with your build. Bob

 

all is cool if it is built traditionally

 

This should keep you busy for a while

I have one and post pics when it's relative to a thread. My T isn't traditional enough for the HAMB nazi's, so I limit it's exposure. Doesn't bother me, I just try to comply with the standards here.

I say post your pics and let us see what you got. If you want a T Buckets only site, try:
tbucketeers.com

Nothing but buckets over there and no Nazi's.

Here's mine. Not HAMB compliant, but a lot of fun!

 

Still dig it! O/T or not. Nice and simple and CLEAN.

 

Fred, you are full of shit, your T would fit in a 63 HRM just fine!

 

'84 SBC, th350 tranny, S-10 rearend, BILLET goodies....... nope. Not even close, but thanks.

 

one of the best lookin' T's , Fred , clean an simple

sure reminds me of the fifties - sixties

I like em. still a hot rod.

 

We hate them! Don't post any!

 

One of my favs.

 

I'm amazed at how close a T-bucket and a Modified are. It's seems that a few things could be changed and you'd have either.

 

I'd say go for it. Late 70's style is coming back! Look at what has happened with the whole van craze. Maybe jag rear ends and Mags will be all the rage again in a few years! IRS and th350's aren't really my thing, but I'd say there's a place for your build. The tradition Nazis are just hipsters anyway, just the same as the 'bikers' who scoff at a guy riding rice.

Your converse are not shop shoes. Buy boots.

 

I think buckets will always be HAMB friendly. They WERE the first hot rod material.

 

Here is mine. Currently in pieces as I had a couple bugs to sort out.

 

ok... here's a couple of pictures of it

 

Looks nice! Now tell anyone who hates it to fuck themselves!

 

Buckets are a great way for someone who wants to get into hot rodding started, or they can be built by rodders with years of experience. Who among us (at least us older guys) didn't get our first exposure to hot rodding via Norms T on 77 SS Strip ?

Henry steel no fiberglass and no 350 chevy,the rear end is a 9 inch ford third member with jag components

 

What is wrong with glass and sbc engines ? You didn't draw the line at coil overs on the back.


Don

 

or the whole rear end, any ways I like it

 

If that statement was solid half the hot rods ever built would be not HAMB friendly. So please Rustyryder can we have an explanation?

 

Haha bingo

 

Here's mine glass and a sbc!

 

Heres mine, i just painted the rims black & put the top on.It folds down & as side curtains.I Built it in 1998-99 & it has about 71 K miles on it.I built it dirt cheap, but every year the cost goes up from Winter "repairs" so now i'm about $5700 into it.

Here's mine, still building on it...

 

This, where I started is HAMB terrible


This, where I ended up is HAMB acceptable.
