A few pics of my T

Looks great! Fantastic job on the details.

 

Very RESPECTFUL car.

 

Looks great but I prefer the windshield posts straight up.

 

Neat, looks like a lot of fun.

 

Really nice work, front shocks are another feature I like.

 

That sure is a great looking little T,great job,I like it.

 

nice job i like it.

 

Nice T in the best Norm Grabowski tradition. I could never understand how T buckets went from his look to the brass era look that they devolved into.
Cool Ride.

 

Man that turned out nice, congats on getting it done.

 

It's a really cool looking ride and with all the good comments here, who says T buckets don't get respect. Well done!

 

I'm a huge fan of fiberglass cars, if there done right. Your's is done right. It's got that built in the 60's look. VERY nice job. Start a photo album here so we can check back & see your progress.

 

You did a very nice job on your car.Do you have any pictures of the 1/4 springs mounting to the frame(top/side/bottom)?

Just got in from work and checked the thread. Thanks for all the comments.

I've been driving it every chance I get, including a 230 mile road trip. It's blast to drive! 500 miles so far.

I agree. I think Norm got it right with the Lightnin' Bug. Even the Kookie car was a little over the top for me. Not much on the brass cars either.

I've got a lot of build pics. I'll work on an album.

This is what I have.

Hi MIke
In the last picture there is a short pipe at the rear of the mount.
Are you using that for a stop or what?

I wanted the rear bolt to be a backup to the others, since the rear bolts carry the most load. The two rear bolts should be strong enough to carry the load by themselves, but I thought a little extra safety factor couldn't hurt.

The tube serves as a solid spacer so the bolt could be tightened independent of the others.

If I was building this car over, I would fab a soild welded pocket to hold the rear of the spring.

The only thing I would do differently is to add wide whites;......it is cool just they way it is!

 

I've been considering it. Maybe some cheater slicks.

 

I'vr seen a LOT of T's and this is the best by far.................

 

Did you make all the stuff for the 1/4 springs?

 

I bought the tapered perch bolt bushings and c-shaped pieces for the batwings from the Welder Series. I built everything else.

 

good looking ride

 

awesome. Great stance, nice and tidy... hope to see you this summer! Thanks for using our parts!

Really like your car. It has the look. I've only built 1 T-bucket and I did that for Speedway Mtrs. back in the mid 90s. Used a chopped deuce shell on that one to, really makes the car.

 

Thanks for the kind words everybody.

I know "traditional" means different things to different people, but I tried to give the car my idea of a traditional look.

Royalshifter said it was a "very RESPECTFUL car". That means a lot on the HAMB (to me, at least).

I like your car. It shows good planning and excellent craftsmanship. Looks good!!!!---Brian

 

Bitchin' bucket!!!!!!!

 

Turned out great. Good work.

 

3 carbs! i'm diggin it!

 

nice ride...im in the process of building a bucket right now and if mine turns out half as nice as that, i'll be happy!

 

How much trouble would it be to get a pic of the bracket that holds your muffler/turnout in place? I'm running the same setup on my '29 and would really like to see how you made the rear bracket.
I really like the ideas on your car, and hope mine comes out as good. Thanks, Mike
