Hot Rods How about some love for the T-Bucket?

cool

 

@Evel has come a long way with the vision.

 

There needs to be some type of a listing for each of these Ts with regard to drive shaft length. I recall my oldest brothers 23T in the early 60s with a Desoto hemi had a 3" driveshaft (the length of the tube from weld to weld). Someone here can surely beat that!

 

All. the HP in the world is useless if you can't apply it to the ground, most of the examples shown will lose traction immediately .

 

and disc brakes are better than drums, efi better than carbs. you might be in the wrong forum.

 

That may be a good thing as with around 70% of your braking on the front and the front tires being so narrow, or with no front brakes at all you may not want it to hook up, you're not going to stop in a hurry. JW

 

WOW

 

We don't need no stink'n traction!

 

i'm sure most of you all know about piero's debut of his tweedy and latest youtube video.

 

Hell yea, this is a fantastic build, Lucky did a lot of work on this fine bucket.

 

i think it's fair to say if lucky didn't "inspire" piero it would have never happened. but yeah the man really stepped up and got stuff done. we should all be so lucky (sorry) to have buddies like that.

 

Remember our motto; if some is good, more is better, and too much is just enough!

 

@Snicklefritz65 I agree that Lucky was a major part of the build and was the impetus at the beginning. The series starts with He told me if I didn't build something, I'd get kicked out of the club.

about a minute 40 into this.
I also noticed that it was mentioned that Lucky's Bonneville build was also a serious extended thrash and caused personal turmoils. I get the feeling that these guys all have great, deep bonds that aren't explored on video which I'm glad not to be included for drama, and that each can rely on the others for not just the shirt off their back, but whatever it takes to get the latest project done. A car club where they are maturing but still can rely on their brothers. He also was a paying customer which wasn't detailed and doesn't need to be.
I hope that Harrison's second T also gets the group effort at some point. The part where he drove his current T was fun.
