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

As per John Morehead: Army Ashley’s T.

 

Love the bucket but the "A" in the background has about the ultimate stance! I severely miss the neighborhood hot rod shops. Somehow a phone person on an 800 line just ain't the same.

 

A thing of beauty.

 

That is about as clean and basic example of a '23 T roadster yet posted in 31 pages! That's a 100 point car.

 

man that's cool. the color is so vivid but that cowl looks like a dodge to me.

 

IMHO nose is wrong for the style of that T

 

My Dad built me a T Bucket when I was twelve years old. Scaled down with a V860 engine. Wish I could find it for my son...

 

now that is too cool!! maybe because i have just about everything to build one. the only difference is i have a '33 motor and stock A wheels. don't say get on it either. it is in the works after the other 11 cars.

i just can't get over it. and i gotta believe the guy who built it is on the hamb. he switched off comments for the video so i can't directly gush over it like a teen aged girl.

one of the first cars I built was a t bucket

 

Wow that Tipsy T at the suede palace is first class. Do yourself a favor and check out that link that @Snicklefritz65 put up. Its amazing and a great read from John Morehead, cheers

 

Here’s mine from years pass.

 

A typical old-style stripped-down Model T roadster. On an A chassis, I believe. But notice the positioning of the turtle deck. Normally, there's a panel underneath and the turtle deck is mounted about 4 inches or so higher. The panel is removed and the turtle deck now sits right down on the frame just as the main portion of the body does.
Jaunty. Early radical. I like it.
