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

You honestly think with forced induction that those spacers are anything but show ?

 

the only thing they do is look stupid.I 've tested stupid shit like this, even the giant spacer under the blower, all they do is nothing for performance

 

looks like a pontiac (?) wit ha cross ram, has the classic roadster look, beautiful

 

beautiful.

 

cool looking roadster, is that the smallest carburetor in the world?

 

Wcfb on a Pontiac ?

 

Definitely just for dress up, and that's ok too.
Here is the important bit of what I said: "although my guess would be that the owner thinks it looks good."

 

I've got two wcfb carbs on my Pontiac and it's working great.354 ci not a T though.heres my first hotrod .a T

 

Do you have anymore info on this car?? I’m in love with it

 

Cool T…but, move the body up on top of the frame and you would actually sit in the car and look out, (not over) the windshield…..just saying!

 

Denny Wood

 

Gene Chan

 

Novel T

 

Speedway Motors

 

I do likes me some T.

 

Uncertain T

 

At one time there must have been lots of front halves of model T pu boxes laying around CA.

 

kind of like what dean lowe said about sign painters--that was SUPPOSED to have said "tex's t' when it was first done way back

 

That’s Dode Martin in the yellow Dragmaster Volksrod in post #1327. Might be Kent Fuller in the red Volksrod. Still interested in building one until I checked vintage VW running gear prices!

 

that car was featured in the january issue of 1958 r & c. built by shelly feinberg: the "pink chariot". below is a shot from r&c with following pix from another publication.

 

-This car isn't scary enough let's throw a supercharged BOSS 429 on it
-What Olds had an IRS?

 

Thanks for this thread and all that have posted on it.I will never own a T bucket but consider my coupe to be a bucket with a roof. With the roof insert taken off it's an open air hot rod. As long as there are T buckets there will always be hot rods and vise versa. Drive on!!!............

 

A bucket is a fun little car

 

What's scary ?
"Modified" ( home built) IRS olds rear axle

 

just a question. why do almost all of these have slicks on the back. their not race car? show cars that don't get driven? i never raced mine because i drove mine everywhere even in rain. mine was my only car for several years.

 

Kinda depends on where you live. When I had mine, driving daily wasn't an option. With a foot of snow on the ground treaded rear tires won't make a damn bit of differance. And with a temp of ten below there wasn't enough heat in the sun to get my ass in that seat. I treated mine like a big toy. Pulled it out of the shop and played with it when I wanted to. I had another car for a DD. I ran slicks and no front brakes but it didn't stop me from rollin' up the long distance miles. Spent alot of time under over-passes. Like riding a motorcycle except you don't have to put your feet down when you stop. Oh, and being a little more aware of shit around you helps too. But the main reason I ran slicks and 12 spokes up front was because I liked the look.

 

This is awesome, thank you

 

Found a copy of this on eBay just now, bought it! Thanks again
