    I received so much flak on useing the "b" word, i have renamed my t-bucket. I am a newbie, so i must apologize to the hamber's i offended!
     
  2. Now I am kinda interested in this because it was built by L'ill John and I admire his work, this is a significant car......
    But the car just dosent belong on the HAMB, its not traditional enough by far. Not only the 'B' word but the 'B' product itself is tabo.

    Thats an interesting piece, esp the rear suspension. Did L'il himself do this? Excuse Doc, he's from the land of OZ and dosn't know that taboo is spelled with two 'o's.
    Hell'uva piece of work.

    I'm not sure I agree.

    One-Off custom carved aluminum is probably OK.

    Specially if its done by LJB.


    Geometry wise, this one looks like it will have Bumpsteer, though...

    There is another carved aluminum T bucket being built out west by an old dragster man named Bill by the handle of Wheelstang.

    How about "Machined from solid".

    Is that really*****era's work? Looks too bulky and Street Rod Billet for him.

    Is it just me, or will that front suspension not work?? It looks in the photos like the steering arms pivot on a horizontal axis, but the axles pivot vertically?? Or am I missing something in the photos?

    I was told ljb not only designed it , but did the machine work also. I am surprised i haven't had many comments about the santos built motor.

    If you are referring to the angle of the steering, i must agree. Several local oldtimers said they had heard of steering problems, especially on a bumpy turn. Due to the suspension drop i can't seem to resolve the issur, tho.

    The arms have pivots on both ends of the rods, which allows for the flexibility.
