So... Can a Fiberglass T-Bucket that's 40 years old get some respect??

It was good enough for Kent Fuller and Andy Brizio

 

It has my respect. Cool wheels, cool paint, even the top is cool.

 

Hey, i owned one of the T-buckets in this book an regret selling it. Go for it.

 

Hey : many years ago it was cool to put fibergl*** on race cars. This car does deserve some respect due to when it was constructed and the parts on it. I have a 71 year old best friend hot rod buddy that does not like my 40 willys lifted in the front. So I told him that all of the so called goofy stuff -experiments and things that were tried and faded away is all part of what got rodding where it is today, Which is no place I want to be !!!!!

 

To put things in "traditional" perspective, the first fibergl*** T-Bucket bodies were produced over 50 years ago in 1957.

See "The Real History of the Fibergl*** T-Bucket Body"

 

I can respect it. Mine was originally built in 1971. It has it's share of rock chips, some of the chrome is a little pitted and the interior is kinda of worn. But it's the most fun to drive thing i've ever owned. It gets more comments, thumbs ups ang people yelling "Cool car" than anything i've ever owned. I even got a thumbs up from the Fresno PD. That was running the old 327 with open headers, gear drive and lopey cam. People walk right past my '56 Chevy to check out the T-Bucket.

I don't have a heart attack when the grandkids drag a shoe on the side while climbing in or out of it. I even let kids sit in it at shows. How many guys with their $$$$$ '32 will do that? I even drive it to work (although it is parked in a parking garage) I think Goober nailed it pretty good.

 

Enjoy

 

Thats a cool bucket go for it.


Here is a pic of mine a 20 year old build.

 

thats a great bucket with history.
ive sold my old project bucket but kept the spare body i had with it. now i have a T buggy. LOL.
