Project T-bucket...or .....another old hotrod gets saved....

[Radshit]

More news at Radshit Methane Refineries....while progress is still being made in preparation for HAMB Gas Party 2004.

I picked up this little bucket up in a trade and decided ...what better way to spend the summer in a roadster?

Evidently this car had a little history....somebody built it but never finished it...at least never got as far as putting engine mounts in it....then some kids got a hold of it and used it for a means of pushing each other around in it for thrill rides, but now the nailhead is in it....and it's getting ready for more roadworthy tasks....


It is all steel with a door that fits nice....I will have to update the front suspension some...but not much and build a floor for her....

Will post some more pics as work progresses, plus we have a buddy's 27 T-bucket in the back next to mine getting the '53 331 Caddy motor installed and a modified frame for a better stance......

[Radshit]

The body is close to straight and needs only a little more primer ...then....some flaked out purple or sum'tim...

More pics of the nailhead installed and some suspension mods...

[Roothawg]

Hey amn, are you still coming through OKC anytime soon? Or is this part of your trade fodder you already picked up?

[ratster]

You are a trading fool. Bring that thing on out with you. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Radshit]

I have been a trading fooo! lately.....I started with a 450 dollar 59 F-100 Ford truck traded that for a 57 Chevy 2dr then traded that for a T-bucket and 36 Ford coupe......now I'm ready for a lull in the storm...and build a couple cars for this summer.........and downsize the collection to something more manageable......just keep the hot rods.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Very cool, Radshit. Stance is better than most t-buckets too I think, -like Choprod said; it has that early sixties monogram-thing going. Dont go easy on the chrome that mill...

[2tall2beahotrodder]

Bahhhh...

Nice car, good luck

steve-

[Radshit]

Sailor...I agree...nothing looks better then a chromed out nailhead.....

This little car is going to get my favorite color......Chrome.....

[cheaterslick]

Radshit that thing looks awesome. Stance is really cool how it is, kinda Outlaw lookin. I'd vote to pass on the purple though...hows about gold 'flake with white firewall & tuck/roll interior?

[Radshit]

Pretty damn cool Radshit. I really like the look of a Nailhead in a T.
Here's a pic of mine. http://home.wi.rr.com/schreindl/pics/T%201.jpg

[Spedley]

Whoa! That metalflake is kickass! I want that bucket too.

[sport]

cool flake job.I like the nail head too/

[Radshit]

CAS.....way bitching T....love that flake......

Thanks Dan.....I need to take more pics then I do.......

I'm drawing some rough sketches now....but this T is going to get a C-cab and a heavy front rake and channel.....I'll post a few ideas I have soon....

[Radshit]

Maybe a little Uncertain T influence.....

[CURIOUS RASH]

<font color="green">Oooooooohhhhhhh!

Uncertain T with a little "C" cab thrown in.....

I like it! </font>

[CAS]

Thanks guys.
The C cab idea would be BADASS. Definately not the normal T.
I dig it.

Neal, since I'm gonna be selling my Buick, and I won't need them, I think I would like to donate something cool to that
project. I will be sending you the hard to find nailhead spark plug wire covers. you gotta have them for that motor since it's exposed. Chrome them up too!

[Radshit]

Thanks John, I could use those....as I will be chroming everything but the block on this engine.......chrome...my favorite color........

[atch]

rad - cool project. 'course you'll prolly be drivin' yours before i get the frame built for mine. you doin' manual or auto tranny?

cas - if that's the bucket i saw at the pileup that's reeeeeaaallllly cool. even it it's not, it's still reeeeeaaallllly cool.
