Features **Model T buckets/RPU's/Roadster/Tourings official photo thread**

Time for another bump...we need more t-buckets! Just to stir some stuff up, here aremy current 5 favorite t-buckets. Feel free to discuss...

1) @Royalshifter 's killer bucket.
2) Grabowski's Kookie Car
3) Chip's @need louvers ? Ugly Bucket
4) That one's mine. Perhaps a little too Fad-T for some...too bad.
5) @showrod 's Von Esser Von-T

 

Norm's T (in either of his iterations) will always be my favorite. It's the originator, it's just as wild and sinister as ever.



That being said, I love the shit out of Royalshifter's car too, it's right in every sense of the word.

But his car, man...just bums me out that the stars didn't align for me to own this car.

 

I smell what you're stepping in with that little black bucket. Very simple and clean. Change up the headers, and I might be wanting to jump of the ledge with you. You'll notice none of my picks have those "sprint car" style headers on them. Just can't feel them.

 

Several years ago after my son met an incredible bunch of Texas car guys from Wellington, Texas (Road Rockets) I got to meet them. The coolest of them took my son and left me to be "geezer sat" by Flattop Bob and Linda. We watched an amazing stash of homemade "Norm" movies. One was done by Norm driving with one hand and running the camera with the other. He wasn't doing really well with either hand. The next year Bob Introduced me to Norm at Paso. I remember seeing that T at the first Oakland Roadster Show I went to in '59. Thanks for the video!!!

 

Yeah I've never been one for that style of pipes either, but with the exception of a few of the early build photos where it had headers, it's always ran em. If it were me, I'd probably run stock SBC ramhorn manifolds, I've always thought they look cleanest.

 

Yup. For me it's the Lightning Bug version with the blower, though. The first and the best.

 

my old T again..

 

Paul, I lean towards the earlier T bodies but for the "late model" T's I think you about nailed it.

 

I posted pics of this one when I got it in July, I never posted the finished pictures.

 

Stealin' shit off eBay again...

 

What's with the head lights? They look like sauce pans.

 

Don't get me started above.

Beautiful California weather lately. So I took the UGLY roadster for a ride.

Gary

 

Ugly?

 

My thought too....

 

Bobtail's OK ,built kind of T like in 1959 ,but it's 1928A by me,I still drive it,was getting lunch a few days ago at this hotdog place thats been here in Miami Fl started selling dogs in 1963.The rack on back is off most of the time,is only on when my wife comes along for her wheelchair,two bolts hold all of rack when on.

 

Always lookin good Dana JW

 

Just scroll on past, Gary, just scroll on past.....

 

Their fuckin with me brother.

 

Mine with mags a few years back

 

Looks like a fun ride!

 

Stole these from the vintage picture thread

 

Awesome pictures. All three of those cars in the second picture are awesome

 

Here's a shot om my old track roadster pickup and a couple construction shots of a bigger rpu that I started on in October. I'm using a lot of inventory I had and fabricating everything I can.

 

A fw more...

 

Nice to see one without sprint car type headers.

 

+1 on the ram's horns...but minus several style points for the ginormous steering wheel. I would have to put C-notches in my thighs to drive this one!
