Projects The bucket of ugly! A de-uglifying thread...

Ohhh. Well sure, that too...of course.

 

Not a thing wrong with the SBC, but that conglomeration of sheet metal that is posing as a body is the shits!

 

Come on guys......it looks just like mine except its Red.
I bet he copied it from a drawing he did of one in Pre School. JW

 

No, I'm laughing at the cowl.....sort of looks like a 33-34 Ford cowl.

 

I couldn't beat the '' Ugly'' out of that, but i could put it of its (and our) misery. JW

 

That one could use an S-10 BODY swap

Good game! I say good game!

 

I think he's calling it a 27 because he used 27 individual, flat pieces of sheet metal to make it!

That one at least comes a little closer to actually resembling a T bucket.

 

Engine in yet?

 

Nice little T Roadster that was for sale at the roadster show,

I saw that one there, it was very cool. JW

 

That's Kelly Haifley's T. It really gets...like a 4 wheeled chopper.

 

There was another really nice yellow TBucket in the swap meet area Saturday afternoon, and it was priced right, too! ($13,000.00). It was a fairly fresh Spirt Industries build, extended body, steelies painted to match, white interior, etc. I got busy talking to the guy and forgot to take any pics. Anyone else get any?

I most likely did but won't be able to post till i get back to NZ after Speed Week. JW

 

Sounds nice, how much was chromed, and would the SBC (guessing) need much retrofitting?

 

Good guess! Not a lot, it was a really nice looking little car. It had a decent amount of chrome on it. Personally, there was very little I thought needed to be changed on it. It was from up north somewhere, Montana, Wyoming, or Idaho.

I will try and find it in my camera, only 2000 + pics on the card. JW

 

The one I posted in Post #10788 with a rack and pinion has been relisted after some work and a new owner.
Was 6K, the guy cleaned it up and powder coated the front end (per description). Now at 8K (EDIT, 8.5K). Still a decent deal, considering most start at 12K and up...

"I purchased this from a fellow club members estate. I was in storage for 3 years and fired right up when I went to look at it. The chrome frontend was pitted and plating was coming off. I removed it all and had it powder coated. 'All lights work it stops real well, new rear rims and tires and a lot more. It has 350/350 9' rear. Please call for further info.MAY TRADE"
