Or a track roadster or a modified roadster or a .....

Never thought I'd ever see it again.

Simple but cool!

 

Our T bucket from 1975 - 1978

This is the same car about 2016. (New owner)

 

Just my opinion, but still the wildest, coolest, baddest T-Bucket ever! Built by Bill Wendt of (at the time) Denton, TX in the mid 70's.

 

I'd like to see a close up of that engine, it looks like a SBC w/ 2 x 2barrel intake.

 

Damn straight!
I was going to post it early on but thought the more contemporary build style would get some panties in a wad.

 

Pay close attention to the front radius rod frame mount & the drag link steering arm mount .mounted accordingly there would be zero bumpsteer . IMO

 

How about a partial shot. At the time ('93 Good Guys) I was concentrating
on the Nova but should have focused on the T, so I just cropped the pic
to half size.

I would love to hear those pipes @ W.O.T.!

 

Ask and you shall receive. I saw this video on a Fri morning and I was at guys house 1800 mi away just after noon on Mon buying it. As you can see I've made some changes

 

Jim Sentell's "White Trash" from the mid 70's!

 

Ha-haaa... that's a fun lil' rig!

 

Lots of buckets with slicks!

 

Isky goes campin'...

 

So as to not start another thread,

What are some of the common tricks for rad placement in a T? How does one maximize space and cooling while still achieving that perfect "tiny rad" look all the greats have?

 

Mine is mounted 1" below the frame rails , the shell is channelled about 4" .
