    Have any more photos of the Hemi powered T, A Boner? That's got a nice overall look.

    Oh, my goodness! It looks even better in yellow, and the Hemi peeking out of the hood doesn't hurt it one bit either! That's a car I'd like to see in person.

    Bucket built in the 1990s in Gisborne NZ, by Wayne Holmberg (RIP). Wayne was documenting his 36 3 window build on here at the time of his death.

    Its actually even nicer in real life, than in this pikky.

    How did this thread morph from T-buckets to every kind of open Model T? Even got a Model A posted on the previous page...

    A very similar photo was used on the cover of Car Craft July 1965. Inside was a nice article about Dragmaster building a '27 RPU for Bill Krause using a Chevy engine he had lying around from one of his racing Jags.
    What I'd like to know is if anyone on the HAMB has one of the Dragmaster Ts or knows anyone who does? It would be nice to see if any of them still exist?

    No complaints here, especially if I get to see "new" and different cars.
    Anyone think this thread should be locked because it's not "by the book"?

    Hot Rod magazines June 2013 did a story on building a Speedway Tribute T. Easily found with a Google search. The article documented parts of the build, parts/components list and some of the costs. Certainly not everyone’s cup of tea but doable as a first project for those without a lot of experience. Probably less likely to get stalled and never finished as well as being fun.
