Hot Rods How about some love for the T-Bucket?

from the 1932 movie 'hot saturday' with cary grant. pretty good flick.

here's another couple of shots .

 

that guy's local to me. forgot his name but a pretty good guy. if i recall the engine, three speed stick, and rear came out of a '56 chevy. built it in his basement i think. note the neat home-made spacer manifolds between the head and roadster headers for under car exhaust. massachusetts had some exhaust regs when the car was built.

 

This was the T that got me hooked and featured in a hand-me-down 1964 issue of Hot Rod (that I still have) when I was maybe five or so.

 

Always liked this pic...

 

Getting ready to tear mine down for the final weld up .

 

PeteE...need some chassis detail pics, Bud!

 

something different, seen in Seligman Route 66

 

A Cushman-T? Seriously?

 

Norm Letendre from Ludlow, Mass.

 

Do you have a build thread on this? I like what I see...

 

Mine from a few years back.
Can't remember where it was but it's wearing race numbers and my race tyres...

 

Man do I love tourings!!!! What a cool car and a happy smile on the driver

 

Fabulous Joe Kerr built modified “T”!

 

Any picture from front and rear? That is one beautiful car!

 

That actually looks like a Dodge body. It's not a Ford T. What a great car! ^^^^^^^^^^^

 

Oh look. The dreaded, undriveable, totally unsafe, cowl steering set-up. Maybe somebody ought to tell him the HAMB doesn't approve.

 

Here's one my dad owned from the mid 70's to about 1999 or so. My parents drove away from their wedding in it. I'd like to find it someday. The first pic is my parents cruising down Grand at the Iowa State Fairgrounds around 1975. Remaining pics are when it was a project car being "rebuilt" in the 80's in our walk out basement. It never was rebuilt and was sold as a roller with an SBC. The 4 cam Ford motor was sold when dad died in 06.

 

Sez who????....

 

Loudbang, that one is CRAZY!
Would I change things, sure, but blown early hemi, jag rear, tons of chrome, wild rake, neat!
