Hot Rods 60s style T-Buckets.

I think Hans may have picked up another speeding ticket. That car lost him his license. I lived a couple of blocks from him. When you heard a loud roar, if you looked at the street real quick you just saw him speed by. That Hilborn injection really made that car quick.

 

That's my dads old car.

^^^Front shot.Same car.^^^

 

^Wow!^ Fantastic car, there! Love the hoop, tonneau, slicks, Moon tank, raked injection stacks, and on an Ardun?!

 

Look at that stripe of fresh oil on the road under it what did he just blow?

 

Stole these from another thread.

 

whats the story with those radius rods on the 'birdie?

 

Kinda hairy up front, huh? Looks like 1/4" plate formed and welded to the end of some cut 'bones... and no brakes!

 

Here is my 60's styled project I'm working on at the moment...should be ready for the spring. Going for a "drag" look...

 

Very nice!!!

 

The famous Scotty's Muffler Special after it was sold and came to Illinois.

 

Undoubtedly nice because it had some very nice inspiration.

 

That's really cool! Is it a new build or a survivor?

 

thanks man, that's one of the best compliments I've ever had

yes, it's survived almost six years

awesome.
i think thats the first time i've seen a stock t front crossmember with a suicide perch on it.

neat.

 

It does look a little spooky. I wouldn't run any car without front brakes but lots of guys did back in the day.

That's what i thought when i first saw it.

Mickey Himsl's '26 half-a-touring T from Rod & Custom, June 1963.

Was on the cover in color, but my copy is too ragged to scan!
Also had a neat cutaway drawing by Pete Millar inside.

Awesome bucket, it is for sale or trade, he wants 28000.00.
It has an all aluminum frame. The story goes Mr. Roadster was going to do all aluminum frames, only one was made because they thought the aluminum wouldnt hold up. Well as he says it has.

Fuggin' Cool! Love the long rams and the rear rims!

 

I have always loved T Buckets. Here is a pic and short story on mine. Traded for it two years ago, was built in 1962 has a chrome frame, in bad shape and somebody before me painted it black. I am the forth owner of the car, been looking for who repainted it thinking around the mid '70s like 1976 as you can tell by the ship and satellite, signed on the cowl by the painter looks like SEVicke realy hard to tell. Been looking for more history on the car but came to a dead end, nobdy seems to know anything more then I know, still looking. Oh 1,100 miles last summer and no front brakes.

 

I bought this in the 1980`s .I think it was built in early 70`s

 

Hey lets keep em in 50s/60s style.
