    I went to pick up this '61 Plymouth Belve that has some rare factory Dual Antenna's and found this T-Bucket rotting away. I spoke with the owner but it was a NO SALE!!!

    You can see the rotted cover he had on it before it rotted away.

    People never cease to amaze me that they would let a nice bucket-T rot away rather than get off their lazy butt and get it under a weather proof cover.

    I'm really glad that you were able to rescue the Belvedere, oldwood, but all I can say about the T-Bucket is... NO!!! :eek:

    I think the T is ashamed of its 70's appearance and is hiding in the bush.

    Damn shame about the T. If I was gonna fix it someday I'd at least cover it.

    I like the dual rear antennas - Do they repro those?

  12. One good thing about the T-Bucket is that the Body won't "rust" away.

    Shame about the bucket, looks like it was a nice finished car at one time. Good job on the Plymouth though, looks like it's got all of it's headlight bezels in place, and for whatever reason, those seem impossible to find for '61's.
