Been working trying to get the T-Bucket back together. I finally got it painted (flat black Dupli-Color rattle can) today then started mocking up the interior. The first pic is the old interior.

I try to post this every Memorial day: http://www.gunblast.com/MOH.htm One of these stories is about one of my old high school friends, Marine Lance Cpl. Steven Palmquist. I remember the last time i saw him. It way May 1967. He was driving a red and white '56 Chevy 4 door hardtop...

I found out a couple of weeks ago i'm going to be a great grandpa. It will be our 1st great grandchild and my son's 1st grandchild. He has one daughter, two sons (one died from crib death at two weeks old but he was still my grandchild) and a step son. One was born on the 3rd, one on the 7th...

I was at the local NAPA paint store looking for single stage flat black paint for the T-Bucket today and ran across this... http://www.martinsenour-autopaint.com/en/ProductHighlights/PCC.aspx ... for $45 a gallon plus $28 for hardner. Anyone ever use it?

I'm looking for a decently priced universal kit for my T-Bucket. Nothing fancy, an 8 circuit kit should cover it. There's about a zillion different kits out there. Some decently priced, some a little on the high side. What kits are you guys using and how good are the instructions and ease of...

Anyone have any pics of '56 Chevies? Hot rod or rat rod i need some pics.

My T-Bucket is currently torn down for paint and upholstery. It'll be flat black for now but someday it might get painted (Hugger orange). Maybe. But nowhere during the near future. I bought this thing to cruise and haul the grand kids around in. Don't feel liking polishing paint or having a...

Decided it was time to freshen things up. Frame will be gloss black, body will be flat black, interior will be blue to match the seats (third row seats from an early 90's Pontiac Trans Sport van) and i haven't decided on the rims (currently running 5x5 and 15x12 Centerlines).

How's the best way to strip chrome? I plan on redoing my T-Bucket later this winter and i want to paint a few parts that are now chrome.

Well kind of. A few months after i bought my T-Bucket the 327 developed some issues so last March, since i was working 60 hours a week and to minimize down time, i swapped in a base 190 hp GM GOODWRENCH crate 350. With the Edelbrock Performer intake/Edelbrock 600 cfm Performer carb and Summit...

First a little history on the truck. It's a '71 lwb that i bought in 1993. It wasn't really what i was looking for at the time but winter was on it's way and the only transportation i had was a VW roadster. Not so good in the rain or fog. I wanted an older truck like a '57 but the engine ran...

I'm looking for a small fan (it can't be any bigger than 12" in diameter) so i can dump the electric fan on my T-Bucket. The only small one i can find is a flex fan and i've heard a few stories about them cracking and coming apart. Anyone know of a small fan? Or i could raise the radiator up...

I need to install a headlight relay in my T-Bucket (the original builder didn't install one). The only thing i know about electricity is if i touch the wrong thing it can really hurt and if it ain't done right it can make a really pretty fire. Do i need two relays (one for low beam, one for...

In solid flat black and solid flat gray? I can't decide if i want it black primer with red & white interior or gray primer with blue & white interior (actually flat paint to look like primer). I know the paint looks good in the pics but it's really a 20 footer. The po used cheap paint and did...

I knew the Corvette (1965) rear end in my T-Bucket was going to need some attention real soon. You know that nasty posi SNAP!POP!BANG! routine. Plus the axles are fairly worn. So i decided to just buy a rebuilt differential. According to the axle ratio code stamping it has 3:70 gears. I think...

The weather's been really nice this week so i decided to make this a drive the T-Bucket to work week. It sure is a nice cruise home when i get off work at 12:15 am (i work 4 10 hour shifts from 1:45 pm to 12:15 am with every Thursday off). Hardly any traffic just the sound of the pipes and the...

I was going through some old papers and ran across a memorial card from my daughter-in-law's funeral a from few years back. It reminded me of the joke the minister told at her memorial service. Since she was a big jokester I know she was there laughing. Jesus was in Heaven and God came to him...
