Tbucket body

The body of my Tbucket was in my uncles barn i was told it was built in the 60s, it looked like 2 buckets were fused together. we added the bed to hold the 14 gallon gas tank and did extensive body work, built a new frame, suspension etc. i will try to find pics from when i got it.

Just my opinion: I think it would be a shame to dismantle that bucket.

 

[papamike]

Yeah ill probably sell it when i get my sedan going. I will need to keep it until then for the friday night cruises and the saturday morning grocery shopping.

I agree with Sam, that bucket is way to cool to dismantle!!
But I love those tall T's also, please don't chop it!!

Tall T

Gotta chop it and drop it. Building it for my wife she is really short.

It will look much better with a tasteful chop.

 

[papamike]

chop

I think no more than a 4 inch chop my wife is 5 ft nothing but im 6 ft even she makes a good arm rest

 

[Blue Eyed Devil]

Perfect. 4 to 5" is great on those cars...

Weelllllllll, IMHO, short people can fit in tall cars ---- BUT tall people can't fit in short cars, usually...............have fun!
