Thread: Twisted T bucket build

Tweet

Very nice looking car

Hiya Russ, a very nice T Bucket for sure for sure,but then I own one too. Is there a build thread of your s I could find and read through as I need all the motivation I can get at the moment.
I have to agree with you on the buzz you get driving them as I have always had sensible type of cars with 4 doors and a roof and more the street machine variety. Gladly I am now certainly hooked into the pre 49 type hotrod and having no family to worry about where everybody is going to sit,I can get away with the 2 seaters.

Thanks whiplash. It's just the wife and I here also, so yes, two seats is plenty these days. I don't know about it being a "build", but I did make a list of my progress over at Tbuckteers. search for "Northstar T is taking shape" (not sure is the management here likes dirrect links or I'd add one).
I started building the car in January or so, so I guess it's coming along OK, but never soon enough. still need to get upholstery, but wanting to make sure all the little changes are final before I get that done.
Nice to see your T from over yonder also. hard to see in the avitar, but is that an injected nailhead?

Cheers,
Russ

Hi Russ,thanks for answering back. I am a member of that mentioned site too but I only seem to go there very very rarely as I find this site is like family and just like getting home from a long holiday,it is so good to be home feeling. I must get around to starting my personal album of photos on here.
My bucket should/could be classed as a belly button car as it would be on some sites. I have rebuild since I took ownership and sadly I didn't take any photos of it before the small operation to rectified the horribly steering problem. It had an old R&P bolted to the I beam resulting in self steering.You know the saying,while I'm doing that I might as well do that and end up with a bare frame sitting on the garage floor.
Sorry I digress and I'm stealing your thread. It is a 350 Chevy,th400 to a 10 Bolt chevy diff. The 350 has a tri-power set up as I decided to rebuild back to a 60's look bucket.
Heck I do wish it was a Nailhead even with mutli carbs but I think that they are getting rare and expensive to find and rebuilt now.
