If you’re set on building a T Bucket, you might want to spend a while looking over this thread. It’s pretty informative about what will be involved in a project like this.
Project $ 3 K Is Underway
It’s a bit long but probably the most informative T Bucket build thread you will find.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

I actually read most of the entire project 3k thread before getting anywhere else on the forum. I say most as I skipped some of the more off-topic posts. It's a great thread - usually I don't post on forums, but that thread made this place seem pretty friendly.
I'm thinking about trying to build the original goal of the thread - a solid "less is more" reliable rod for a reasonable bit of $$. I love the look he ended up with, and the kit his son put together looked great too. I've "refurbished" a '71 F100 & a '67 Scout and done a frame up restoration on a '62 F100 so I figure its time to tackle a bit more of a project. I've also got Chesters "How to build a t-bucket" e-book and I've been studying pics for good ideas for final design.
Is there anyone in the Atlanta area that has a t-bucket they'd like to show off (and maybe let me try it on for size)? I've seen them at shows, but I'd now that I'm thinking about building one I'd like to put my eyes on some details and see how I fit in a standard body. I've been in a real T, but it's not really the same thing. Also, anyone in GA recently registered a home built replica? Seems like it's easier now, but I'm sure it depends on who you get a the tax office too.
