Pardon my post the other day, because look what arrived in the mail with a different cover officially labeled as the Speedway Motors 2011 Master Catalog. I’ll make up for it with some “insider” Total Performance info.
This yellow T-Tub was stolen from the owner’s driveway in Northern California. Although it’s not, it is very similar in appearance to an Andy’s Instant T. A reward …
“Why have T-Buckets been so popular for so long? Because they’re simple, affordable and, best of all, FUN! You really don’t drive a T-Bucket — you hop in and pilot it like a four-wheeled motorcycle!”
Hot Rod magazine’s David Freiburger has let the cat out of the bag that a T-Bucket will be their next project car. I’m renewing today!
What’s that — you didn’t think you could chrome plate a resin-based Model T facsimile? Better not tell the guys at Van’s Body & Frame in Colby, Kansas.
This is the vision I hope to see when that door rolls up. Hmmm, that looks like a fiberglass body mould — why, it looks like a C-Cab, if I’m not mistaken. Wait a minute! Could it be …? Yes, it is — a Dan Woods C-Cab body mould.
I know, you’re probably thinking, “what the …”? But this barely-there T-Bucket was actually one of the vaunted “Go for the Gold” winners at Darryl Starbird’s 47th Annual Exotic Car Show in Tulsa this year.
We thought a brief review of the new Speedway Motors T-Bucket Assembly Manual was in order because not only is it of interest to prospective T-Bucket builders but we’ve also noticed that there is some confusion regarding the publication.
