If you’re a really crazy T-Bucket guy like Warren McDonald, then a blown small block Chevy with dual quads just isn’t quite enough — so, why not add some nitrous? And, mount the bottle above the front suspension for good effect — and the fuel tank on top of the pickup bed. This video from the Crazy T’s of Northern Illinois July 2009 outing really doesn’t do Warren’s bucket justice because it’s sitting still. But, it does give you an opportunity to see the totally unique T-Bucket top that features a clear panel so that he can see the road more clearly from his elevated driving position. If you look carefully, you’ll notice that this bucket had Total Performance origins, but it’s unique unto itself.

T-Bucket fanatic since 1957 when my 8 year old eyes became glued to a full page LIFE magazine photo of Norm Grabowski in the wildest hot rod I had ever seen! I later discovered the fascinating T-Buckets of TV Tommy Ivo, Marty Hollmann, Bob Johnston and Ed “Big Daddy” Roth’s T-Bucket inspired Outlaw. I was hooked for life on T-Bucket hot rods!
TBucketPlans.com originated in 2005 as a personal blog extolling the virtues of T-Buckets. In 2009 I blogged about Chester Greenhalgh, the "how to" genius who wrote the legendary, out-of-print “How to Build a T-Bucket Roadster for Under $3000”. That led to a friendship with Chester and our partnership in marketing the updated eBook version of his T-Bucket building bible. The T-Bucket fire burns stronger and stronger.
