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.

The enthusiastic reception for the Introductory Episode of our “Hooked on T-Bucket Hot Rods” Podcast has been very gratifying. Thank you! But after people endured my droning on in that Introductory Episode it was time for a real payoff with a dynamic first interview. And, boy I think we did it! Hall of fame hot […]

I’m republishing this post from four years ago because friend Timmy McMaster (Y-Block Guy) recently published a historic hot rod photo that blew my mind. Timmy said, “Local Hanford, CA man built this car in the late 50s. Sold it after a while and then it became famous in someone else hands. Picture was taken […]

This past weekend I was in SoCal and among other T-Bucket activities took in the 7th Annual Galpin Car Show, one of the biggest shows in the San Fernando Valley. The show is pretty awesome with not only rods and customs, but tons of exotics, Shelbys galore and a huge variety of modified VWs. But […]

The Larry Ryan T-Bucket isn’t likely to be found in the annals of T-Bucket history. But for me it deserves a special place because it really caught my attention when it appeared in the October, 1961 issue of Rod & Custom magazine. At the time I’d already been bitten hard by the Grabowski and Ivo […]

I’m reposting this past Don Garlits story, because I’ve had something come up on short notice that takes me to Florida this week and I’m making a point of visiting the Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing. Following the visit, I plan to do a further update because I know this is of interest to […]

I learned yesterday that legendary automotive journalist, Brock Yates, after suffering with Alzheimer’s for the last 12 years, succumbed at the age of 82. Brock began his career as an automotive journalist in the 1960s, became editor of Car and Driver magazine, later joining Motor Trend and also founding the Cannonball Run and One Lap […]

Last month, a third generation California Central Valley raisin rancher passed away at the age of 90 and the hot rod world was saddened. Michael Gejeian was born in 1926. But, from the 1940s on he was simply known as “Blackie” as a result of the highly influential 1926 T roadster he built. Following his interment, […]

One of hot rodding’s most famous cars is Ed Roth’s Outlaw. Built in 1959 as the beatnik embodiment of a space age T-Bucket, it was the first free-form fiberglass show car and it started a revolution. I’ve drooled over the original at the Petersen Museum. I’m also a big fan of the Outlaw clones built […]
