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!”
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.
“Should I buy that unfinished T-Bucket project I heard about that’s for sale cheap?” is a question that deserves a thoughtful response with good information.
Our recent “Shop Stop” at Wintec Fabrication fanned the flames even more about the Wintec Roadster. People wanted to know more about how this stretched, not quite a Tub, T-Bucket came about. So, here goes.
In answer to the question, “Is there any way today to build a T-Bucket hot rod on a real budget?” I have to respond with an emphatic “yes”. To prove that point, you can now buy a new fiberglass T-Bucket body for only $275.
