The frame and chassis are the key components of any T-Bucket — and one of the first places to start when building or rebuilding one.
They can also be one of the major cost components, but you can save a ton building them yourself, especially if you’re doing a T-Bucket, Model A or similar hot rod.
Even if you decide to buy the frame and chassis components you can still save untold time and money if you know in advance how they all come together.
To make it easy, we recommend you check out Bob Hamilton‘s awesome Hot Rod Frame and Chassis Construction DVD at our StreetRodPlans.com website. It’s an essential for most any street rod project.
This 4-1/2 hour instructional DVD covers every aspect of street rod and hot rod frame and chassis construction.

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.
