Thanks to Rolla Hessel and “T-Odd” Mullins, we can now reveal the dates for the National T Bucket Alliance 2016 events tour.
For those unfamiliar with the organization, the National T-Bucket Alliance (NTBA) is a hot rod club focused on the Model T based hot rods commonly known as T-Buckets. The NTBA recognizes that members are as individual as their T-Buckets and each individual has their strengths and specialties. The NTBA offers the structure to bring these individual hot rodders with a common interest together. To do so, the NTBA supports local, regional, national events and charities.
It’s important to note that the Alliance’s leadership and positions are completely voluntary. NTBA is a family oriented club, offering something for every T-Bucket fanatic. Once you’ve become more familiar with the club, you’ll notice the personality, family values, and the channeled effort to see that each member has the support and information they need.
NTBA membership is only $35 for the first year and that includes membership card, windshield decal, and a cool NTBA T-Shirt. (Annual renewals are only $25). Click here to join now>

As additional information becomes available about each of these events it will be made available on the NTBA website and NTBA Facebook sites.
As NTBA President, Rolla Hessel, says, “it’s not about the NTBA or the cars, it’s more about the opportunity to gather with others who share our passion for the people and the cars!”
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.

What are your plans this weekend in Tucson. I would like to bring my grandkids to see the buckets.
Sorry for the late reply, James, but you’re asking about a National T-Bucket Alliance event. While we are happy to promote NTBA activities, we are not representatives of the NTBA. For more complete NTBA information you can visit the NTBA website. For information on their events, you can usually find that on a special Events Forum portion of their website.
Where can I get info on Arizona T’s Fun Run in Tucson? I know the dates, but that’s all.
Hi Jim, you should be able to find much more info on the NTBA website at this address: http://www.nationaltbucketalliance.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=87&t=2712
