I really liked this bobtail black T-bucket with a supercharged small block Ford that was on display at the 2009 Crazy T’s car show. It’s a Spirit Industries based bucket with really great looking chrome accents and tasteful blue pinstriping. The deuce grille shell and twelve spokes add to a great look, but the real capper is the terrific looking quickchange rear end.
If you are the owner of this beauty, or you know the owner, please let us know by posting a brief comment so they can be properly recognized.

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.
