At the 2009 Crazy T’s car show, I saw this very clean looking blue T-bucket that was for sale. Looks like another Total Performance build with the earlier rear coil springs and nice chrome front suspension as well as a tunnel ram equipped small block Chevy and a clean black interior. The ’39 Chevy tail lights are a nice touch.
If you know or are the previous or new owner of this T-Bucket, please post a comment and let us know for proper attribution. Thanks.

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.

When a blown small block Chevy with dual quads just isn't quite enough for your T-Bucket, why not add some nitrous? And, mount the bottle above the front suspension for good effect.
