Thread: 6cyl Modified/t-bucket

Tweet

Was stalled on the roadster so jumped into this new project. Had the parts for years and started modifying the body awhile ago so just had to decide on chassis suspension etc. Shortened the chassis rails and boxed them then set them up on the chassis table with the mtr/box in place and body on to check proportions.

So if I happened to stop by to see you, would I recognize you with all the weight ya' put on, you fat bugger? Will you still fit in the T-bucket?

haha - how are you - long time since I've been on here ! I'll fit alright

Doing OK. Adapting to a single pull vs pulling as a pair is not as easy as some seem to think, but getting there.... Was talking earlier tonight with a couple that visited Godzone in March, thinking about all the things I missed. May need to plan a trip.

the engine is full rebuilt and will be run in on 350cfm 2-barrel holley an then changed over to the supercharger .
the body - made up of a hotchpotch of parts will have one opening door.

built the chassis using Studebaker rails. banjo diff will have the centre-section changed to a nz quickchange .

Very nice! This is going to be a wild looking ride when you get it done!

In a word. SUBTLE!

Cool project! Love the quick change. Will you be machining it yourself? I would like to see some pics.

Subscribing so I can follow along.

this is how it sits now waiting for some attention.

just testing to see if photo comes out.

Woohoo!
She's looking good mate.

Been certed?
Have you posted it on the Maverick's site?
I haven't seen it there...

Good to see you here, Mark! I've seen some pics of the T bucket flying around a dirt track on your FB page. Not sure you're planning for this one to ever see the open road, so maybe no certs?

Hi JB , its been finished for awhile and i raced it at jalopy dustup in january.
Its built to the manual , but i wasn't going to cert it til after i got the roadster an 34 olds back on the road. Having said that i recently sent the paperwork off to "the Admiral" and have had the initial ok from him , so will probably carry on and get it in the system now i have retired.
The only photos of it have been on my facebook page as i find it very time consuming with the computor i use to change the photo sizes to enable the photos to be put on the Maverick an this and other sites.
I have had another joint replacement (left shoulder) an am on a compulsery go-slow for the next 6 weeks so i should be able to get more photos up.
Thanks.
