Thread: T-bucket chassis plans

Tweet

I'm looking for a set of plans to build my first T-bucket on a
budget. I hope to plan as much as I can and get as good of advice
from all you guys who've "been there, done that" as I can so as to
keep mistakes and expences to a minimum.

Does anyone have a set of plans they'd like to share with the rest of
us?

Has anyone purchased or seen more than one set of plans and have any
advice about which is better? What is it about your favorite plans
that makes them your favorite?

Does anyone know of a source for purchasing my own plans? (Getting
them free from you would be cheaper but any tips are welcome!)

Also, I am thinking about building my t-bucket to resemble a front
engine dragster (FED) from the late '50's or early '60's. Anyone
have chassis plans for a FED? Know where I can buy an old FED
chassis cheap?

My pug dog thanks you in advance. Rosie's really growing impatient to
hang her tounge in the breeze.

Richard, the car you're thinking of was built by Bill Frederick back in the late '60's, maybe early '70's. He was big into jet cars. I first ran across him in the early '60's when he lived on my paper route. I did a thread on it a few years back and wasn't able to find anything on the web with pictures doing a google search then. Don't have time today, but maybe someone can find something.

Dandman;
If your still looking for 'T' Plans, you can go to California Custom Roadster ( CCR ) , Some years ago I built several using their Plans, many said it was the best " riding " 'T' Bucket around, but I used a Jag Rear in it, and the Plans even show how to mount it, and they contain full size templates for all of the Bracketry also . Look in Street Rodder Mag. or some of the other and see if their still listed in the advertisers listings.
