Well, I don’t want to admit my age (fifty-three), but for three decades I have been aching to build my own T-Bucket roadster. What is a T-Bucket, you ask?
Well, it is a replica of Henry Ford’s venerable Model T Ford, minus a lot of body parts and with a lot more horsepower.
Back in April of 2007, I drove to Wallingford, CT to visit Total Performance a shop that produces an after-market T-Bucket kit. The little beauty above was on hand for me to drool over. After a couple of hours of chatting, a down-payment on a complete kit leapt out of my pocket and into the coffers at Total.
I wish it were otherwise, but being a man of modest means, I am still paying off the kit. I hope to have my hands on everything within the next few months and I am starting to get anxious to get started on the build.
I’ll post about the progress, from time to time. If you’re remotely interested in street rods, come visit our T-Bucket Forums and see what some other bucket-heads are planning.
