    o2 Sensor Headers and Exhaust question

    I have not seen anyone selling t-bucket headers with an o2 sensor already installed, however an o2 sensor bung can easily be welded to a collector or tube. You can find them online for as little as $6. Here is a few pictures of o2 sensors on a set of t-bucket headers. You don’t have to rule...

    Car Cover Question

    I don’t know who this car cover belongs to, but I thought it looked nice and took these pictures at the 2016 Nationals in Indy.

    To shock, or not to shock? That is the question! Whether it tis better. . ...

    This is very similar to what Zipper Motor uses on their 27 T bucket. On some of the cars they use them on both front and rear.

    Wel Well Well

    I had a chance to see the "Uncertain T" this weekend at the Grand National Roadster Show. It has seen better days. I thought the spindle arms were unique.

    Floor mats keep moving

    14” Dual Mitering Metal Saw

    I bought one of the same Evolution S355MCS saws that is in the video when they first came out 6 months ago. It looks like a wood saw, but this was designed to cut aluminum and steel. I have used it a number of times and so far, I like it. I made a stand and added a couple of stops and extension...

    DA Random Orbit Sanders

    I just bought a new DA a couple of weeks ago. I wanted a cordless one and ended up buying a Dewalt DCW210B. It has the 8-hole hook and loop pad and a dust collection bag. I already had a charger and batteries for my drill, so I just bought the tool. Amazon has it for $95.00. I have used it a few...

    4 Post Lifts

    I used to own a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep dealership and I always bought Challenger lifts. We mainly used 2-post lifts but also had one of the 14,000 lbs 4-post extended length lifts. It was equipped with 2 air/hydraulic roller jacks which allowed you to take off the tires. I never had any issues...

    One piece body

    Total Performance offered two different bodies, a standard traditional body and an anniversary body. The anniversary body was a smooth body that was lower on the sides and a little taller at the rear. In the pictures below, it is the lighter color.

    My EV rant . . .

    There is a great video, The Scary Truth Behind EV's that was on VinWiki Car Stories back in December by Lauren Fix. She’s a Journalist, Race Car driver and Expert in the Auto Industry. In my opinion, it’s well worth watching. It’s 15 minutes long and highly informative.

    New / old fart here

    Hi Spanky, Many things have taken place to delay my start, but I actually think I will be able to begin in the next few months. I did get a chassis jig built.

    SS Radius Rods & Plain Steel Threaded Ends

    Using stainless steel sounds like a great idea, but it’s more complicated because of the available sizes of stainless to choose from. On T-buckets, the most common radius rods are made using steel tubing 7/8” x .156” wall with an ID of .563” or 7/8” x .188” wall with an ID of .499”. A 5/8” x 18...

    Counting Cars

    PovtinGuy, I really like the stance of your car. It looks great with the motor parallel to the frame and body.

    Track Bucket build

    Welcome to the site. I had a chance to meet ExJunk a couple of times and had a chance to go for a ride with him a number of years ago. His car was exceptionally nice and well thought out. The friction shocks worked great and his car rode better than any T-bucket I’ve ridden in. Here are a couple...
