    Blenheim New zealand

    Welcome from Pukekohe NZ mate, how is the cold weather treating you down there? My bucket was originally built by a guy from Motueka in the 80's but I have done a complete rebuild of it and have it almost ready for this summer minus paint and upholstery.

    PAINT

    Hi Don and Ted, imagine catching up with my two friends here on this site, looks like I need to expand my viewing range to keep in touch with all my good friends. I must of joined this site long ago and then forgot it. Must be my different shade of blonde hair I think. :unsure:

    Mike, need your help

    Hey Bob,go easy on the "he is a Kiwi" sort of comment. :hey: I think the guy you are talking to has lived in the USA for so long he has even lost his Kiwi accent. :sob: Hope you are feeling better soon Mike. :puke:

    Advise on MIG welding please

    Hey Gerry, sit that tank out in the snow,wrap yourself up well, put 3 or 4 pairs socks on your feet, and use your tig. The snow will help keep the tank cool, the extra cloths will keep your internals working, the socks will stop frost bite and as written above the tig will allow you to file and...

    Thanks Mike for your Christmas wishers and prayers. We are into our summer months down under here so aren't having the trouble with snow and bad weather that you folk are enjoying,but in-saying that, we have muggy wet rain today that has broken the drought that we have had since October. I to...

    What are you drivin/buildin besides a Bucket T

    Well Mr Youngster, I will agree with the first love been my Bucket, but I also adore other types of rods and your pickup looks fantastic. And Mr 46, that coupe looks excellent too,so what does it need in the way of a tidy up, wipe the dust off it???? :rolleyes: And the photo of you and your...

    ENGINE LOOK

    Well Jack,you havn't given us much information on what the motor is and the basic whole look of the car that you wish to dress up. Like if it is modern style T then anything could suit but if the whole cars is a early looking style including wheels and tyres that makes for different styling.eg...

    Speed's DooWop nights

    Yeah, you always tease me with your photos of your absolutely lovely backyard and man,how I wish this world wasn't so big so we could all enjoy in the cruise nights etc. I had to stop and do the Goggle Earth thing and do a reconnoitre of your area and noticed that there were some large cities...

    Double stacked blower

    Yes Putz thats Pierce's bucket and man that thing really screams loudly. I have a photo of it in a line up of several buckets including mine when we all met at 7.00am to cruise together to a national rod show and man we had heavy fog,rain and then sun shine and I was the only one that had a roof...

    I had an epiphany

    :thinkn: Well Guys,I must be dumb as I had to find the dictionary and look epiphany up to understand what it meant,and I know it has something to do with a Christian festival held on the 6th January,I'm still wondering what it has with moving from temporary housing into a new home or colour...

    Double stacked blower

    Now where did you find that photo Russ and yes that's the one. :jawdrop: The guy that owns it is nicknamed "Piercer" as he has so many body piercings,it is a miracle he retains fluid. Once one gets passed his appearance,he is one really neat guy. The other thing of interest on his bucket is...

    Double stacked blower

    Well guys,we have a T Bucket down here with the same sort of set up and I have looked but can't find any photos of it sorry. Each to their own I suppose but not my cup of tea and the only thing that I like was the colour of the car, heck that must be my feminine side coming out.

    Northstar T is taking shape

    Thanks Russ and no it was the idea of using a wooden piece acroos the top that I was/is interested in and how it was attached to the screen. By using that piece of wood the trimmer can stable the cloth directly to it allowing for a stronger bond. I actually like your whole frame shape so looking...

    3% computer literacy

    Heck GT63 see one never stops learning as I have NEVER sawn a straight line with my jigsaw and it doesn't matter how hard I have tried. And now you tell me you can't and I kept blaming every thing but myself for my wobbly cuts. :)

    Driveshaft to yoke angles

    Hi Bob and sorry I can't give you any info on the driveshaft but I was always told that one needs the offset angles on the driveshaft for the universals to work correctly. But what does concern me is the fact that you guys doen't seem to worry about a driveshaft safety hoop mounted towards the...

    3% computer literacy

    So well put Mike and heck, you are a man of wisdom.I think you are the same age as me also and it is always frightening to have to learn new skills,but to honest,my step father used to drum into us young kids was,"the day one dies,is the day one stops learning" An example I use is I have another...

    There's just something wrong here.

    One question for you Larry,is not California the home state of hot rodding in America and if so surely there is a manufacturer of fibreglass T bodies and parts local that you could purchase from??? I agree with you though about the look of the pickup bed as my is 24" long with the fuel tank...

    Well Ted, you have made a very valid point about the young folk not knowing about old cars. I recently got caught out a beauty when talking to a young fella in his early twenties, he was telling me all about his old car that he had restored and put a V8 into and was so excited and enthusiastic...
