    Big block bucket

    Thanks guys ! Good points , it gives me food for thought . I'll have to wait for this weekend to get pics . Maybe a 20" bed , with a cell in bed and a small moon tank up front . The hairpins do look too short . I've been looking at RocknT's car he has a similar setup , I'm debating a regular...

    Big block bucket

    The front end is looking too busy or full , it's hard to explain . I don't like it . I think I'll set the cell on the rear and see if it looks better . Without the cell the front looks more like a dragster . With the cell up front it kind of reminds me of an old long wheelbase touring car . Not...

    Big block bucket

    The exhaust pipes are stack turnouts for a semi . They are 5" in diameter . I bought them at an auction for my army truck . I squared up the end with a hammer and they fit snug up to the collector . I got bullet mufflers for inside but I think it's going to be loud .

    Big block bucket

    The mirrors are for motorcycles but I couldn't resist . My help was up all night but insisted on helping . I don't think the snoring helped !

    TBucket update.

    Looks cool , I like the idea of a trailer hitch ! What's beside the hitch , mounts for the bed ?

    My bucket plans sarting to take shape

    Going to do one like your avatar ? I had the model and the hotwheel . Working at a steel shop will save you tons ( of money and headaches ) !

    MORE T BUCKET PHOTOS

    Some cool stuff going on there . I love the color ! I've been thinking about running rodlites too . The hinge for the rear cover is a neat idea . I wanted a padded cover for the bed and was wondering how to hinge it .

    Big block bucket

    The shifter and brake linkage in crude mockup . I'll order the gas pedal and mount it up . Then on to reinforcing the sides of the body , it moves more than I like it too . Then onto building up the floor to form the seating area . Little by little , I'll plug away at it .
