    Cruzin . . .

    Had to get out for a little cruise yesterday. Gorgeous Spring here in St Louis, and cruising around in the bucket is good for my soul!

    Track Bucket build

    Very cool pics, TB1! I admire you for participating the way you do. As I've said before I love this kind of vintage racing. BTW, is this the track in Boiling Springs? (PS - I could not view the video clips :( Said they were "private")

    LincolNut's mishap

    Looks like Mike Wde had a little mishap moving this project truck around his shop. Glad you weren't hurt, Mikey.

    The T in my head, thoughts?

    This can happen on a wet road even with treaded tires. T-buckets & rain don't mix well . . . (My motto: if it rains, park it!)

    Interested in checking out others interiors

    First, I coated my floor, transmission hump, body sides and firewall with truck bed liner. Then I covered everything with non-woven carpet-like material used to cover speaker enclosures and glued it down using flooring adhesive. The seats are fiberglass Speedway sportsman buckets with the seat...

    Getting to the body

    On the road since 2016 using the 'well-nut' system with no problems, even after one minor 'off-road' incident.

    Track Bucket build

    Love your build and the post-war vibe. I really get a kick out of events like "The Race of Gentlemen" and nostalgia drags. Good for you for participating! Save us some pictures. (PS - Tonneau cover looks great.)

    The T in my head, thoughts?

    Our friend, Mykk, posts these photos on fb of him & his sweetie out for a cruise in his cool BMW V-8 powered bucket. Look back in this thread for some of his build pics.

    Alt Bantam

    When I was building mine, I thought it would be cool to polish the bell housing on my TH 350 auto trans. Upon completion, I realized that no one would see it! I'm not advising you, just relating what I did.

    Quiet as possible exhaust

    If you go with chrome, be sure to take measures to keep them from turning blue. This is what I did, and that was over two years ago, and still no bluing on my Speedways. Before installing the headers, get some high temp ceramic paint from your local auto parts store and spray the inside of the...

    23 t build no longer for sale

    Selling it as an incomplete project you'll never get back what you've invested. Like John says, if you have room, set it aside and resume when you have the opportunity. (Took me 15 years of on-and-off effort to finish mine!)
