    Thanks Indycars! I’ve taken it on a few short drives since getting it back together. I need to address a braking issue before doing much more driving. Brake pedal bleeds down to the floor occasionally. Brake fluid looks pretty dirty so going to try flushing in new fluid first. If that...

    Hey guys. It has been a while since I posted but I did decide to throw a cam in the car over the last winter into Spring which included new lifters, pushrods and valve springs along with a double roller timing chain and gear. Took a little while to do since I was just working on it in my spare...

    T Bucket Interiors

    I have hide-em on the curved edge toward the back of the body but ran chrome trim on the sides. I figured with people getting in and out all of the time the hide-em strips might get torn up a little bit. With the chrome plastic trim if it starts to look rough I can just take the screws out...

    Not a bad idea. I bet they would think twice about tailgating then. Ha Ha.

    I know alot of people don't like this type of thing but I thought it was kind of cool and my kid and nieces and nephews really like it. It was a super easy kit to install and actually shoots decent flames once the car is fully warmed up. Sorry the video is so dark but it makes the flames look...

    Thanks Fletcherson. I didn't think there was too much to be concerned about but figured I would ask anyways. As long as everytime I look at my temp guage it reads normal then I am good to go. :) I guess you could remove the pressure relief valve and insert an expansion tank there if you wanted...

    I am running the same style of radiator. I switched from rubber hoses to stainless steel hoses when I put the new radiator on though so I have never seen any collapsing of hoses like you are talking about. Can a vaccuum created in the coolant system like that cause any other issues besides just...

    Thanks Gary. It's still a work in progress but I think that is part of owning a T Bucket. You are always looking to upgrade or change something. From what I see on your posts your car is going to look awesome. Hope to get to see it in person some day when it's finished.

    You have no idea how much I hate you right now. Hahaha. We almost went above freezing today so thats a plus. The 6 inches of snow on the ground is keeping the car in the garage.lol. Glad you get to enjoy the nice weather though!! Can't wait for it to be that warm here. Only a couple more...

    Thanks Spanky. Still working on updating a few things. You are correct though. They are chevy spindles. :)

    Just wanted to throw a few pictures of my T on here. Bought this one already built but have made a couple of cosmetic changes to it. First night I brought her home Next day in the light New air cleaner and chrome valve covers dress it up a little bit Dash view. Wouldn't mind switching...

    The Bucket List

    That is the exact same radiator I bought for mine. It's a great looking and more importantly functioning radiator. Keeps the engine nice and cool. Still running a mechanical fan with mine but looking this spring to fabricate a shroud for the rad to mount and electric fan to. Really think the...

    2018 Nationals for the NTBA

    I wish there was an event closer to Ohio. I know Illinois isn't too far but talking my wife into driving that far to hang out with a bunch of T Bucket enthusiasts might be a hard sell. Ha Ha. She hears about it enough from me!

    Where to exit the engine harness from the body

    Very impressive PotvinGuy. I bought mine already wired up and wish I hadn't of. What a hack job. I've cleaned some of it up but would love to get it to the point of looking as clean as yours.

    Its winter in Iowa.

    Sounds great. Yeah I have yet to see another T Bucket in my area. Figure it has something to do with Ohio weather. lol.

    Semi-new guy from Sweden.

    Can't wait to see some pics of your car. Sounds like a great build. I'm working on getting over the post limit myself so I can post a couple pictures of my car. ;) Ha Ha
