Danny Eichstedt T-Bucket

The new owner of the Leg Show has done a major updated and the car is at the Grand National Roadster Show this weekend in Pomona. It is one of the 10 ten contenders competing for the Americas Most Beautiful Roadster award. It looks great….

Does kinda look like the ORIGINAL Legshow, doesn't it.
 
The Leg Show was a car that Danny Eichstedt built back in the late 60’s to early 70’s. It was on the cover of Rod and Custom in January 1971. Danny sold the original Leg Show many years ago. The guy that bought it took it apart and ended up selling, the body, top, fuel tank and a few other parts to Bobby Nunes. Nunes put the body and pieces on his frame and had the car for a long time. That car was sold to Walter Sigsbey about 5 years ago. Walter completely redid everything and just got the car finished a few days ago for the GNRS show this weekend.

At the show today I got to meet Walter, Danny Eichstedt and Dan Woods. All 3 guys were super nice and a wealth of information. Here are a few pics from Walter’s build book he had on display.

I guess this is a fresh 're-build' huh? It's a beautiful show car, and based on the T-bucket motif. I doubt it will see many road miles in its current state, but it is stunning. :thumbsup:
