    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

    [​IMG]
    Dash view. Wouldn't mind switching out the gauges at some point.

    Most up to date photo I have at this time. Replaced the cracked radiator.
    (Not pictured: Stainless steel radiator hoses, stainless steel fuel line, 120 amp chrome alternator)

    I'm going to make a point of taking additional photo's in the spring when I get her out and as I make upgrades I'll be sure to add photo's. Not a fan of those front drum brakes so converting to disc brakes will probably be the next task.

    Cool car, David. What spindles do you have on the front? I can't see clearly, but they look like Chevy spindles, which is what I have.

    Love the idea of reflectors on the side of the frame! TBucket are just not very
    visible from the side.

    Your car is looking good! You mean it's not spring up there yet? We hit 80* down here in Florida yesterday. Perfect cruising weather

    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 months hopefully.

    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 never finish a t bucket. You just quit working on it.

    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 sooo much better. :)

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