Lurker

Hi Guys. I've been lurking here for some time - always loved T buckets - built my first one in 1972 with a dropped axle up front and a Vette rear end. My wife and I drove it from Canada to Tulsa for the 1973 Nationals. It's long gone now and I haven't posted much because I don't own a bucket right now. I do have a T though - it's a traditional '26 coupe - chopped and channeled. I'm running a 400" small block Chevy that my Dad bought brand new in a '72 Caprice - it's now 406 and has Dart heads and tripower, about 10:1 with enough cam to make it run hard and sound fantastic. I'm copying a car that turned me on to Hot Rods back when I was about 10 years old. Great posts.

Welcome!

Yeah that 26 is sweet. That bucket looks like a lot of fun as well. Looking forward to the build.

Let me get my drool towel that 26 is going to be killer.
