T Bucket curious

[TUCK]

Hi Folks,

I'm new to the forum and to T buckets. Just finishing a build on a 67 Fairlane and I'm thinking about a T bucket for my next project. I've got a fairly fresh small block ford engine, transmission, and rearend leftover from my Fairlane project. In a perfect world I'd like to find a Bucket project complete except for the motor and drivetrain. The 67 has taken 2 years to complete, so I'd like to find something I don't have to start from the ground up. On the other hand I don't want to drop major dollars on a kit. Any ideas? Thanks.

Welcome have you looked on Ebay?....................Its always great to see a Ford in a Ford............

You will have fun with one and if you got a couple days in June run up to Dayton Ohio for the NTBA (National T Bucket Alliance) National meet. You can get some great ideas on Buckets when you have about 150 in one place...........June 24/25 2011................... opcorn: :hoist:

On your first bucket you could start with one already made with a "TITLE" so you don't have to go through that headache. It is also nice to fix one a little and drive to see if you like it and things you want to fix.

I agree that is the best way to go, I just picked up mine with a 350 in it and its so much fun

Thanks Folks,

I'm gonna keep my eyes open and be patient. Fixing one a little is the ideal situation. RPM got your PM.

consider getting one that is half finished or needs restored and you will get a great deal.

I have seen show car t's for under 10k

when you see the right one you will know.
