Well, I figured I would start a build thread instead of having a hundred different posts all over the forum. I acquired my tbucket on a trade and didn't really know anything about them. I had seen them before at car shows and thought "what a cool car" but I never thought I would own one. Once I got mine home I started doing a lot of reading and researching in the internet. Man, I did not realize there was a whole other world of tbuckets. I thought it was just another kit car and very expensive to build. I really enjoy working on my tbucket. I also greatly value the knowledge on this forum. Anyways, I will get onto the car. It is a stretched body from an unknown manufacture and supposedly the frame was welded in a jig. It came with a 5.0 302 ford motor and transmission that I believe are in working order ( yet to be determined). The wheelbase is 118" and the bed is 39" not 42" like I said in another post. I don't know where I came up with that measurement from. The body is 58" total and the cowl is stretched to 16". A lot of the welds don't look so good so I am in the process of redoing most of them. The frame was also welded crooked at the kickup. I have cut it loose and I am in the middle of straightening now. Wow, I do not believe I have wrote this much since high school. Now for the pics!!!
