Another newbie

[B rad]

Just got my first start on building a t-bucket. I picked up a damaged total t-bucket body and chassis. Now I'm going to be asking a lot of questions. This project is to get my grandson excited about hotrods and mechanical things in general.

Welcome to our family. Your goal of stimulating interest in your grandson is a worthy one, and we all hope that our hobby doesn't die out among the young guns. Put up a picture when you get a chance.

Welcome, and feel free to ask away.
There is a TON of knowledge in here.

You mention that they are damaged. First thing, DON'T throw anything away until it's back together!
You can use even badly damaged parts to confirm what it was and what you need.
Second, build a list of what's needed. Since Speedway bought out TP, I'd get a build guide and parts list from them. It may not all cross over perfectly, but it will guide you.
