Any chance you can make mine a cheese burger... with everything on it?

Just because I like it.

☝that is a sweet ride

 

[tfeverfred]

Yes it is, isn't it? Now, imagine it with the windshield chopped in half, no support rods, black wall tires, black "lake style" headers and no P/U bed. Yes....... a real beauty. It even has the rake I'm shooting for.

There's no denying that a Deuce grill shell can look good on a T Bucket. I'm just not sure it's right for my build.... yet. Research is in progress. But if I do, it'll be one from CCR.

I originally had a chopped 32 grill on mine, but I love the brass T type one so much better. To me the High T split screen and brass 'original' style rad, is what a Bucket is all about. Course its all a personal preference.

That's a beaut. Polishing it would have to be a labor of love, but worth it.

It took me 3 days to read your thread. It was well worth it. Looking forward to future posts.

A major step is about 2 weeks away. She's so close, I can smell the french fries.

Cool! Does he have the insert?

By insert, I assume you mean the grille that goes in front of the radiator, and I don't think Ron offers one. Many people use some form of expanded metal to cover the opening and offer stone protection. The chrome grille inserts can be rather pricey!

Yes, they are. But you can't beat the look.
