Fiberglass is the body

[Spanky]

Most of the T-buckets I know of are fiberglass bodies. Any of you using a steel body?

Just the rich guys. Fiberglass bodies are available stretched and wider for comfort. Plus they are easier to bobywork wily th common tools.

Rip's coupe . . . and let's be honest: this is not a T-bucket. Very cool ride though . . .

Hey, the good news about fiberglass is that the early glass bodies are now collectible/valuable, too! Worth even more if there are identifiable marks, names and/or serial numbers still intact.

There's even a few of these still around. I don't know if they're valuable or just interesting curiosities, but . . . they sure were less expensive!

I remember those adds and wanting one but couldn’t afford it! I was in the Air Force and making $655 a month!

Darn it! I have reworked every millimeter of mine to make it suit me. Oh well, it’s a toy, not an investment.
