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.

My 27 coupe is all steel!

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.

 

[Spanky]

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.

I have a big boy body from rpm. It is 10 inches longer and 6 inches wider than a stock t bucket body. It is fiberglass.

Well it isn't technically a T, it's a 1920 Dodge Brothers Open Touring with the driver's section removed and using the rear half for the "bucket" and dang that 104 yr old steel is tough.
