Hello from San Diego

[Diego]

I just got my first T - Bucket .
1923 , not sure what’s 100 years old on this car .
I am 6’5 so I have to modify the steering wheel, I just took it out for my first ride and I have to say WOW!
It got a Cleveland 351 supercharged .

Welcome, Diego! Yep, you're hooked. These little cars are an absolute blast to drive. Just remember that with low vehicle weight and a lot of horsepower, they can get away from you real quick, so be careful. Got my first T-bucket in 1997, sold it 2 years later and began to build the one I drive now. They're addictive!

PS - From your icon it looks like you have a really cool car. Post more pics when you can.

I had the same problem and fixed it by running a small, steel strap from the back of the alternator to a bolt on the engine block.

There are lots of T-buckets in San Diego, we used to have a chapter of the NTBA there as well but after 12 years or so that fizzled. We live in Yuma now, but still make the trip to Cruizin' Grand and various car shows a few times each year.

Diego,

A friend of mine's family used to build T bucket kits and he swears by the Grant removable steering wheel hub. He swears it's the best modification you can make to one of these cars (especially if your a tall fellow, which he is). it makes getting in and out easier, and is also a good security device. Hopefully I'll run into you at some of the local shows, and meet you in person. El Cajon's weekly cruise started up last Wed. night. La Mesa will probably start up in June?
