The Roach 8-19-17.jpg T Bucket BB 8-19-17.jpg T Bucket 8-19-17.jpg IIRC, Mike used to go off on too much carburation and tunnel rams.

This at a local car show in Breaux Bridge, La. It is an Iszue truck frame with a 1/8 steel plate (C-Cab) body. Not many parts from conventional sources.

I'll try too encourage him to attend the Cajun T bucket Nationals with Isaltz permission.

The Model T is nice to see how much the T Bucket has evolved.

There was a guy there that had a Jungle Jim L.......man Vega. He got out of Tenn. He had pictures of it with Jungle Jim on the side of it but he repainted it metallic blue. It still has Jungle Pam's autograph on the dash. You never know what you are going to see around in the swamp.

I was going to say, I'll bet, just the middle carb is utilized, but saw the nitrous bottle inside and the solenoids on the outboard carbs. Still it looks like a gasoline solenoid on one carb and nitrous on the other and I do not see all the plumbing necessary. I think it is more for visual shock than running. Yeah, Mike would had a couple of pages about the lack of logic with this one.
 
Yes it is mostly for show. He barely gets it off/on the trailer. He calls it the Roach, was named after his son.
 
That's unique.
 
Different strokes for different folks!

I just noticed what looks to be twin alternators too.... is it a hybrid also? The electric roach rod? I've seen much worse!
