New T-Bucket Owner from Oklahoma

[Joe-405]

well im glad to be here and i finally got one. Found a guy local that sells them for $475.00 with the pickup bed out the door price. Then i found Ron Pope .............................

Oh Ron Oh Ron, the first of my suspension parts have arrived and i will be buying more from him. After a long chat with him found out that we have more than t buckets in common as he likes fast vw's also ! My dad has a Unlimited style turbo vw bug built by VW paradise.

Cant wait to get the t bucket rolling chassis parts are all getting assembled in the next few days. Going to be a "Fadster" style T with a cage but a little less engine.

Got a bug pic and a few T pics............................(and yes i know the hairpins are upside down. lol)
