Rick's T-bucket Adventures 2007

I just need the money to have it stitched up.I also will have to put the car up for 2-3 weeks. NOT.He said he needs it for tweeks to cut and fit the back to do what i want it to do.
 
You see i'm putting a fold down arm rest in the center of the seat back.A little tricky to design but thats what i do at work best design stuff
 
What a great idea. I'll see you saturday at the car show.

I just got back from the Roam'n Chariots car show.We had a real good turnout about 300 cars most all BAD TO DA BONE.Ask Thomas he made it and through the crap around a bit till he had to go get his engine and tranny a freakin roller motor a FORD of coarse.And i won't spoil it by tellin how much he paid for it or how much he gave the to steal it.Cause thats what he did steal it.Oh by the way i got second place in the 1920-1929 class i'll do better when i finish the interior.Well later guys just stopped home to post this and grab a cold breww then it's out to the streets again.My mom was right when she said i'll do nothing but run the streets when i get older LOL
 
Thomas almost brought back my copy of my first hard run in my T-Bucket i say almost 'cause he gave me the case back MT.LOL Oh well he meant well mabe the next time i see him i can get it back.Then i will try to post it.Or a link to it.
 
$500.00:D Should be on the road by end of May 2008. My wife is insisting I get it done. Darn.:dance:

$500!:eek: SNOICKEY'S!! That's a heck of a deal! Nice move. You didn't have to kick in a body part or two, did ya?:dance:
 
Just got back taking a nice ride i got about 1/2 mile from the house and told my wife if we are going to get home YOU have to drive.Man she just about craped needles but she did real good she just has to get used to when you hit the gas it realy wants to go not like her Escort.By the way i think she got just a bit excited if ya know what i mean.
 
Way to get the "other half" involved! My girl has kinda started to have a weird look on her face since the engine/tranny install. She says she will still want to ride in it, but she just has that "you have got to be kidding" look on her face now.

:lol:Maybe I'll fake illness on an outting to get her to drive. Better not mention I have AAA!
 
Went to the Pennzoil cruise tonight and the T-Bucket nemisus hit me RAIN.Let me tell you about sitting with your head 12in above the windshield?Rain drops hit you AWFULL HARD AT 60.
 
Again rain all day GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.Trust me i've been hit by June Bugs And bumble bees but just one at a time not thousands a minute
 
Sorry to hear about mother nature raining on your parade, and yeah i understand where your coming from with the numbers theory, but rain won't make your chin swell up so you look like a exagerated bruce cambell.


not that i'de know...
 
Hey Rick, sorry I didn't make it to the car show after leaving your house the other night. Ended up taking the wife to Mexican town for some good old southwestern food. I'll be painting my frame, front end, rearend etc. this weekend. I will then take some pictures and once again attempt to post them.;)

At our car show last month i won a plaque for 2nd place in the 1920-1929 class.
Aug 22 i won a cruisers Pick Trophy(21 inches tall)at a Toys for Tots car show.Along with odd and end raffle stuff 2 oil cahnges at Penzoil 50's oil change shop another car cruise,Automatic wire strippers,a Laser Level,a Hot Rod Clock for the garage.all in all i'm having a ton of fun.Wish you guys would hurry up so you can share your trips and show but in the mean time EAT YOUR HEARTS OUT......HAHAHAHA Did i go over board?:eek::eek::lol:
 
Nice haul! You've been busy and the bounty is very well deserved.

Overboard? Nah.



The evil gods of faded paint and dull chrome will be out for now.:)
 
Hey Thomas when are you going to show off your paint job?
 
As soon as I get a camera. I just finished painting the frame, base coat - clear coat black. Poor lighting, I think I might have missed a spot. Should be easy to fix I'm told. First time painting. Not to bad. I wouldn't want to do my body though. I'll have Rick's buddy Rick do that.
