OK Gerry, here's what I think: If you look at the youth of today in America, I think the only T buckets in year 2020 will be the ones that we built. To them a Hot Rod is a foreign car with a 4" muffler that sounds like a vaccuum cleaner with a piece of carpet stuck in the agitater brush, a rear wing that resembles a dental flosser & a fancy air cleaner under the hood. These cars remind me of the "slot cars" we raced as kids. In the late 60's my brother & I couldn't glue together a model without burning off the fenders with our wood burning iron, cutting a hole in the hood for a scoop & jacking up the rear end! The attached photo is a picture of my older brothers 69' Road Runner ( I think I'm the dork to his left). By the time he was finished modifying, the car was jacked up so high that you felt like you were in an airplane that was about to nose dive into the ground! I fear that in the year 2020 todays youth will going to Home Depot for their "how to work a screwdriver" seminar! Perhaps a better topic title would be "your vision of T buckets in 2020 if we are still building them".
