My T-Bucket July 18, 2007, 03:13:58 PM I said I would post pictures of my new 'Bucket, so here goes. First I'll post a couple of my original 'Bucket that I bought in 1987. I drove this one until 2000 when I finally retired it for a major overhaul:Here i am in the 'Bucket - I'm a bad dude (in my mind - lol):I bought a new chassis for the old 'Bucket & I was going to finish the job - that was in 2000. I bought my 20th Cougar in 1999 and never had time for the 'Bucket after that. So then this 'Bucket shows up on eBay and it is 15 miles from me! It had all the features I was going to incorporate into my new ride - assuming I would ever get around to it. I decided that I was getting having too many problems with my joints and that I would likely never finish the rebuild of the old 'Bucket.So I bought this one:Yes, that is a Michelob tap for a shifter :D Quote Selected
My T-Bucket Reply #1 – July 18, 2007, 03:18:04 PM I see how you tried to use clever camera angles to hide the fact that it's chebby powered :pLooks nice! Quote Selected
My T-Bucket Reply #2 – July 18, 2007, 03:31:25 PM Chevy powered or not, it's still VERY nice. I love the color of red also Quote Selected

My T-Bucket Reply #5 – July 18, 2007, 03:48:07 PM I like the newer T-bucket much better than the old one. Very cool. Enjoy the living out of it. :) Quote Selected
My T-Bucket Reply #6 – July 18, 2007, 03:59:35 PM I am enjoying it! I already modified it a bit by changing to angled windshield posts. The old windshield was angled a bit away from the driver and the reflections at dusk were downright dangerous (I was having trouble differentiating between reflection and road - note the neighbors house reflected in the second shot!). I will post some pics showing the new windshield angle. Oh and BTW, I am over the newness and the chebby comments. I just kick back and cruise down the road with the 4 speaker stereo blasting "She ****in' Hates Me" by Puddle of Mudd. I finally get to use the cool little remote control that came with my 40 Gig MP3 player which is hidden under the seat - so cool! Quote Selected
My T-Bucket Reply #7 – July 18, 2007, 04:05:41 PM no seriously it is a georgeous car chevy and all. lol but if you want to mod it some a flathead with polished edelbrock heads tripple strombergs and chrome zoomies would take it to the next level. Quote Selected
My T-Bucket Reply #8 – July 18, 2007, 05:27:43 PM I Love it. **** them Id throw a 350 in it. Its your car. If I had the time and was bored enough id put a 350 in a fox. I wouldnt care. Quote Selected
My T-Bucket Reply #9 – July 18, 2007, 06:27:01 PM Yeah, these are pics I took back then when I had just sunk a bundle of money into the car and then posted here only to be shocked by the preoccupation with the engine. When I take some more shots I will be sure to get a close-up of the bow-tie logo on the oil breather :flame: If I was rich I'd put a beautiful flathead in it - but I'm still tyring to make up for the dough I sunk into it.

Roll with it, man. Some people apparently have very short attention spans, if they can't remember the recent fiasco.Like I said before, that is awesome. I'd drive it with a honda B16 under the hood...... that is if there was a hood. Of course, I'd much rather have the 350. :hick: Quote Selected
My T-Bucket Reply #13 – July 18, 2007, 09:03:36 PM It just rocks. Don't put a flathead in it, give the flattie to me. Quote Selected
My T-Bucket Reply #14 – July 18, 2007, 09:44:35 PM I need one of these to put my 2.3 in... oh yes oh yes Quote Selected
