WOW John that T Bucket pick up is just beautiful which is an understatement. An excellent job on that build, however it would look MUCH better sitting on MY shelf believe me. Congrats!

[crazyjim]

You "nailed" it.  Gorgeous hot rod.

[Speedpro]

Very nice clean build!

Beautiful build John. Perfect use for the sprint car tires, those look awesome on there.

As others have said, nicely done. Definitely built to a 'T'..... -RRR

[slusher]

Beautiful model!

[Scale Rodder]

Style and work, i like it.

[Nitrobarry]

VERY NICE engine detailing! Great power plant choice! Love nail heads!

[Dan Hay]

That T is nice! The nail is beautifully detailed. Where did you get the Cal Custom scoops?

[Mr. Metallic]

One tough looking T you have there. I love the stance, with it slung low to the pavement but with the rear still in the air a bit. Bonus points for using the Nailhead!

Any idea on the source for those scoops? I know, 50 years ago and all. but they are sweet.

What they said!  Simply one of the coolest T bucket models I have ever seen.  This is a very inspirational model that overcomes many of the awkward proportions that often plague T bucket models.  Just stunning!

Cheers

thanks to all who commented the scoops came from the amt 65 imperial,sorry not many of those around anymore and if you find one i'ts an arm and a leg for it,seams like somebody makes some resin ones?

[larry ray]

[ewetwo]

[MeatMan]

Somehow I was sure Tim would be commenting on this build. Great model. Thanks for sharing.

[BeakDoc]

Now that’s one keen bucket! Perfect stance. Beautifully detailed.

[JPL-ACE]

Incredible detail. Best I have seen. How do you get the bolts so perfect all over? I have been out of model building for 45 years so I am behind a bit ?

Makes me not want to show my work. Too embarrassing. Sure is nice work.

Oh yah that's what I'm talking about, green is my favorite color. Your detail work is right on man! Throttle linkage, positive red starter cable, the list goes on.
