One Good T Bucket Deserves One or Two More

[Dave Darby]

Here are a couple Ts I built a long time ago. The Roadster in 1990, the Coupe, 10 years later. 

The Roadster was partly inspired by Norm Grabowski's Lightning Bug iteration of the Kookie T, and features the Flathead from the 49 Mercury, heads from the 50 Ford, and SCoT blower from the 57 Chevy. The belts are made from vinyl tape, and it rolls on old Trophy Series tires with hand painted whitewalls. 

The coupe was built from a pair of basket case originals.

I hope you enjoyed this blast from the past.

Very cool builds! Hard to pick a favorite, both are perfect hot rods. Nicely done.

Very clean builds, spot on stance and superb photography. Harbs card is the perfect finishing touch.

Couple of good looking Ts there Dave.  I love those ole Fatties.

Nice work on both of them!

They are both great looking builds and have stood the test of time. I like the blown Flat Head in the roadster.

Great looking T-buckets!

Yep, like 'em a lot!  I did something similar recently with the bucket in red, using more of the kit components.  They would make great cruising partners!
