Fruit Wagon T Bucket

[Silvercreeker]

Done!  Hands down my favorite build yet!  
This is from the AMT Fruitwagon kit. Wanted to build a typical early 70’s hotrod. 1925 TBucket, 368 Lincoln Y Block motor, tangerine flame lacquer paint, aftermarket VCG Resins air cleaner and Tiki shifter, and an early 60’s NY plate. This kit came out in 1969, and I remember as a kid looking at it at in the hobby shop in Silver Creek and thinking how cool it would be to build it. Over 50 years later, I did it justice!

Looks great. I especially like the headers. Hope you reversed the steering gearing!

Cool period bucket. You nailed it. I loved these T buckets when I was a kid. It's been 45 years since I built one, might soon be time to build another. Very nice work on yours.

Been perusing a stack of mid 50's to early 60's Rod & Custom magazines and I could swear I saw one just like this in one of them. What I am saying is this T-Bucket fits the style of that time frame.  It is one cool hot rod. BTW where did those front tires come from?

Beautiful t-bucket!

The front tires came in the Coke 49 Plymouth. (5 bucks at Walmart)
