Just a simple little T-Bucket, finished!

[OldNYJim]

I had started a couple of different T-bucket builds earlier in the year, but neither of them quite were hitting the spot for me...so third time's a charm! 

To nail the T-Bucket I had in my head, I started with an AMT '23 T body, scratchbuilt a frame, used a parts box front axle with Atlantis hairpins and spring, a Revell grille and radiation, AMT T lights leftover from some other project, a Parts Pak Small Block Chevy built out of the packet except for wiring and fuel lines, a scratchbuilt brass windshield, scratchbuilt interior, steering wheel from a Boothill Express, a resin cast skull shift knob, a 3d print gas tank with a Revell '29 Ford wheel nut as a cap, a single scratchbuilt tail light, an AMT early Ford rear axle with an Atlantis leaf spring and linkages, parts box front brakes, 3d printed rear drums and 3d printed 36 Ford wheels and tires.

Paint is Createx for the black parts, silver base with Tamiya Candy red for the numbers and flames, Hyperchrome for the chrome parts and Citadel Oxblood for the interior.

Glad to finally have a T-bucket that I'm pleased with on my shelf...and now that I've built one I've got about a hundred more I wanna do...probably one with a shorty pick bed next.

Thanks for looking - build thread here, for anyone interested:

Not easy to get them to look good, I was never a fan in the 70s but I'm definitely coming around.

Beautiful build.

Very cool T, Jim. I dig the simple, DIY style.

Love this! Was really fun watching your build thread! Awesome blend of kit, 3d and scratch building! I really like the seat, it is very lifelike.

Nicely done.  Great mix of kit bashing , scratchbuilding,  and 3d printing. A great paint job.
