Still need to install the windshield support rods and the truck latch but here she is so far.

Runs like a champ.

The T-bucket is coming along nicely and was started for the first time.
I hope to have it finished and registered in the next couple weeks at which time I will take some good quality phots and post them.

Thanks to Brian Van Poppel of Maryland Performance Specialties for his help with the wiring and plumbing of the car. And for overseeing the start up. Brian is a championship winning drag racer and in his shop builds and services race cars and anything other muscle car/hot rod that comes his way.
Thanks also to Bryson Meeks for the paint job.

Almost Done!

Should be running next week! :)

Getting Closer

Paint is complete. Final assembly is on the way.

Major Updates coming soon....

The T-bucket will be hopefully nearing completion in the very near future. Pics to follow.

Take a Gander Back.

For those who just started checking out my blog I ask you to read some entries from the 2008 links in the right column. Some interesting and 100% true stories are posted. As they say only the names were changed to protect the innocent.

Let There Be Lights

Not too much to report since last post. With the extremely hot August and time away for vacation I was limited in what I could get accomplished.

5 minutes in the garage and the sweat would start.

As you can see the headlights have been mounted along with the shifter, the forward brake lines and the water hoses.

Soon I will finish the brake lines and mount the fuel tank. I then need to figure out the vacuum lines, fuel lines and a host of other items before I tackle the wiring system.

The headlight and radiator mounts will be covered by a radiator shell.

Shifting mechanism in place.
