I got lucky and found one of the original bodies he made. I think the body will look good without making it a clone. The body has good curves that make whatever u put it on look good. The one I have has been on an altered dragster and a semi clone.

Brandy: I don't know of anyone that makes an interior kit for a 27 roadster. The panels and seat are not hard to make and you can do a pretty decent interior at a fraction of the cost if you take your time and think it through. Sid Chavers sells some really great instructional videos on how to build an interior. I purchased his tapes years ago ( when they were in VHS form) and watched them many times and then bought a cheap upholstery machine and practiced a lot. I am no where near his quality of work, but what I do looks decent and can be done very inexpensively. Most of the interiors I do are basic 2 inch tuck and rolls with a smooth roll across the top - typical old school stile, and l can do a tbucket or roadster for under $150.00 and that is for the foam and naughahyde. Don't be afraid to try it. It is really fun and the learning curve is fascinating. Bob @ streetrod 101

Keith, I still have one of your original Top Knotch T's. The car is 20 year's old now and still runs like a new project. I always tell people where I got the car and it's good to know that you are still around. You build a great product.

Re: T-Bucket Trip Ups: Vol. 1

Bill Petty — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 08:53:45 -0000

I don't pretend to be an expert on the subject, but I see some other things in this T that I would consider trip ups. One that sticks out at me is the body and the bed lines. Looking at the side view, you've got at least three diferent lines; the frame, the body and the bed all have different lines. I like the body to have some rake, but this one is a little steep. I think it would look better if the bucket had the same amount of rake as the frame and the bed had the same as the bucket. Another important line in my opinion, is the headers. I think it would look better if they were parellel to the ground, although I know that thats something that's not easily changed.
Just my 2 cents worth,
I haven't begun construction yet, but am gathering parts for a '27 project. These articles are very helpfull and thought provoking.
Thanks,
Bill

Mark: Hope you enjoyed the dvd you purchased and were able to get some new and good ideas. The bungs were not shown in the dvd because I did not use old style / original wish bones. In the dvd, I made all of the radius rods and wish bones and hence did not show how to make the bungs. This is a new car I am building for myself and I am trying to build it pretty much old school , except with newer and better techniques and parts. No more tie rod sleeves welded into pipe or cut wishbones. Thanks for your comments and questions. Bob

Re: Scrap Sculpture Transforms Trash into T-Bucket Treasure

Thanks for your interest and for asking, Lars-Erik.
As long as you note that Josh Welton of Brown Dog Welding is the sculptor it is alright to use the pictures.

Hi,
I am a member of a Swedish local "cruiser" organisation. We try to promote interest in vintage american cars.
I would like to use some of your pictures of the bucket seat metal sculpture to show an example of what art work using scrap can look like.

It might be posted on the internet

Is that ok by you?
