Hello

[BlownT]

been checkin this site out for a couple of months and gathering parts. Posted a few posts so figure I'd introduce myself. Been a hotrodder for years (btw I am 55 and a piping engineer). Current hot rod is a blown T bucket and also working on a 29 Tudor sedan. My 15 yr old son races a KT100 race kart, and I play with that at times too. Brings back memories of my old Bug/Mac 90 kart in da late 60's. Building the BSR for me to tow to rod runs and for swap meets. It will be chopped low. Don't want no high sucker. Here's what I got together so far. Got just bout all da parts. Now just mocking up, then blow apart for powdercoat. Just like a mini hotrod.

Later,
BT

Hey BlownT,
That is a serious chop, I love it. Maybe it should have wide meats on back, and some small bicycle tires up front and it would be similar to the picture in the top corner of you post. Can't wait to see it done.
Keep us posted,

built it back around 92 and been adding to it ever since. Started out with a tunnelram for a month (tunnelrams are crap on da street). Went to single high rise, then got a good deal on a 6-71 blower from a jet boat guy. 350 smallblock, TH400 full manual trans, 3500 stall, 4.30 gears. Yeehaa.

Got too many projects, but its fun. Got da bucket, working on a chopped 29 Sedan, my son's KT100 kart and the barstool. But I guess he witda most toys wins. Keeps me out of trouble.

T man, I too like your lowrider chopped stool, ya gonna put the ring back on for added strength ?? Your bucket looks great, a wild lookin' rod for sure, curious,, was wondering who made the bucket body, I like how it looks sectioned with the high kickup on the backwall or is that a stock bod ??

Thanks for the compliments. I don't plan on putting the ring back on, but I might see how it looks with it on. I figure it is short enough its not needed. I don't know, we'll see. This weekend I will make some 12" x 7" footrests out of some scrap 1" tubing for the sides.

The bucket body is a 1915 body. It is alittle different than a 23 body. The door sides are lower, the cowl and firewall area is smaller (the whole body is about 2" smaller than a 23) and the rear is up higher. It is from CCR (California Custom Roadsters). Total Performance makes an Anniversary body that is similar but is the bigger 23 body size. If I build another one I would lengthen and widen a 23 body. This 15 body IS SMALL. I would add some more bucket pics but this is a BSR site and not a T bucket site.
