Ford HotRod T-Bucket

Ford HotRod T-Bucket 

This toy is one half of my entry for a local district show were I received a second place ribbon last year.

Made from a variety of Aussie hardwood offcuts and reclaimed timber.

I tried a few different things this time with the toy.

The car is built on a chassis as it would have been with engine, cab and boot as three detailed parts. 

I recessed the dashboard and glovebox with just two pedals & a T-Bar shifter.

The front wheels have been put out the front of the engine as close as I could to that I've seen in photos of the T-Bucket era.

Very big wide wheels/tyres on the back and smaller ones on the front along with running boards in between.

Of course being a "V8 Ford" it had to have a blower and large twin exhaust pipe.
