Speedway Motors Yellow T-Bucket Assembly

[@puttrainguy]

Why doesnt this have 27,405 likes ? I thought it was a fabulous build vid and a really sweet flippin car... I'd be proud to be the driver of it in the end...

[@speedwaymotors]

@tikka3030 You might also consider a Braille battery (available from Speedway), which is not only compact, but can also be mounted in any direction. The Braille battery is small enough to even be placed on the inside of the frame rail under the T body with a custom mount.

[@Ecosse57]

how much more cramped (knee to steering wheel, etc) is the channeled body? can you guys set the frame up (weld tabs, etc) for the buggy spring/ 9" on your basic or nostalgia frames? please tell me you have more than one choice for interior kits. glad y'all are keeping the t bucket thing alive.

[@speedwaymotors]

@Ecosse57 Our T-Bucket bodies with the 3" channeled floor will be slightly more cramped than the unchanneled bodies due to the floor being raised 3" up into the body. Using a tilt steering column may help gain back a little knee space.

[@speedwaymotors]

We offer four different frame options for the Model A, but currently do not offer a Model A body to go along with them.

[@speedwaymotors]

@tikka3030 We have found that mounting the battery and fuel tank in the pickup bed allows for the easiest access to both. As long as there is adequate ventilation and all fuel and electrical connections are secure and safely routed, there should not be a safety concern. However, if you prefer to mount the battery under the seat, it should not be very difficult to fabricate or adapt a battery mount to work, provided there is adequate room under the seat or you cut the floor for clearance.

[@speedwaymotors]

@meesh68504 We certainly are! Look for it at the Hot Rod Super Nationals throughout Memorial Day Weekend. We also plan on bringing it out a few times over the course of the summer to Culver's Classic Car Night.

[@rexjolles]

I didn't see a clutch pedal.... please tell me this isn't an automatic...

[@tikka3030]

Is there any build specs on this car,the farther I get on mine,Im liking this yellow bucket alot,what size windsheild,tire size,rim offset. Would be awesome for us builders,to have a place like this on the Speedway Motors site.

[@TonyTravers-h7y]

I can't see any bracing in the body other than the wood around the top edge?

[@tikka3030]

Is a good idea to have the batt. and the gas tank right next to each other,wouldn't be better under the seat > Just asking cause thats where I'm at with mine now.

[@mengle2004]

Do they make a model a?

[@speedwaymotors]

@Ecosse57 We don't offer a rear buggy spring option on our Basic or Nostalgia chassis, but our bare Traditional frame (part # 715-4800) includes front and rear leaf spring mounts pre-welded to the frame. Please call our Tech Line at 800.979.0122 for the availability of additional mounts that can be pre-welded to the Traditional frame. At this time, our '23 T bodies are only available with a black or brown vinyl upholstery option.

[@Lmidden2]

@SpeedwayMotorsInc it at least gives a pretty good idea on how much it would cost

[@jaivette]

Nice build but really how many do you sell. The generation that can relate to these cars is just about over. I think building and promoting a 32 coupe is more practical. Please don take me the wrong way. Appreaciate your efforts. Speedway is a great company.

[@Lmidden2]

how much would it cost for all the parts to build something like that

[@OJDoesHardlines]

How much does a project like this cost? I really am looking to start a project. I see on your website, that there is a 23t and a 27t available... Is that the length of the pickup bed? Please comment back. Thank you.

[@Evan_5.7]

Do you guys offer the 1923 t-bucket with the option for a manual trans?

[@damageincorporatedmetal43v73]

I'm thinking a wider frame. I'm looking @ the Helephant. I'm thinking a Carbon Fiber Body. I'm also thinking about slide Rail's to help keep the power to the Pave.

[@azclarke5927]

Do they do a right hand drive?? and deliver to Australia? Great looking rods

[@speedwaymotors]

These are only available as kits - we do not offer a completely assembled car. The good news is that our T-Bucket kits are engineered to bolt-together using basic hand tools (depending on the options you select). We offer more basic and bare T frames for more experienced builders who elect to do their own welding, fabrication, and suspension setup. To give you an idea, you can find a link to this T-Bucket's build sheet with part numbers and pricing information in the video description.

[@DrDark3333]

Hi speed way, i've always want to bucket a t bucket. but my experience working on cars is very limited. This video easy makes it look very easy. Is your kits really this easy? if so what tool will i need?

[@Evan_5.7]

Most of these builds use an automatic trans, i was curious if I could run a manual and if there’s enough room for a manual pedal box? I plan to run a 302 with a world class t5

[@speedwaymotors]

There is not enough room for a clutch pedal on this car. The brake pedal is already on the left side of the steering column.

[@Evan_5.7]

Speedway Motors do you guys offer the 1923 t bucket with the option to add a manual

[@tubedude1077]

I hate yellow does it come painted in other colors?

[@speedwaymotors]

Parts come unpainted or in specified finishes. We painted it yellow.

[@speedwaymotors]

@puttrainguy Thank you! It is a pretty sweet ride ...and it would be awesome to have that many 'Likes'!

[@mikemyers4754]

don't look like not tight bolt very good?

[@speedwaymotors]

@tikka3030 This T-Bucket has a 20-inch chrome windshield frame. The tires are 275/60R15 on the rear and 185/60R15 on the front. The rear wheels are 15x8-inch with 4-1/2” backspacing and the front wheels are 15x6-inch with 3-1/2” backspacing. You can find a link to the downloadable parts list for this T-Bucket in the video description. From there you can type in a particular part number on our website for more details. Any other questions, just ask! Thanks!

[@speedwaymotors]

Aaron, We do not offer T kits in right-hand drive, but we do have dealers in Australia who sell Speedway Motors parts. Check out Fiddy Customs for some Australian-friendly T-buckets using Speedway parts. I messaged you the website.

[@teredude]

I live in Co. I will drive there and grab one of these. Cheers

[@ileendannelley4228]

Terrance Fields 'll On

[@speedwaymotors]

A link to the downloadable price list, specific to this T-Bucket, is in the video description. It should give you an idea on the estimated cost to building a similar T-Bucket. Please keep in mind this T-Bucket was assembled early 2010 so part numbers and prices are subject to change. The '23 and '27 are model years that our T Roadster packages are based on.

[@seizedmaul6586]

Speedway Motors can u get all the parts shipped to Australia that’s all I wanna know at the moment

[@speedwaymotors]

@Lmidden2 A link to the downloadable price list has been added to the video description. The price list is specific to the T-Bucket seen in this video.

[@Dcosenza]

video would not work for some reason

[@stevelobdell140]

No brass radiator top and the wheel base is way to short.

[@2LateIWon]

What no fab work that's not a hot rod LOL Awesome vid whish mine was that easy to have built.

[@ramonadorno4392]

hola amigo encuanto sale un auto como ese

[@myfakeevo]

if the frame was black i would have sworn you were building my T!

[@Randolini]

Awesome car, but I would go with a standard transmission. If it's a fun car, it should have a fun transmission. Automatics are great in a traffic jam, but I don't think they're fun.

[@chitoryu12]

We're finishing up a new horror film called Rockabilly Zombie Weekend, and it's filled with classic cars, hot rods, muscle cars, all sorts of cool shit. We got a really sexy black T-bucket parked for the wedding scene.

[@caryevans8598]

I want one :-)

[@damageincorporatedmetal43v73]

The frame should be of chrome ollie steele, Know I'm Beading have. Everybody is so worried about the Unibody. When they built certain machines back in the day. The engine was Part of the structure... Think about it, how are you gonna live without a heart ???

[@rwwood48]

I love this video.

[@armandojoaquin1289]

Que es impreciinante

[@stevelobdell140]

The car is ok I guess for being original!

[@dirtyblond2332]

Fucking sweet, boys !!!

[@briansargeant1949]

Nice but no thanks.

[@craigpennington1251]

Here's another one. Did guys forget how to drive a 4 speed? Automatics are for old farts with arthritis.

[@jamesgareausr.5799]

I'm 77 and still handle/drive a standard tranny! The problem is that most of our young whipper snappers are/were never taught to handle a manual tranny, let alone a 4-speed or a 5-speed tranny!
