The T Bucket is my first Hot Rod which I bought in 1974.
It was a 27 T made from the back half of a tourer. Powered by a 292 Y Block and 3 speed manual trans.

The next car is the first rod I built from the ground up.
It's a chopped (4"), channeled (14") 1936 Ford Coupe. I bought the body in 1975 and it took 10 years to build as I was being moved around by the Navy quite a bit (including 2.5 years in Seattle, Wa). It did a lot of drag racing in its time, plus many thousands of miles to rod runs with my knees up around my ears! Our kids grew up in this car and it will always be my favourite. Powered by a very healthy 302 Windsor, Customline diff and C4 trans. I blew 3 engines in this thing - the first after only a week on the road in 1989, the second after flogging it to Valla Park rod run with no oil pressure and the third at the drags in 1999 when I put 2 slugs out the side of the block. 2 weeks later, it had its 4th and final engine in, a pretty good one too. It was sold to a young rodder in South Australia at the 1999 Street Rod Nationals. He has given it a freshen up and is cruising all the time.

This is my current project, a 1936 Plymouth coupe.
It is powered by a 360 Chrysler, 518 Mopar 4 speed auto trans ( a 727 with OD), 9 inch diff. The engine will be injected with full EMS and the car will have air, steer, tunes, etc etc etc. I am also building my Wife's 56 Crown Vic, ex-Seattle car which will have a late injected Ford engine and auto.
