It isn’t easy seeing Hot Rod or T-Bucket where I live and honestly I was never interested about Kustom Kulture world (I did not even know what they was ...).
Then I saw some models of other international LEGO builders and I was impressed.
I like a lot the "T-Bucket", built on the basis of the 20's Ford T with a custom frame and a big V8 engine.
While I was waiting for some pieces from some Bricklinkers to make a new large MOC (I’m going to share it as soon as possible…), I built my sixties style T-bucket (during the ‘14 Christmas holiday).
Here it is.
Below my T-Bucket in californian style, with a Deus ex Machina surfboard on the seat...
My LEGO T-Bucket has the two-seater body of a ’23 Model T roadster with a back turtle deck (inside there is the gasoline tank).
A Model T radiator is fitted and a powerful Chevrolet V8 small-block with a Supercharger send power to the big rear tyres.
The body and the turtle deck can be separated by the chassis and you can see the transmission.
One of the detail I prefer are the exhaust pipes made by 4 mm hoses. It hasn’t been easier push four hoses inside the “Tree Palm Trunk”…
It was fun to build it and it surely will not stay alone…
As usual on my flickr stream you can find out more info and pictures... I wait for you there...
