About my T-bucket

This is a dream come true car for me, I started with an idea and I talked to a friend of mine Mr. Bill Darr Prez. of the NTBA (national t bucket alliance) and told him what I wanted to do and he said lets get started, so up to Artesia NM i went on a Fri. When I left Sun. we had a rolling chassis Tig Welded to perfection. He kept it for a couple of weeks and I went to get it and brought it back to Albuquerque to do what I thought was going to be an easy task, ya right. Well I walked out to the garage and said to myself ok now what do I do, so I jumped in full force and 3 years later this is what happen. I have a 572 CI twin blown Chevy with a turbo 400 trans and a Krugel IRS. All Auto meter Gauges and boy there’s a lot of them, When I fired this thing up for the first time I was shaking like a leaf, but it turned over about 1.5 times and fired right up, elelbrock 600 carbs right out of the box, with high flow needle and seats that is it. See video of first start up here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUIqzmoL0Fk          the paint is a White pearl with Alsa Corp.chrome graphics, painted by thee best painter in NM Chris Loidolt, from Loid's Rides. When i finished the car I was asked to be a feature car in the Super Nationals here in NM in Feb. 08, let me tell you that was fun, The car was on TV,News,Tickets,Posters,T-Shirts,check out the site  http://www.thesupernationals.com/
it was real good for the car, there has only been two that i have gone to and took FIRST IN CLASS AND BEST OF SHOW AND BEST ENGINE. Hope you enjoy the pictures

A SPECIAL THANKS GOES OUT TO:
My lovely wife for letting me do the things i love to do.
Mr. Bill Darr,Paul Blasi,Chris Loidolt,Mark SainJames.
Without these people the car would of just been a dream.

Eric sorry i didnt make the T Bucket nationals maybe next year.
