I was at Fry's Electronics yesterday and saw this old school T-bucket. Holding true to the jalopy hot rod roots of the 50's there's a lot of homemade goodies on this rig. Check out the hand-made valve covers, copper water pipe breather risers, windshield frame and fuel lines, long-handled shifter, home-spun upholstery, oil lamp tail lights and transverse mounted leaf spring suspension and amateur paint job.
I'm not too partial to the excessively chromed-up T-buckets and Highboys you see these days. It's nice to see some true home garage work. Respect.

I agree, maybe not all the way to rat rod, but I like when people build their own hot rods. That was the whole point of the hot rod, taking your car or something you could afford and making it as cool as YOU could.
