Taking a spin on the Speedway Motors T-Bucket once assembled is like experience a time trip back to the golden days of hot rods, hamburger joints, and poodle skirts. The following Speedway Motors T-Bucket test drive video is from the actual T-Bucket assembly kit here. Assembly of these vehicles is actually quite simple and requires minimal tooling as discussed in the previous article. Once you get all the wrenches turned that need turning, let the T-Bucket fun begin! Watching the test drive footage of this classic in action lets us see just how much fun these cars really can be. Ready for T-Bucket burnout action? Click here and skip to the good part!

The appeal of the T-Bucket to performance enthusiasts is the extremely high power to weight ratio. With a small block V8  and minimal chassis weight, the T-Buckets are burnout and acceleration machines from  the gods. Not much can keep up with a T-Bucket that is properly tuned and driven. Considering slicks or drag radials? Watch your T-Bucket destroy the launch and 80 foot times. These things are beasts just waiting to be unleashed! Discuss this article with CarDomain.com

Additional hot rod chaos!

Upon closer inspection of the Speedway Motors T-Bucket kit, you'll notice that there is chrome and polished aluminum everywhere. In my opinion, a good T-Bucket needs lots of chrome, a big loud engine, and a very unique paint job. This paint job is rather basic, but with a little bit of creativity the T-Bucket style within can be set free. If you grew up around these cars, or just love the T-Bucket passion, you should really consider building one yourself using a bolt-on kit. Read more about how to build a T-Bucket here.
