Hard to believe 17 years gone by fast. On the 3rd pic, I see E-Man and Melinda. What great memory and lots of fun we had.

Corrections here:

In 1998 the National T-bucket Association was formed. The FIRST NTBA Nationals as depicted in these photos was in 1999 at Branson, Missouri.

And Jim did NOT ever see this bucket before I saw it...... ironically car was located in of all places Mountain Home, Arkansas.

All partz of that car, EXCEPT the body/bed, are spread through out the Midwest. Little known to me, because I did not know anyone up here (in the tundra) in the street rodding world until 2000, I parted the rod out. IF and when ever you see Punkun's new stretched T...my frame from this RED bucket, albeit stretched...is sitting under the stretched body. The rear suspension and wheels went to Russ Gore; the engine/tranny was sold to a fellow just about 50 miles from me (wonder if he still has it?) Might have to find the bill of sale. The trailer behind the bucket now resides in Vroom Krazy's shop....and many other partz ended up else wheres.

There have been times....especially when I am getting out the polishing equipment to do the present bucket, when I really DO miss the old bucket.

Y'all might want to ax Spanky how he became the "president" of the Alpha chapter.
