I agree with Jim if it ain't a Ford "T" body" it cant be a T Bucket........ :)!

Drive trains are all over the place just like chassis............Those don't make the car a T Bucket...........

Hey Lincoln Nut, Is my car not a T Bucket? Ceec
It's not a toy if it takes two people to lift it.

Your cowl is part of a "T" is it not? So yes I would say that is enough.......Ford made that cowl on you car I think... :)!

......I understand some of these cars that are hand built from wood/or other things, but when you have a Dodge Body, VW Body or that type of a body, then that should not be called a "T Bucket".....It is a Dodge Bucket or VW Bucket...lol........That's like when people call a '28/29/30 a T Bucket because they don't know the T was not made after 1927.......

Yes, my cowl is a 23 T fiberglass that Bob Chester sawed off so he could use the back on his marvelous Shin Rei car. That car was at Chattanooga, if my feebleness serves me.

Technically, the NTBA bylaws allows any Model T, metal or fiberglass, and any car that sufficiently appears to be a Model T. Yes, we've had Dodges at the Nationals, for example.
