As John tells it:
I became hooked on T-Bucket hot rods in the Spring of 1957, when my 8 year old eyes were transfixed on a full page photo of Southern California rod builder Norm Grabowski chowing down on a burger while seated in the coolest car I had ever seen! The flames and skull shifter were awesome and the hopped up Cadillac engine with that wild exhaust hanging out there for all to see was mind-blowing!
Shortly thereafter, I also discovered the fascinating T-Buckets of TV Tommy Ivo, Marty Hollmann and Bob Johnston.
Then, when Ed “Big Daddy” Roth’s T-Bucket inspired Outlaw appeared I became hooked for life on T-Bucket hot rods.
On New Year’s Day, 2009, I blogged about the undiscovered genius of Chester Greenhalgh who had written the then out-of-print “How to Build a T-Bucket Roadster for Under $3000” and not long after I developed a friendship with the long lost Chester that led to our partnership in marketing the eBook version of his legendary T-Bucket “how to” at our TBucketPlans.com website. And the success of that led to Chester producing four more innovative hot rod how-to eBooks we now market.
