Old T-Bucket Build - 30yrs ago

Hey guys. I found some old photos of my old T-bucket that I built thirty years ago or so. I scanned them in because this was long before digital cameras. For the build, I used telephone wire for the spark plug wires, wrapped guitar and copper wire for the fuel lines, balsa wood for the dash and black velour for the bed cover and carpet plus aluminum tubing for the functioning front axle. My how things have changed. This was the first model I ever entered into a contest and, to my utter amazement, I won Best of Show.  Right now, its laying in a few pieces so I'm going to dust it off, put it back together and place it in the display case.  As always, comments are welcome.
