What is t bucket hot rod?

A T-bucket hot rod is a traditional custom car style that originated in the 1950s and 1960s. It is based on a Ford Model T, or T-bucket, chassis which features a lightweight body, typically a shortened or "bobbed" version of the original Model T body. The body is usually made from fiberglass or steel, with a distinctive bucket shape that gives the vehicle its name.

T-bucket hot rods are often powered by large V8 engines, typically from Ford or Chevrolet, and are known for their high performance and loud exhaust notes. These vehicles are often customized with bold paint jobs, chrome accents, and unique features such as exposed engines and large rear tires.

T-bucket hot rods have remained popular in the custom car scene and are often seen at car shows, drag races, and other automotive events. They are prized for their combination of vintage style, high performance, and overall cool factor.
