This is a step by step manual covering every conceivable aspect of building a beautiful roadster for a budget of under $3000 (Originally sold as 'How to build a T-Bucket roadster for under $3000' with 240 pages and self-published by the author in 1986), later sold publishing rights to Motorbooks International, and published as 'How to build a T-Bucket roadster on a budget' with 144 pages.The book went out of print sometime in the 1990s with the rights reverting to the author and was never republished despite demand. The book is timeless in that it builds a roadster from raw materials, not over the counter parts, It will be as useful 40 years from now as it is today, as it was in 1986. The book was written so that an ordinary, mechanically inclined person could build it in his home garage, for the unheard of price of under $3000, Because it was built with raw materials, with the exception of the fiberglass body, and everything mounts on the frame, the book could be used in any country in the world with any early body and what they have locally available.This book has just been made available on downloadable PDF from Chester on http://www.tbucketplans.com for $9.99
