Moon Eyes

[MidwayUSA]

Went over to a friends house the other night to check out his old school t-bucket with a blown 454 in it. Anyway he had some moon eyes light covers on it and I decided I needed a set for my Warrior. My parents are visiting for the week so my mom the seamstress stitched up our rendition of the old moon eyes:

Figured you all might want to see the T-Bucket as well so here it is:

I love t-buckets, my gpa used to have one. Only had a 383 stroker in it, and that was crazy fast! Cant imagine what that beast is like to drive!!

Runs on alcohol and has an 8 gallon tank. Can't go very far before it needs a fill up. They went to a car show/stop light drags with it this summer. He launched it and buckled the rear link arm mount brackets. Finished beefing it up recently and they will try again next summer.

It is actually a newspaper box. I noticed that too. He is contemplating repainting the white lettering on the side of the box for fun. The whole car is basically used parts other than the the frame which was all fabricated tubing. None of it is original Model T parts.

Wickedness. I dig the eyes. Cool retro stuff.

T-buckets are cool in there own right. I'm more of a truck rat rod and leadsled guy.

Thanks!! Mom is a professional seamstress and has done that sort of work since she was a kid. She does quilting stuff now and the work is amazing.

Are those Predator Carbs on there?

Yes they are. Look like they would hold a gallon of fuel each. They are huge.

She was working on some plain black vinyl ones for me when we saw the moon eyes covers. She said it would be easy to do so I let her at them. The bloodshot eyes on my Banshee have been done to death so I wanted something different.
