The owner of this 1923 Ford T-Bucket above took
advantage of the knowledge that R&L Custom Rods
is a dealer for Speedway Motors.  He purchase a
stainless steel front end and new front breaks,
completing the look with these stainless steel
headers.  He placed in the TOP-TEN at the Bucket
Bash in Moutain Home in July.  Congratulations!
No, the car below is NOT a hurse for little people!  
LOL.  This is a custom 1923 C-Cab.  After a tune up of
the brake pedals and shifter this truck took to the
road and is quite the attention getter...We hope to see
it back soon and have the chance to help the owner
personality!

Our Story in Pictures!  
This 1988 Camaro (below) was totally restored
by Rick in the early years and can still be seen
in our community today.  The owner at the time
of restoration?  Rick, himself.
Rick's grandson, Blane is a
favorite among our customers
and often is found in the shop
and at car shows talking rods
Below, Blane is showing off
his go-cart modeled after
Rick's T-Bucket!
Check out this impressive display
of spare parts! (left & below left &
right) Thats right, spare parts!  
Rick's best friend Jeremy has long
shared Rick's love for streetrods.  
During the past year on occasional
side with Jeremy to build the
T-Bucket you see here from parts
found at swap meets, left-over
parts and a minimal few new parts
that helped the guys meet their
deadline.  In its rough, rat-rod form,
Jeremy and his family arrived at
Biloxi's "Cruisin the Coast" car
event and experienced the rush of
the ride in their own 1923 Ford
T-Bucket!
"Its not about the buisness...its really about the
cars!" Says Rick about helping his friend build his
first T.  "A person can take these cars to any level
they want to go.  I could build one just like mine
from scratch & sell it to them but the really fun
part is when you do some or all of the work
yourself.  You will see your personality begin to
take shape in the car itself.   When you can say, "I
built that," that's a moment!  And it is a hobby that
you don't have to sacrifice your family and friends
for.  Just take a look at the pics on this website
and you'll figure out that these car shows are
family events.  There's something for everyone
and it is a great way to spend time together!  
Pretty soon, these guys you see at the shows
become a family to you also!
The black 1923 T-Bucket (left) received new
interior door panels, windshield & chrome frame, and
front & rear chrome shocks!  We also installed the
fiberglass hardtop seen in the photo.  It returned 3
weeks later for a new electric cooling fan & aluminum
fire-wall plate.  Future plans may include a new
chrome front end & a big block engine.
