Character kept referring to this car as a "rail job." I don't think that's accurate, as a rail was typically a very long drag racing car, nowhere near street legal. The nickname for this car should be "T-bucket."

You are correct about it not being a "rail-job" but there is an explanation for that. The owner of the T-bucket posted in a Hollywood Knights group that they (the production company or whomever was in charge of providing the cars) had a funny car without the body that they were going to use for that part but it wouldn't have worked, for many reasons, so they had to find a replacement for the car that they referred to as "rail job". That was where his T-Bucket came in.

Nobody probably even thought about changing the wording in the script because to them (movie people) a T-Bucket looked close enough ta a "rail-job" and they figured that nobody wold know the difference.

The owner of the T-bucket also posted pictures of it that I, and many other people that had been interested in it, had never seen before.
