This is the first hotrod I built after getting back in the hobby...built in'98, I think. Engine from the Monogram '40 pickup, Pie Wagon headers, parts box wheels and tires out back. Slisked the firewalland blended it into the cowl. Not my best build, but I still dig it :D

Here's my only T. It's the Revell "Rat Rod T Bucket" (aka Roth's Tweedy Pie). I channeled the body, modified the hood from an AMT '27 Touring, and added T-Bolt Radir mags in the kit whitewalls. Fun build!

Here's my only bucket....although I prefer to call it my 'V Bucket.'

I shortened the frame about 6" in scale, ahead of the firewall; it came out of the box broken anyway. Here's an idea how short it really is:

A Tamiya '66 Beetle gave up the basic motor, and about 6 other kits donated goodies to it as well.
