Krazy Rick Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Hi, I'm building a stock Coupe & am having a tough time finding interior pics, the seat that comes in the AMT Laurel & Hardy kit, at least has a package tray, which the other versions don't, but it still doesn't look right ...... it ends about half way, at the door in the interior, it seems that there should be more from that point of the inside door panel towards the dash, it's only going to be a shelf model, but I'd like it to be a little more close to correct - thanks ahead; for any help Edited September 5, 2014 by Krazy Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Anderson Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Hi, I'm building a stock Coupe & am having a tough time finding interior pics, the seat that comes in the AMT Laurel & Hardy kit, at least has a package tray, which the other versions don't, but it still doesn't look right ...... it ends about half way, at the door in the interior, it seems that there should be more from that point of the inside door panel towards the dash, it's only going to be a shelf model, but I'd like it to be a little more close to correct - thanks ahead; for any help There's not much in the way of interior photo's of a stock '25 T Coupe out there, this black & white shot does show the top of the seat, stock upholstery pattern, and indicates that there's really not much of a package tray behind the seat itself (Model T's, while tall cars, are also quite small in comparison with cars you may have seen--in fact, the overall length and width of a Model T Ford is almost exactly that of the aircooled VW Beetle--Dr. Porsche used Model T as his benchmark for size, etc.) As for the sides of the interior, again not much in the way of pics--the kit interior is just a one-piece unit, very typical for an AMT kit first released in the fall of 1961, so it does lack a lot in the way of detail. However, the interior door panels are very simple, covered in a medium brown wool cloth having a welting stitched horizontally about 2/3 of the way up the panel, just a handle and a window crank, with window framing that was made in 4 sections (upper frame, vertical frames, and a sill which ended at the inside surface of the vertical framing (these four parts were stamped sheet metal). The interior fabric was a wool, medium brown in color, with rolled and pleated seat/seat back, the sides, upper interior quarter panel and headliner covered in the same medium brown wool cloth, with all sheet metal parts painted black. The door handle and window crank were nickel-plated. Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I don't know how the interior of this 1923 4-door would differ in detail, though Art could answer. But some of the interior details here may be of use. http://www.hemmings.com/hcc/stories/2013/07/01/hmn_drivable_dreams1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne swayze Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Back in the early sixties, a fellow in a local car club (Roamers....Guelph Ont.) brought a model T in from somewhere up north. It was meant to be original. I was under the impression it was a '25. It had the brown wool seats as Art descibed, but it also had a "bud vase" on each side to put small flowers in to keep a fresh smell inside the car. They were located on the rear of the door pillars. First time I had ever seen that. Would they be an aftermarket add-on? BTW..... the car turned out beautiful. Full fendered ..tall top ..and a small block Chevy. Back then, it was one of the coolest rods in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Here's a few photos I found on the web for you. No picture of the package tray. But, a site talked about the package tray. All it is is piece of wood with the same material covering it as used on the seats. I hope this helps, somewhat.

Krazy Rick Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Thanks guys, this is all good stuff; the interior for the stock version leaves out most of the detail, as you said Art, I'm pretty sure 99.9% of them have been built as the Hot Rod version .... if anyone has built a detailed build out of it; I'd sure like to see it & hear what changes they made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's an unrestored car, ( I want to try & replicate the original features, to a degree ) ...... any & all interior pics would be great ..... & maybe a couple of the outside Front, rear & side as well - Thanks for the offer Bill Edited September 5, 2014 by Krazy Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Yes, it's an unrestored car. It's been "worked on" a lot over the years though. Let me transfer the pix I already have to P-bucket and then I'll put them up on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) This is the car. I'm putting all the pix I've downloaded from the camera in the reference section. There will be more in a couple of days. Click here http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=93355#entry1258194 [url=http://[/uR And that's the car's new owner, Josh Mills.
