mr moto Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 This is based on the venerable AMT 1925 Model T chopped top coupe. The boat tail was created from a spare 1936 Ford hood and the chassis has been stretched to make room for the straight 8 from MPC's 1932 Chrysler.

bbowser Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 That's pretty cool! Love the idea of the straight 8, not the same old SBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Kron Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 A delightful surprise. I really like the chrome molding on the boat tail and how you carried through to the fenders and the body sides. It serves to unify what would have otherwise been a difficult transition. The whole thing comes together really well, especially in glossy black like that. Bravo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne swayze Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I agree with Bernard. How refreshing! You have done a lot of very cool stuff here. I like the center headlight and the chrome trim on the cycle fenders! Nice detail and workmanship . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Beautiful. Great idea for the Boat Tail look. The engine idea is very original. Those old engines were torque monsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Well that's different and therefore interesting. There's something about it that makes me think it would look right at home parked next to the Munster cars. Very cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Love it! This has got to be the most interesting version of the AMT T coupe I've seen someone build to date. Edited February 15, 2017 by Chuck Most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Wow! A stunning Rod. What did you use for the Velocity Horns on the Carbs? They Don't look injection molded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr moto Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Wow! A stunning Rod. What did you use for the Velocity Horns on the Carbs? They Don't look injection molded.IIRC, the velocity stacks came from the 'three carb setup for the Lincoln engine in the '25 T kit. They are definitely a standard item from some AMT kit that I had handy.Thanks for all the comments and compliments, everybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
