27 T touring on 32 frame


Austin NJ

Recommended Posts

Started off as the T touring kit with the independent front suspension and jag rear end. I wanted to build something more traditional so I used the 32 frame from the revell model a roadster kit and a bunch of other parts from that. Other parts are from parts box. This is my first scratch built rod and I'm happy with how it turned out. It's not that accurate but it looks better built and on the shelf.

That's cool! I like the parts choices and color,it has that early 60s look.

The front shocks seem to be installed upside down though??

 

Only the most experienced modelers mount the shocks like that :D just kidding I totally didn't realize it and made a newbie mistake hahahaha.

Re: the shocks-- the funny thing is, I actually prefer how they look in that orientation!, it's just that mechanically it wouldn't work.

Just say they're torsion bar levers (torsion bar mounted inside the frame rails) with hydraulically dampened self-leveling gyroscopic headlight mounts. Totally intentional engineering :D
