Brianl Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I have a fair collection of hot rods of all types & I thought it would be cool to have an original stock car to show where they all came from. I started with the AMT Fruit Wagon of all things but wanted a typical touring body that made up the majority of T's sold here in Australia. I could not find an early bodied kit anywhere so I cut & spliced a pair of two door bodies together. The job is not perfect but it gives you the idea of what they were like. I kept it black because everyone paints their T's various colours to be different. Final shots are grandpa with some of the kids!! The joke in my club is that I cut up a hot rod to make a stocker rather than the other way around which is my norm. Have a good one Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Nice to see an original Model T, as you mentioned they are usually heavily modified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterNNL Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 It's nice(and unusual) to see a stock model T built from any source. This shows a great set of skills knowledge of your subject matter. Congrats on a job well done. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spex84 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Beautiful work, love the T! It turned out very dignified. I also love the juxtaposition of that stock T against the modified versions, particularly the crazy Indy-inspired black and yellow creation. That thing is nuts!

Brianl Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Thanks for the kind comments gentlemen. Much appreciated. I like the idea of it being dignified Chris. As I researched it, it became a much more important part of my collection than I first thought. The impact this little car had on society back then must be almost as significant as the internet is today when you think about it.
