Looking Good! I like the top chop.

Congratulation's .... You have "Discovered the "ONLY " way to get the kit's too short roof to fit .

Just wait till you try to get the Blower mounted,  .... ( your gonna have to scratchbuild  a new " Longer" pully for it.

Have you tried to fit the interior in it yet ?  My kit was a scale foot thick on the driver's side !  Had to take the "Dremel" to it

I would share more of this kit's "Shortcoming's with you .... but  the list would be a long one..

I got so "frustrated with mine, I put it back in the box ..... that was a year ago.......

You really had to slice the top and the cowl areas. I have not built this kit myself but it sounds as if it may be a change.

Great kit to build on.

Added some side-by-side shots of a stock 25t... Working on full fenders now.

Yeah I really butchered cutting it the first time I should have sliced it down the middle instead. This is a really great kit the possibilities are endless.

I really enjoy this kit I built about 8 so far and have about another 6 in different stages of completion.

What year was this kit originally released?

About 1928 lol

I actually dig the fenders, IF you bring them closer together. tuck the running boards under the body and bring those rear fenders to rest against the sides of the turtle deck should do the trick.

This is really a fun kit to build. My son built the model T (his choice - he wanted the kit just for this!) and I built the fruit wagon. I wasn't expecting much, I just wanted to use the leftover parts. But it turned out cool right out of the box. I didn't paint it, but now I want to find another one to do a fully detailed truck from it. He and I both enjoyed it a lot.
