TooOld Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 This is an older build that I took new photos of for another site , I built it 10-11 years ago when I just got back into the hobby . This was probably my first attempt at running brake and fuel lines on a chassis . I also added a MAD distributor , brass screen to the radiator shell , some gauges , and replaced the kits rear tires with some from my parts box . Nice little kit , it's a 70's version of the Tweedy Pie with all of the fiddly little parts . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragline Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I have always wanted this kit but it can be pricey. I think tje decal sheet is an absolute hoot. Well done Bob... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't looked lately but I'm sure the prices are getting way up there . If you have a Tweedy Pie it's the same kit except for the wheels & tires , and I have a complete original decal sheet it you're interested . 15 hours ago, Kah puts said: Wow how psychedelic is that or maybe that's the shrooms talking 👄 Yeah it definitely has the 70's look !

Dan Hay Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) Andy Brizio built wild psychedelic painted T's back in the 60's and 70's, and he has been also referred to as "The Rodfather". I think it's safe to assume this kit was based on Andy Brizio's builds. Andy is father to famous hot rod builder Roy Brizio. Great build!
