VW Dave Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 After teasing everyone with the small picture in my 'carb stacks' post, I wrapped up this looong overdue build...just in time for the NNL east last month. (don't mind the orange peel...that's a Testors enamel job done 20 years ago) And here it is in the MCM photo box at the NNL East. Color me a proud papa: I had this model about 90% done in the late 1980s, and boxed it up after hitting a stumbling block regarding wheels/tires and a couple other niggling little bits; it was painted and the chassis fully assembled. Fast forward to 2011: I disassembled and resprayed the engine block(20 year-old me made it orange!?), fitted a set of big & littles from a Revell 'Rat Rods' kit, and wrapped it up in just a few days' work(stretched out over a month or so). I have a bunch more pics here at the link: T TIME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingiguana Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Very cool !!, love it ! but, is it just me, or is the header on the passenger side sitting too far forward, the front tube isnt contacting the engine ?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Nice work Dave. I like it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slantasaurus Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 That T looks like a perfect time capsule to the early 60's. Is that 20 year old Testors black enamel dry yet ? I know it sometimes takes a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW Dave Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Thanks for the kudos, guys; I think the enamel has finally finished gassing out Joe - The header lines up fine, the big chrome generator just blocked your view in the 1st photo; in this workbench photo(from the link provided) you can see it better: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
