Awesome replica!!

Thanks for sharing but the switchers t that I am probably going to buy for this has headers with equal length exost ports even though it has a small block chevy (it also has pretty good wheels and tires for the Hamm's T.

This is very interesting. I love watching the old railroad training/ advertising videos from the 50s. Ive seen this one before but haven't noticed the studebaker's. It is cool to see them brand new! Thanks for pointing that out and thanks for sharing ?.

This is probably a really dead thread given it was started 10 years ago but that was way before I was back in the model car scene or this magazine. I actually made a hot rod Playlist on Spotify with pretty much every song listed on this page. Here's a link. If you like it you can find it easier the next time you want to listen to it! FMC66

Thanks but I'm trying to diside to buy those or say the wire wheels it comes with are a good enough reputation Thanks but I was looking for 10 spokes not 12. If I wanted those wheels I would have stolen them from my drag cal combo falcon.

Thanks for all your help. After doing some research I thing I am going to use the switchers T and a resin engine. Does anyone know where I would find aftermarket 10 spoke wheels like the ones in the top photo?

Will do I think I found a decent resin small block ford on ebay for $10!

Do you think I would be OK making the engine in the chopped t look like a small block ford with different valve covers and so on?

Man those light add the next step for detail. What did you use for the trunk liner it looks just like the stuff from the factory?

This is the kit I have it comes with a SMF and a hemi. I prefer the 5 windows that's why I got it.

I have that kit but I want to build it with the ford not the hemi. So I'm kind of in a tight situation. I have quite a few vintage built up engine's, quite a few are hemis. But the only ford is the awful 427 cammer that comes in the revell henry j and willys truck (I am 99.9% sure it is from the original release of those kits).

I was wondering what engine and trany this kit comes with if it is a small block ford than I'm in luck. My grandpa build a Hamms Beer T Bucket (hence the last name). He put a 289 dual quad in his (my dad said he has to put a ford in a ford i agree). I am hoping that I won't have to source another engine. Here's a pic of the car. FMC66

This might be off topic so I will take it down if needed. A flathead in a camaro!? Some oddball thing I found well surfing the web. This automatically made me laugh (it would be even funnier if this was a big block car).

Hope you find one.

Cool build will definitely be following. I dig those gassers.

This thing must weigh a ton Great build ?.

Stop posting picks of real cars ?. Great build I feel like I could hop in it and make a 5 second pass.

This was some kids vision in the 60s but he didn't have the right tools to make it happen. You made that boys dreams come to LIFE. Nice 60s build. I wish I had enough dough to even buy one of those 3 in 1s.

Oh yes that guy is an inspiration. As you said I'm always on the edge of my chair for the next video. I also need to start doing white glue mockup.

I didn't know what to post under for questions But this one is definitely on my to-do

By topic I mean WIP or under glass

I haven't built it yet. I have all of the stuff for it like decals. The top one is the prototype of the model. The bottom is the one I want to build. I couldn't diside what topic to post it in so I just posted it in this because it was closest to my finger.

Thanks. That is good to know.

Hi I was wondering if your allowed to post electric model trains in here. Thanks FMC66

This is going to have to be Postponed because of something that has come up.
