Hey guys. I saw this photo of a pink T bucket online and somehow was inspired by it to build something similar. I got the tall T double kit and built this roadster. It has a few modifications. I've seen so many T bucket rods that I thought were too long and too tall, so I took a scale foot out of the kit frame, and chopped the top and windshield 3/16". I dropped in a Buick V6, which fits the shorter frame nicely. I also shortened the turtledeck about 3/16" to complete the re-proportioning process. I am pleased with the results. Wheels are 40 Ford steelies with trim rings and parts box dog dishes. Paint is Krylon with Testors clear gloss pearl overcoat. The story is that a guy's wife wanted a hot rod in pink, so her hubby made this for her - what a guy! Comments welcome!
This was my inspiration:
Here's the model at my garage diorama. Of course, the lady in pink is the owner!
