mr moto Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 This is based on the venerable AMT 1925 Model T chopped top coupe. The boat tail was created from a spare 1936 Ford hood and the chassis has been stretched to make room for the straight 8 from MPC's 1932 Chrysler.
bbowser Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 That's pretty cool! Love the idea of the straight 8, not the same old SBC.
Ramfins59 Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 That looks really great Manuel. Very original idea and well done.
Bernard Kron Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 A delightful surprise. I really like the chrome molding on the boat tail and how you carried through to the fenders and the body sides. It serves to unify what would have otherwise been a difficult transition. The whole thing comes together really well, especially in glossy black like that. Bravo!
wayne swayze Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I agree with Bernard. How refreshing! You have done a lot of very cool stuff here. I like the center headlight and the chrome trim on the cycle fenders! Nice detail and workmanship .
espo Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Beautiful. Great idea for the Boat Tail look. The engine idea is very original. Those old engines were torque monsters.
Snake45 Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Well that's different and therefore interesting. There's something about it that makes me think it would look right at home parked next to the Munster cars. Very cool!
DumpyDan Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 This is a beautiful rod, looking at the detailing this is an incredible looking model.
Chuck Most Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Love it! This has got to be the most interesting version of the AMT T coupe I've seen someone build to date. Edited February 15, 2017 by Chuck Most
High octane Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Great job on that street rod, I'm lovin' it!
stavanzer Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Wow! A stunning Rod. What did you use for the Velocity Horns on the Carbs? They Don't look injection molded.
Krazy Rick Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Very creative - fantastic styling you've done with this - and your display is right on the mark - thanks Manuel !! Edited February 15, 2017 by Krazy Rick added
mr moto Posted February 15, 2017 Author Posted February 15, 2017 Wow! A stunning Rod. What did you use for the Velocity Horns on the Carbs? They Don't look injection molded.IIRC, the velocity stacks came from the 'three carb setup for the Lincoln engine in the '25 T kit. They are definitely a standard item from some AMT kit that I had handy.Thanks for all the comments and compliments, everybody!
Belugawrx Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I would echo all of the above ManuelExcellent Rad rod dressed in a tuxedoCheers
