Model T Reverse Engineered

[Brianl]

I have a fair collection of hot rods of all types & I thought it would be cool to have an original stock car to show where they all came from. I started with the AMT Fruit Wagon of all things but wanted a typical touring body that made up the majority of T's sold here in Australia. I could not find an early bodied kit anywhere so I cut & spliced a pair of two door bodies together. The job is not perfect but it gives you the idea of what they were like. I kept it black because everyone paints their T's various colours to be different. Final shots are grandpa with some of the kids!!

The joke in my club is that I cut up a hot rod to make a stocker rather than the other way around which is my norm.

Have a good one

Brian

X2. The Touring has just the right "look" and your bodywork looks great. Well done.

Very cool. Great little T.

Nice to see an original Model T, as you mentioned they are usually heavily modified.

Agree.

It's nice(and unusual) to see a stock model T built from any source. This shows a great set of skills knowledge of your subject matter. Congrats on a job well done. Thanks for sharing.

That black & gold one's beautiful

Beautiful work, love the T! It turned out very dignified. 

I also love the juxtaposition of that stock T against the modified versions, particularly the crazy Indy-inspired black and yellow creation. That thing is nuts!

 

[Brianl]

Thanks for the kind comments gentlemen. Much appreciated. I like the idea of it being dignified Chris. As I researched it, it became a much more important part of my collection than I first thought. The impact this little car had on society back then must be almost as significant as the internet is today when you think about it.

Cheers

Brian
