Eric Macleod Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 I cant agree more with the othere. The craftsmanship evident here is very impressive. I like it.
BeakDoc Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 This is one helluva piece of model building. Standing ovation.
Dennis Lacy Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 This is absolutely killer! I love the detailed chassis with the integrated Buttera Jag suspension and detailed Ford small block. I also really like the added front filler pan, customized A grill and headlights. The color scheme is awesome, too! I just like it all. Beautiful model!
geetee66 Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 Superb! I love the details, especially the wheels and the mesh in the air cleaner ???

Well, I got the idea when I was a kid in 1975. The year before, Revell had re-released their '31 Ford Model A station wagon as the "Woodstock" kit. I loved that kit, but it's pretty fussy, fragile, difficult to build it and have it come out looking as nice as the model on the box. I was 10 years old at the time. I started it but never finished it. In '75 Revell released an all-new kit of Lil' John Buttera's ground breaking '26 T street rod. That's an awesome car and a pretty good model to this day. My idea as a kid was simply to combine the best elements of the T street rod with the stock A Woody. Simple, right? Fast forward to 2015, me in my 50's now, and I'm finally feeling up to the challenge of this "simple" exercise. Tim....that is one impressive piece of work, and I love the back story about how it came together. The brass body substructure is one (perhaps the only!) way to get that multi-piece Revell body to behave, and the working piano hinges, in scale no less, are quite an achievement. But amongst it all, I find you adaptation of the chassis/framework to be most interesting of all. Overall....an inspirational achievement. Mega-congrats....TIM
