The 23 Model T looks interesting.

and the companion C-Cab.

and last.

FOUR-hole mag wheels? That's a deal-breaker for me, as I don't even care that much for the "hot rod" chassis in this kit (I like the one in the common '25 a lot better). Sorry, I'm out.

Strange as it seems four hole mag wheels were not totally unheard of in the 60's.

Those things are hilarious... the small window mags looked okay on the drag coupes and gassers but I wonder who thought those large ones were a good idea.

They come in the GMC stepside and the AMT F350 tuff truk dually and maybe others too IIRC.

... and a google image search for '4 slot mag' showed mostly 5 slot mags unless you were dealing with off-shore 4 bolt subject matter.

No yawning for me.  I could go for the 1923 Ford.  I already have the 1923 delivery van and 1923 Depot Hack.  This kit would finish my set of AMT 1923 Fords.

If you've spent any amount of time building AMT kits, you should be used to chucking ugly custom parts by now.

I have a "Parts Bin"  that is holding SEVERAL of those AMT parts! Building the 3-in-1 kits will fill up a bin for ya!!

Exactly.  This stuff has never been a deal breaker before.

[Bucky]

My bin even has some old MPC custom parts in it, too!

I have a bunch of those terribly unfashionable billet wheels and other parts.  I'm looking at what's left of the Revell custom '48 Ford I scavenged for traditional parts, and I'm thinking that building it '80s style could be fun.

LOL, that's the truth!

I really like that Depot Hack Hot rodded T on those instructions!  I’d build the green box-art version too though, I like that kit 

[hpiguy]

The reissue 23 T went together fine.  I did the rod version on this one, since I've done some stock Ts already.

That frame that needs to be stick built piece by piece was fiddly, but I was surprised when I was done it had all four tires flat on the ground.

Only real mod I did was chopping the windshield and giving it some rake. Otherwise it was all by the manual.

The pad printed Goodyears are nice and look vintage.

Video will be up next Saturday.
