I wanted to try my hand at making a body . I knew it had to be pretty simple or it would be doomed to fail . After looking around I settled on trying to build on on the manor of the Uncertian T . Many people don’t care for this car but I like it and it does have a simple body . My version is a bit larger I think but I think it came out ok . The body was made with sheet plastic . A broken T bucket model I bought on eBay provided frame and other parts . Other parts came from my parts box . Interior is pretty much covered with red and black felt . Made the dash with gauges from the t bucket . Body was painted with Reving Red . Was a fun project .

That's not half bad looking for your first such effort. I've seen MUCH stupider looking stuff being sold in boxes with very famous "designer" and "customizer" names on them. Millions of such kits were sold. 

Good to see you branching out from your long-time area of specialty/obsession. I TOLD you there was a lot of fun to be had in this hobby that didn't involve the products of The Late Great Mr. Shelby. Model on! B)

Nice work on the scratch building, good use of spare parts and certainly looks some what like where the inspiration come from.

Done well Ray.

Thank you all very much. The chassis came from a broken t bucket kit I bought on the bay. I believe it was one of the Revell t bucket kits.

For the first time scratch building a body, I'd say you did quite well Ray! Looks like a kit! Great use of parts and imagination!

Very nice, especially the lines and proportions. Crazy show-cars can get to look really stupid. A lot of 'em do. But your design works well, much better than most, for an over-the-top custom rod.
