ICM 1913 Ford T Speedster

[crossfire 2004]

Just a quick fun build of the ICM 1:24 speedster, ditched the fenders and moved everything rearward in the frame for that race car look, while the grille was formed over the stock piece.

Never seen this. Cool.

[Tom Geiger]

Very nice period piece!

Nice version since the kit uses standard rounded fenders and not speedster flatter squared off versions. Like the different radiator shroud, It would be nice if someone cast or manufacture the old bucket seats that could be used in other open cab applications

That's neat. Just missing the bloke with the goggles and his hat on backwards.

This car was the inspiration Steve, not quite goggles but he has the hat !

 

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments.

Great idea and representation of a brass era speedster. Love that radiator shell. Any pix of that part under construction that you can share?

Nice lil speedster, the gray looks great on it. From the days before we did crazy things like adding carbon to rubber and vulcanizing it. Cars have really come a long way.

Sorry but I have no build shots of the T speedster, from memory I built forward from the original radiator using plastic sheet, filler and a modicum of ability until it resembled a Livingstone item.

Thanks. That nose-on photo does in fact gives me the basic layout of the flat panels I would need to make to replicate that torpedo like radiator shell.

Great Racer! I just found this thread.

That Radiator is neat. Anybody 3D printing those yet?
