amt 25 T bucket

[johnz]

been a long time since my last post,I'm slow.this is the amt kit I wanted something like to tognotti's but with a little more power.I wanted a stock length hood so I had to set the engine back.I did not want the tires hanging out too much so I widened the back fenders and narrowed the rear end.I put it on air bags so it could be raised to a driveable hight,small block chev from revell, 9"ford rear from amt,added fuel,brake,air and oil lines tried to wire most everything,a lot of scratch built parts motor mounts,suspension mounts etc.many hours.Paint is duplicolor,chrom is airbrushed molotow hope you enjoy it,comments welcome good or bad,Thanks for looking

Great looking color and a very high level of detail on the engine and chassis. I like how your Windshield looks also.

Wow that's nice !  Beautiful paint , detailing , and the widened fenders look like they came out of the box like that !

Saw this on fb, John and was blown away!  Very delicate subject matter and you enhanced all the right elements! The detail is above the average builder's attention and spot on for your roadster! Be a monster to handle... -KK

Great look on this one, nailed it.

Wheels and tires are from?

[johnz]

eric,I can't remember exactly I think they were in the original amt cobra I just made the rears deeper rear tires are from revell sprint car fronts from revell's 37 low rider?

Waaay cool John, beautiful work?

[Koellefornia Kid]

You really nailed this one, John! I love everything about it!

[JohnnyK]

Great color, great paint job. Just great!!!

Wow....what a ton of work it took to create this model.  I also like that you were not a slave to current 1/1 scale hot rod build trends, thus yielding a very creative, yet totally killer result. Great paint finish, too.  Big congrats....TIM

Totally Tubular dude!.... ??

[Spex84]

Wow. That's beautiful. Your attention to detail (and very nice photography!) results in a model that could appear to be the real thing at first glance. The gorgeous paint and jewel-like engine don't hurt, either! Saving these photos to my inspiration folder :D

That's one fancy looking rod, very nice colour and the detailing looks spot on.
