a 'Fad-T'

[Calb56]

I never got into these in the 70s as a kid but when I grew up I started to really dig them.

Yours is perfect.

I agree, same with chopper motorcycles. So over-the-top that you have to enjoy them at face value!

I've thought about trying to build one of my own, but everything has to be "just right". It's gotta be period perfect - no modern updates for one of these!

Beautifully done, not often seen style.

A beautiful masterpiece!  I always thought of the custom Model T as special and the talent I of the builder".

Very nice!!

[Koellefornia Kid]

Very nice build and a great combo of cool parts!

That is one cool looking T!? I enjoy seeing real ones, but I wouldn’t want to own one….maybe a model though??

Guess I’m quite a bit late to the party. Some friend I am! ?‍♂️
 

Absolutely nailed it. It’s everything a Fad T should be! Perfect proportions and what makes it (for me) is the top and windshield struts. The headers and tall air filters are right-on, too. Love it!!!

In my opinion, this is the best application possible for the Rat Roaster engine straight out of the box. Those headers always screamed Fad-T to me. And the car you built around it is spot on. Well done.

Thanks, ADL. Looking forward to seeing yours in this section, too. After all, you got me started on this one in the first place! (Notice I did put the Weiand decals on the blower, too.) -RRR

Thanks, Craig. That's the first thing I thought when I first saw those headers as well. Hideous on a '32 roadster, though! -RRR

That is just SO sharp! Love it!
