The "Rodfather"

[TooOld]

This is an older build that I took new photos of for another site , I built it 10-11 years ago when I just got back into the hobby . This was probably my first attempt at running brake and fuel lines on a chassis . I also added a MAD distributor , brass screen to the radiator shell , some gauges , and replaced the kits rear tires with some from my parts box . Nice little kit , it's a 70's version of the Tweedy Pie with all of the fiddly little parts .

That's a cool looking rod. Very nice details. The positioned front wheels are a nice touch. Good work.

[Zippi]

That just looks so kewl.  You captured the box art to a "T".  Nice build.

I have always wanted this kit but it can be pricey. I think tje decal sheet is an absolute hoot.

Well done Bob...

Wow how psychedelic is that or maybe that's the shrooms talking ? 

[JasonC]

That's pretty far out man ?

Looks much better than the one I built a million years ago.

Thanks ! I haven't looked lately but I'm sure the prices are getting way up there . If you have a Tweedy Pie it's the same kit except for the wheels & tires , and I have a complete original decal sheet it you're interested .

Andy Brizio built wild psychedelic painted T's back in the 60's and 70's, and he has been also referred to as "The Rodfather". I think it's safe to assume this kit was based on Andy Brizio's builds. Andy is father to famous hot rod builder Roy Brizio. Great build!
