1925 Chopped Ford Model T

[ModelcarJR]

I picked this AMT kit up a couple of weeks ago. It has two complete builds in it but it also has a lot of problems. So I quickly painted both build last week anticipating that it would be raining all weekend so I would have something to build. I used some partial cans of paint to get rid of them. My last one was Ebony and Ivory. This one is Lavender and Light Red Pearl. Although there were four regular skinny whitewall tires, the rear wheels were only made for slicks. So I had to find two wheel faces and two wheel backs that would fit a metal axle. I also re-engineered the steering wheel to take it off the floor and put it up under the dash by fashioning a loop for the bottom of the dash and hanging the steering column. I also bent a straight pin for a shifter as I didn't like the too tall shifter in the kit. That's about it other than getting rid of a lot of flash on the chrome pieces. I also altered the rear wheel fender hangers so that I could get them to mount closer to the tire. I haven't decided on whether to use the full moon wheel covers, baby moons or just hit the lug nuts with some chrome pen. Other than that its done! Thanks for looking! ?

Nice work.? I like the colour combo. You sure can’t lose it in the parking lot.?

Cool color choices and they look great together!,

That's a good looking Hot Rod.  I have this kit in my stash.  Nicely done.  I like the tag on the back.

Here's the other half of the 1925 Model T kit. I added the chrome headlight buckets due to an error I made with the headlight lenses in the kit. I noticed when I was taking pictures that the body was a little askew. So I took it apart and re-assembled.  I think I got most of it but there must be some warpage in the fender unit. Here are the pics before and after the fix. This is why I take pictures and post them. I usually find my errors in photos! Thanks for looking!

Nice. I like them.

They are both really nice.

Very nicely done!  I have this kit and planning to use it as the basis for a couple of projects I have in mind.  I have discovered the frame for the roadster version is warped so I have in mind to scratch build a replacement.  We’ll see if that ever comes to fruition.  ?. You appear to have overcome the challenges of this kit and produced a couple of great looking models.  While I expect old Henry Ford might not have approved of your color choices I think they look great.

Sweet looking pair!
