T.R.o.G. 29 Ford

[BIGTRUCK]

I really enjoyed doing this one , of course it had 3 different tire styles and color combos and interior styles but it was fun. Kit was AMT 29 Ford from 2002 when you never knew what was in the box. I had to source some early speed stuff but all parts were comon.  I did a little weathering on the body where the exhaust pipe ends and on the pipes at the engine. I also left the hood with the "still working on it" look. Made a seat cover out of tissue,Elmers glue and warm water for the drivers side seat bottom and gave it a plaid look. Seat belts made from tape. Decals are vintage 60's issue AMT '32 Ford. Grille/radiator housinng is also '32 Ford. Hubcaps and tires are parts box. Entire kit in a satin finish.

Authentic 'period' atmosphere Ken. Top job mate.

Very realistic looking build. The finishes look like what I have seen from these events.

Sharp Build. Captures the look and stance perfectly.

I like the subdued colours and finish.

Very nice build, I live it.

Quick question, did the exhaust come in the AMT kit?

Thanks Charles, and yes that exhaust pipe does come in the '29 kit anlong with many other parts from the original issue Ala Kart, but not the intake. The stock intake / exhaust are 1 pc. Im sure you could modify something to work. These are other 29's that come with that pipe. 1st pic is original Ala Kart box.
