Absurdi-"T"

[johnyrotten]

This thing has been gnawing at my brain since I bought it. Originally wanted to build one box stock, turns out I got took and the seller was less than honest. Anyway lemons lemonade and all that, here's the plan. Injected nailhead, ford nine, wire fronts with no brakes and stupid wide rubber out back. Already scratch built some ladder bars and swapped the front axle.  Flat black or candy paint, not sure yet. I'll make something out of this mess.

Well that's not fun when you don't get what ya pay for.  But....sounds like you have a good plan.

I'm a sucker for flat black!

That tall look is always a standout. Way to go.

If I can find a mr horsepower decal, that's my vision. Going to scratch build an aluminum firewall as well.

Is that the Lindberg Tall-T?

I had one and just gave up on it.

Your ideas look great!

It is the Lindbergh. Why did you give up on yours?

I just hated the wheels in the kit, and the lousy engine.

I should have persisted the way you have.

Did yours have the AMT '34 Ford Pickup Chrome Tree?

Mine Did it was so out of place in the box.

Yes, it had that parts tree, pretty much nothing else. It was a "sealed" kit, liberated of most of the good parts and re-sealed. Buyer beware in my case, I know to never deal with that vendor again.
