T Time

[Terry Jessee]

T-buckets have been around since about 1914. Here's a few T kits.

This is AMT's 1925 Model T pickup from the original "Double T" kit.

And here's a hot rod version--again, from an original Double T.

This is a 1923 T built from the 1975 "Street Rods" series kit. Much different from the original '25 kit. This is built as I remember a drawing I did in about fifth grade. I wanted to build something like this from the Double T, but didn't have the skill at the time. So I did it later.

This is the boxmate for the black stock T pickup--again, another original Double T model. Wheels are from an original AMT Parts Pack.

This model is the AMT 1927 T Touring, built from the 1968 edition of the kit, and done to replicate the box art hot rod.

Tom Daniel said that the "Red Baron" was an idea based on a T-bucket, so I include it here.

This is Lindberg's old T bucket kit--this one is built from the 1970 "Tee Wagon" edition.

And here's a Wild Willy Borsch drag T.

Beautiful T-bucket builds Terry. I like all of em'. Thanks for sharing them.

I can't wait for the reissue of the double T kits from AMT round 2.

Cool Ts, Terry! There is something very appealing about Ts. You can do anything with them. They are a great canvas for anyone to paint on to express themselves.

[Chuck Most]

I like them all, but these two are my favorites!

Oh man, Terry, that first one definately brings back the memories. I learned to start and drive one at about the age of 8 or 9. Learned to watch out for the crank as well. One set of busted ribs was enough, lol. I grew up learning about and helping restore several old fords. Beautiful models, thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Very nice builds of not to often seen models. I remember building those kits.

Terry , did you really have to tease us what with all that REAL A M T NEAT STUFF ? Common , I want the Double T back as much as a lot of the rod guys do but since A M T Has burned so many bridges so many times over the years , well it's not a done deal for even the " New " A M T anymore .

Of course, it's always best to believe it when you see it but there's a release date of December '09 for the Double T!
