Mint T is done - Two New Photos

[Dave Mikrut]

When the Li'l Stogie came out I knew I couldn't do it justice but I saw potential in it to use the chassis to

build kinda a show rod/street rod out of it and thusly Mint T was born...

Very observant of you Jairus! I neglected to mention the body for this build is from the old MPC "Switchers" 27 T Coach Cab. A very cool kit, there's another body like this one but instead of a turtle deck it has a small pickup bed.

Nice build looks great. nice color killer back wheels.

[Tom Kren]

Nice job!!!

[vizio93]

[Tumbler75]

Stunning car! I luv the colour and all the sparkly chrome. Great work!!

Very nicely done. Where are the rear wheels & tires from? I gotta get some of them.

[Modelmartin]

Very fun and outrageous! I like it.

As far as '26 and '27 Ts go, there are the AMT Touring and the Buttera '26 2-door sedan and touring cars which are nearly identical to '27s. The AMT '25 coupe is similar but the trunk area is different.

The rear wheels actually come with the Li'l Stogie kit. The tires are AMT an I believe they came from one of the Mopar Pro Street kits.

Thank You for sharing.

All '26 and '27 models are the same as Ford was on a 2 year cycle back then. However, that MPC kit is the only coupe body available, ever! The "Lil'John" Sedan Delivery is a sedan, not a coupe. If you bothered to read my article in MCM I explained it all at the time and didn't feel the need to rehash everything in this thread.

Very Cool Phone Booth T! From your colour choice to your choice for Chassis and Suspension, It all works together to create a unique rod!

CHEERS!

[g1grim13]

thats really nice i love it i just got my lil stogie in the mail but where did you get that shifter

[Dave Mikrut]

That shifter is the radiator cap from Rommel's Rod.

[Modlbldr]

Dave-

Cool little rod you have there. I wish I had some of those Switchers kits. I really like the rear tires and wheels.

Nice example of automotive fine art. Very, very cool, sort of like mint tea over ice on a hot day.
