PON "T" AK

[Lyle Willits]

Chopped Model T with Pontiac engine, scratchbuilt 1927 Pontiac grille shell and Pontiac tailights from Mr. Robert Dudek.

Paint is Duplicolor Orange Mist with the ghost of the Pontiac Indian on the doors.

'27 Pontiac grille and '32 Ford headlights.

I made interior door panels because the kit doesn't have any.

Pontiac engine from AMT '36 Ford kit. Scratchbuilt headers. Carb scoops from Reps & Mins.

Great build. I like the last shot the best with the back end. looks great.

[camaroman]

Looks good Lyle. I thought that might be your work when I saw it in your MAMA pics last night.

[Lyle Willits]

Looks great, but is the cowl cracked?

There's a line from left-of-center under the windshield in several of the photos.

The Poncho rad shell makes it.

Gee, thanks for pointing out the one flaw in the paint. Well, at least you didn't give me ###### about using the word, "Indian".

[Harry P.]

Looks cool, love the engine especially, and the headers extra-especially...

[David G.]

That is just too cool! I've been back to building models for a couple of years now, and I have yet to build a good, old-fashioned hotrod.

I'll have to put something on my list. Thanks for the inspiration!

[RodneyBad]

Cool looking T.

Everything Looks Great on it.

Nice work.

[crazyjim]

Very cool looking little coupe.

[Peter Lombardo]

Lyle, this is really well done. Right up there with your usual tight craftsmanship and attention to detail. I really like the engine and headers, but my favorite part of the entire build is the blue paint inside the carb. scoops. That looks so cool and "period". You brought more then a little life to that very old tooling.

[Raul_Perez]

Cool stuff, Lyle!!

The engine detail looks GREAT!!

Thanks for sharing,

[Railfreak78]

Very nice car and I like the color on it a lot. Thanks for the info on those carb scoops I need those for a build. Nice work!

[MikeeD]

Nicely done!

When it comes to street rods, you are the Man! Great mix of color. Never would have thought the blue would look so cool with the burnt orange. It really grabs your attention. Nice work on the details too; wheels, engine, headers, it's all nice stuff. Love the white interior. It goes great with the body color and gives it a nice period look.

Another knock out

[Lyle Willits]

Yikes Lyle...I was just wondering. For the record I love the build. I didn't mean to get you emotional. I was just wondering if it had met some misfortune which to me gives a build character...overcoming adversity and all. Sorry you got your feelings hurt.

You are kidding, right?

I was cracking a joke. I don't get emotional over model cars.

[Sixties Sam]

Very nice, Lyle! I love the Model T rods. Yours is just different enough to make it stand out. The Pontiac grille is a nice touch. Great work!

That is awesome Lyle! Very cool build.

[AlanNZ]

Really? I do. I got REAL emotional the time my ex-mother-in-law knocked one of mine off and broke it!

Ex MIL? Jeez Khart, seems a bit severe, getting rid of the cook just 'coz her mother broke one of your models...

[Harold]

Nice Pon- T- ak. I really like that big Poncho between the frame rails .

[Bobdude]

Thank you,Mr.Lyle Willits,for the plug about the taillights. Bob

Lyle You didn't happen to make a mold of the grille? I sure would like to see that offered.

No, I didn't. I can't imagine there would be much of a market for a 1927 Pontiac grille shell.
