Why are there no iconic Tee's kited?

[Greg Myers]

Save for the Big Tee.

Just leafing through my copy of Rodders Journal "Deuce" and I noticed there were quite a few Deuces in kit form, American Graffiti Coupe, The Orange Crate, Li'll Coffin, Dan Fink Speed Wagon, just to name a few. I'm sure there others , while not named come very close to Deuces kitted.

Perhaps if they had sold more of the Little T when it was released or re-released; or the more recently issued GoodGuys T bucket kit (with the companion trailer).

Perhaps the iconic T's just didn't have the following that the more exotic show rods have had.

Dunno.

perhaps if they sold more Little Ts i would have an easier time of finding parts to complete the restoration of a partial kit:

my memory of the "good old days" is that model t's, and particularly bucket t's were well represented, perhaps overrepresented. they were available in all shapes forms and styles from bone stock model t, to mild customs like the tweedy pie, to wild customs like wild dream to experimental visions like XR-6 and all shades in between. not to mention the "big" series of big t, big rod, big drag, big tub etc and then there are the lindberg 1/8 Ts.

you couldnt visit a hobby shop without having to move the model t kits to get to the rest.
