This is a project that I started almost a year ago, let it drop, and now I'm back to finishing!

Resin Tall-T body on a scratchbuilt chassis made with Plastruct (first time I do this!), engine, wheels and tires are from an old built kit that I disassembled. Paint is Tamiya, left satin on purpose, and cheap white enamel for everything else! The radiator shell was also scratchbuilt, as was the interior pan. The seat is a sectioned unit from a Lindberg '34 pickup.

Basically what needs to be finished is the interior and some front suspension detailing, the windows, and it'll be done hopefully before the end of the month.

Thanks, guys!

Small update...Put in the exhaust (this will be one noisy rod!), painted the interior and gave it texture with artist's acrylics, and mocked up the "radiator" shell. I think it looks kinda neat, with a 60's custom vibe to it.

Sharp Tall T! Makes me want to start work on mine... too many other projects. Looking forward to seeing this one through!

Alright, I love this! That is with exception. I personally dont think the green on the rims and motor POP. But overall style AND the color do POP. Nice build. Keep going! Dont stop now!

Okay, a few updates! After painting the interior, I redid the seats by "upholstering" it with patterned paper I got at Michaels. I also installed a radiator and plumbed it, and added the front suspension links.

I like where this is headed...

Really neat!! Great upholstery work.

Is it my imagination or does the car have magical cowl vent that appears and then disappears? Maybe that home made wine I had was just too strong!
