Guest Gramps-xrds Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Went through the junk box a month or so back and decided ta build a T roadster. This is what came of it. I extended the front spring perch and channeled the body a little over 7 in. scale. Buick nail head is wired and plumbed. The body is an old Aurora 23 T kit with an AMT turtle deck.
sjordan2 Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) Very, very nice and sophisticated. And suddenly it hits me why my Father always referred to any car trunk as "the turtleback." Edited April 17, 2011 by sjordan2
Sam Cates Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Very cool parts build, nice colors, I am diggin those massive headlights!
GTMust Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Great inspiration for a "parts box" build. I also just found out that Aurora made a 'T' kit.... never knew that! Tony

Tony Thanks for the great comments guys. Those big old headlights came from MPCs 27 Lincoln. Tony, Aurora also made the first 34 ford 5 window coupe kit and it was by far better than the others that followed. Both the 34 and the T were double kits and they were pretty darn good kits.

Sixties Sam Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 That's REALLY nice! I like T buckets and that one is as nice as any I've seen. It looks good slung low, but not dragging on the road. Great colors, and engine detail, too! Parts box builds are fun! Sam
randx0 Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 That's cool! I love parts box builds especially when they turn out so nice.

VW Dave Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Very cool parts build, nice colors, I am diggin those massive headlights! Took the words right outta my mouse, Sam
Guest Gramps-xrds Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Thanks everyone for all the nice comments. It's always nice when others like what you've built.
carrucha Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Nice build. Nice job making the spare parts look good.
seeker589 Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Wow... that's some nice junk!!! Yea - What Harry said! Very clean build. I looks like a happy car - not one that is trying so hard to be so evil and mean. It seems to me tha the whole rat rod thing is to out-evil each other.
