'25 Model "T" Ford Salt Lickin' Lincoln V-12

[curt raitz]

One the theme's for the 2012 NNL West is V-12's...

so I picked up the Lincoln V-12 from Early Resins and stuck it in the 1925 Model "T" Ford re-issued by AMT.

The Lincoln V-12 fit quite nicely into the Model "T" chassis

Wanted to build a car that might have run on the dry lake beds and salt flats in the 60's.

I enjoyed building this model, had to "dust" her up a bit to make it look like she was havin' fun...

Thanx for lookin'...

Nice piece Curt... I've been eyeballing that V12 engine myself. Looking to build the car that the song "Hot Rod Lincoln" was based on.

yep...they sure do: http://earlyyearsresin.webs.com/

have fun

[curt raitz]

I love that!! Excellent work. How did you do the headers?

I have some tacky-gauze tape for my fingers when playin' golf...it doesn't work for that very well!

I was wondering how it would do wrapping an exhaust header...worked better than I had imagined!

Just cut thin strips and started wrapping...the stuff sticks to itself quite nicely

I'll make jpg. of the stuff and post later

thanx

Wow, great job. This is truly Period Correct Hot Rod. Lincoln V12 engine fits really nicely and that dusting looks very good too. I like those wheels and tires also. Beautiful model overall.
