Tweedy Pie (Pye) Modifications

[Dave Pye]

With the recent re-release of the Tweedy Pie, I found a started model that I think I'll finish. It's called the Tweedy Pye II, as there is a Tweedy Pye already on a diorama. I talked to Ed Roth years ago about how I was going to progress though a series of Tweedy Pye cars (He approved of the rename, it made him laugh....then I had to hear the old, "Pie are round, cornbread is square joke).

Sorry about the photo quality and the lint, I took it out of storage and thought you folks might be interested in the next level for the Tweedy Pye.

By simply sawing out the rear crossmember and inverting it, I could easily fit in the stronger GMC rear end from the Revell S-W-C kit. I added some stronger shocks (maybe the 421 Cat kit??) and then, the TP2 could handle the higher horsepower output of the now-dual carbed engine. The original had just one carb.

Ed sure liked this idea, and so did I!!!!
