AMT '32 Ford 5-Window & Model T Hot Rods

[Casey]

These are some of my Dad's builds from the '60s when the Double T and Deuce ktis were new. Sadly he threw out[/] the chopped T coupe with the Lincoln engine and Latham blower a few years ago when he moved...still mad at him for that! He's not big into dusting, either.

Looks like he used the wheels from the AMT '66 Mustang kit (which he also built and still has) on the Deuce?

And the T:

I think the old builds like this are just great to know the story behind.

Very nostalgic, Casey! Nicely-& naturally-weathered, lol. Definitely keepers. Too bad about the chopped T. Bart.

KEWL!!!

Those are true survivors. The barn finds of the model world. I would dust them off and let them be.

[Starliner Kustoms]

Wow! Those are cool! I'd put those on display just the way they are.

ah,

ahh,

ahh - choooo!

I really envy you having some builds of your dad's, and I love these old AMT kits. They have something undefineable that's worth displaying just as they are. I really wish I had some of the models my own father built. He didn't do cars, but I remember a bright yellow P-47 done as a trainer. I don't know if there were actually any yellow P-47Ds, but it was a real thing of beauty to a kid, and it inspired me to try to approach his build quality.......which of course I couldn't.

What a fantastic slice of history. I absolutely love that 32!

[High octane]

My dad was never into cars so I had to pick up on them on my own. Consider yourself lucky that your dad was and if I were you I'd just give those models and good bath, dry them and display them as built.
