1926 Ford T Sedan

[patrol52]

I built this from a Revell kit and a bunch of other parts. Basically all I salvaged from the kit was the body and grill/radiator.

The engine is a Lycoming I-8 with supercharger from a 1935 Auburn Kit (heavily modified for more detail.)

I designed the frame by placing the body on a sheet of paper and tracing the outline on the inside and then tracing around the engine. I then formed the rails out of plastic bar stock. It has a X-member from a 40 Ford and a Columbia 2 speed rear axle.

I built all of the floor and inside panels with thin plastic sheets. I also had to make new windows to get rid of the "etched" windows and due to the fact that the top is nearly 1/4 inch shorter.

I wanted to build a "rat rod" type car, but wanted it to have a finished look, as most people aspire to one day finish their hot rod, so it got a coat of metallic blue but un-intentionally ended up with the flat finish.

WHOA!! That is way cool! You've fabbed a great hot rod there, for sure. Nice work and welcome to the board.

Wow, that's cool!!

[Steve H.]

Wow, Beautiful Hot Rod there!

Love the engine choice, very unique!

Welcome to the board, now how about some more pics?

I believe that the tail lamp is of Hudson origin, but came with a 34 Ford truck kit.

Beside a 29 Model A pickup powered by a Hemi. For a sense of scale, the tiles are 1" square.

I built it to resemble the L-29 Cords with a long front and low profile compared to the other cars of the day.
