Dyno Davo Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Yep its me again, this is the Lindberg Bull Horn kit with a twist. I picked this up a few years ago before the current re-release. I've always wanted in my collection a model T Bucket that represented the iconic show rod era of the early sixties so it took a fair amount of re-work to get the Bull Horn kit to look the goods. Firstly I channeled the bucket a bit more so it sat evenly down over the rails. The kit rear end and front end were used but I scratch built new front shocks. I added photo etch brass to the grille and used the wings and emblem for the radiator from the Minicraft Model A kit (they were more to scale). I scratch built new wheel rims and used buttons which I applied Alclad to for the mini moon caps. I used a my resin cast M&H drag slicks for the rear and some parts box tires for the front. The engine was given extra detail with extra chrome parts, clear fuel lines and a fuel pump. I smoothed out the firewall and chrome plated it. The seats were piped using color matched jewellery wire. All the gauge pods were milled on the lathe and then Moon gauge faces added. The gear-knob is a genuine Topaz Swarovski crystal. The fuel tank was also milled on the lathe. The paint is Topaz metallic craft paint with hand laid pin-striping. The windscreen was chopped as well. Hope you like. All the best - Dyno Dave
