bpletcher55 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 A friend got me this cool 26 T body and said have fun with it , this is what I have come up with ,still mocking it up . comments welcome ,
Skip Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Blair, what frame did you use under that? Looks really good, sits right, especially if you look at full size Highboy T Coupes. Most frames have that slight stretch to them that you've got down just right. That's not a modified Monogram "T Bucket" frame which probably would trace back to the Little T is it? I have a Flintstone '27 Coupe that I've been trying to come up with a decent, plausable frame for. The AMT '25 T Coupe frame looks too narrow and short, Revell Tweedy Pie is way too short, AMT '25 T "Fruit Wagon" looks way long. I don't have a Monogram T frame on hand to try, but being that it is 1/24 scale it might look right under my coupe with alterations. I've seen a few full size T Coupes on Deuce frames, they just don't look quite right even if they're narrowed or pinched. I'll keep an eye on this one, you've already got a winning combination going here!
bpletcher55 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 SKIP , I made the frame from evergreen styrene square tubing , along with the suspension from parts from other kits and styrene .I,ll try and get a pic of the frame on here .
Randy D Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Hi Blair, Looking good, have always liked your 'style' of building !!! Randy

Skip Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 SKIP , I made the frame from evergreen styrene square tubing , along with the suspension from parts from other kits and styrene .I,ll try and get a pic of the frame on here . That was my next step to go with a frame built out of Evergreen tubing, I have already bought the 2" X 3" scale sized tubing to build it. Would love to see what you did on yours, it "sits" really well that's why I was sort of thinking "Little T" that frame can be made to look really good with a few tweaks too.q
Greg Myers Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Blair, put a little color on those wheels to get some more patina.
