25 Ford T Hot Rod

[sharp]

   This was mostly an out of box build the only things I changed are the wheels and tires, steering wheel and wired the engine.
 The body was airbrushed with decanted Tamiya TS-11 maroon and the roof was painted flat black and cleared with Testors wet look.    
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Thanks for Lookin'!

And to think, these old time "T" kits keep popping up on the shelf. Very good build, and I think the chrome wheels look sharp on it too.

Never get tired of these builds!

Very nice Mike. The black wash on the wheels really make them pop. The Model T steering wheel is a big improvement over the "custom" wheel in the kit. Shifter is a straight pin? If so, nicely bent. Too often they look like a straight pin rather than a shifter. Yours looks perfect. Did you use card stock for the door panels or just painted it interior color? They certainly didn't include any door panels in the kit. Decals for the floor mat or something else? Something about these double T and double dragster kits just makes me happy. Dated and not the most accurate parts but they're just plain fun.

man, nice job! I have always had a soft spot for the '25 chopped kit. The body is just so cool chopped! I am sure I will build another one of these days , thanks for
reminding me of how cool this car looks!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments.

Thanks Dave, the steering wheel I believe came from a diecast. For the shifter I did use a straight pin.
The interior was airbrushed with Apple Barrel lite mocha craft paint thinned out with washer fluid.
As for the floor mats I purchased those years back on ebay.

This is a really cool build - looks great in that color. I just built one of these for the first time too…it’s a classic!!

That’s about as nice as it can get for this kit. The shallow & deep wheels and smaller front tires are a VAST improvement!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments.

This was the first time I built the chopped T, I prefer the T bucket, it gives you more room for detailing.
