Rocking Rodney Rat Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) This is based on the recently reissued AMT 'Fruitwagon' Model T kit. I scratched together the back part of the body after chopping the C cutout just a tad to bring the proportions more in line. Built in a '60s show rod style with lots of chrome (some plated by ChromeTech). Decals by Slixx.

DumpyDan Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Awesome, you hit that look dead on.......Wow just love the look
Steven Zimmerman Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 I LOVE this ! I picked up 2 of these kits, with the idea of doing the same thing, but just haven't had time. One question; where did you get the poseable front axle ?....Steven Zimmerman

One question; where did you get the poseable front axle ?....Steven ZimmermanZ-Man: You're taxing the old brain muscles.... That front end is out of one of the old Revell T kits, the one where the lower front part of the cowl on the body has a cut out on the drivers side for the steering box mount. I'm sure it was originally issued as a (insert known name here) kit and then subsequently re-issued without the tie-in over the years. Maybe others here can help out with the ID of the kit? I have so much stuff in so many boxes that I forget where parts come from sometimes (function of age). The axle is not chromed out of the box. The headers are from the same kit, again not chromed, I had them plated by ChromeTech.
Steven Zimmerman Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Thanks. I have this 'thing' about poseable front wheels on my builds, not quite ready to scratch build something so delicate / fragile. As you said, a function of getting old....... ..'Z'
wayne swayze Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 Terrific looking rod! ? Great "look", stance, colour and photography!
D. Battista Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 Great lookin' Delivery.... Very nice job on this...!
mrm Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 This one is really nice. The color, the stance...it has attitude. I love it.
Dennis Lacy Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 I still love this. Proportions, stance, style... it's all there! Someone needs to copy it full scale. Imagine how wicked this would look and sound passing by on the road.

Snake45 Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Very nice! You're making me want to build one of these!
