Rocking Rodney Rat Posted May 29, 2017 Share 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. Buildup pix here: http://public.fotki.com/jferren/c-cab-delivery/ Thanks for looking.... -RRR Edited May 29, 2017 by Rocking Rodney Rat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Zimmerman Posted May 29, 2017 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Zimmerman Posted May 29, 2017 Share 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' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
