'25 Tall T

[dub]

Here's the latest completed build from my bench. I took one of the recently reissued Lindberg 25 Tall T's and did a quick and dirty build-up. I used the Fronty and the front axle from the Vintage Police car reissue from Stevens of recent as well. The wheels are the wires from the Lindberg 34 P/U. Everything else is out of 'da box. I had some real fun building this. The tooling is really showing it's age by how primitive it is. The flash and sink-marks weren't bad, but the mold lines were pretty big. Scale seems to be under, too. Fun kit, but don't expect a lot of detail.

Thanks for looking!

You know Dub, that does look a lot like the AMT one. But then I guess all those Ts do look alike. I didn't know anyone was making Ts anymore. Looks to me like you did a pretty good job if it was as bad as you say.

Looks pretty daggone good to me! The Lindberg kit is about 1/26 or 1/27 scale, but looks just fine to me the way you built yours! Very nice build!

Nice little hotrod, Jonathan...but I to will probably take a chainsaw to the top if I get one of these kits and cut out about two thirds of it!

Keep up the great work!!

Thanks guys!

George, the engine came out of AMT's Vintage Police car 27 model T phaeton reissue by Stevens International. Same with that drop axle up front. I did have to take about 5/8" from the middle to keep the tires under the fenders, though. That's just one of the areas where the scale deficiency is apparent .

As for the chop.... I saw too many chopped ones being built around me so, I wanted to do it as a phonebooth to be different.

I like it, and it is tall!

I like the 4 banger for a change

Nice build Jonothan! I like the checkerboard roof!

[cruz]

Checkered roof is definetly cool, nice job on a simple kid man!!!!

[RodBurNeR]

way to go dub! like everyone else said, the roof is a neat touch!

[kasteer]

Cool little rod! very unique and basic. I like how simple you kept it. Sometimes keeping it simple is harder to do than adding too much detail.

Cool little rod. Good to see a non V8 as well. Well done.
