I assume the question/comment is about who paid Ford licensing fees for permission to reproduce bodies and parts. I don’t particularly care about it.
Gibbon? I think they were in Nebraska. But man, 69 seems really early for a fiberglass coupe.
Oh yeah! Usually go Thursday for set up, again either Friday or Saturday. Hang out with my friends in the model car contest for a bit, then...
It wasn’t supposed to be a copy of the original, but another step in the evolution. This site doesn’t care about any of that, which is fine. Those...
She seems to be pointing at two different things.
I’m planning on using a 51/52 F1 grille, without the teeth, in my 54 F100. I widened it. Might run a Moon tank in the center (not really a custom,...
Interesting and very inventive. Use what you have available. Today you can buy styrene sheet, strip, tube and rods in various thicknesses and...
MPC did the tooling for the King T, but it was initially released by AMT. I don’t know if it was ever re-issued in the original King T form. MPC...
Tex Smith’s XR6 was also slant 6 powered, and from the era, though not exactly a T bucket.
If your Model A is chopped 3 feet, you can take the visor off and you still won’t be able to see out of it. I’m just joking with you. I know you...
Coupe and roadster should be the same. Tudor, Fordor and phaeton should be the same, but won’t interchange with coupe/roadster. Not sure about...
Above looks like an Olds or Pontiac? Is that just a cover over the carb, or some kind of marine intake or?
I don’t understand marking the gloves left and right so you don’t have to look at the thumbs. Don’t you still look at the L and R?
Interesting that the green T with the Buick engine has a 4-lug rear axle. So maybe a Falcon? Can’t imagine it would last long behind a Buick. But...
The car was featured in The Rodger’s Journal #5 in unrestored condition, and in TRJ #8 after restoration. Lots of good info there. It was painted...
Teddy does not know the actual color, was probably mixed special. He said it was a medium gold metallic. Also said after it was in the movie it...
Last I heard Junior was not doing well. I know Teddy Z, I can ask him if he knows anything about the second color. Teddy knew Bob Horohata and Junior.
How low will the car be? If it will have a tunnel for the driveshaft, it will need to be centered. Or the tunnel will have to be at an angle. That...
That red truck looks to me like it has a Chevy AD bumper. I don’t mind it at all.
Measure your wheel wells to determine how wide of a tire will fit. Then get the tires and wheels you want. Mock them up in place. Measure the...
The wire is electrically hot when the gun trigger is pulled. If it is staying electrically hot even when the trigger is off, the contactor in the...
I like it. I’m rebuilding my F100 now and have shortened the wheelbase, but a little less than that.
Not Carini’s car. I believe I see a tailgate, so a pickup or RPU. Looks like it came out of Alan Johnson’s shop. I like it.
It was meant to be dual purpose from the beginning.
If they had 90-degree elbows on the engine side of the firewall, you could fab up a cover to hide the really ugly stuff.
Yeah, that looks a lot like what I saw at Detroit Autorama years ago. Sweet.
Pist-N-Broke, I like that a lot! So where did you cut the top and doors?
Those are gorgeous!
One of my very old builds. The MPC Ramchargers dragster transporter. Cool. Somewhere there is a ski boat missing some flake!
My Dad was in the Pontiac demographic. We had a 60 Catalina, then a 64 Cat with a 389 and 4 speed, and then a 65 Cat 2+2 with a 421. I really...
