But where to start

T's everywhere. IMGP0887
T's everywhere. IMGP0893
T's everywhere. IMGP0894
T's everywhere. IMGP0892
T's everywhere. IMGP0891

2 possible engines

I'm leaning toward the Pick up for a stock build, and go nuts with the rest.

Have not acheived much, but I'm having fun digging through all my boxes.
T's everywhere. IMGP0924

This was going to be stock, but Clutch beat me with a really nice build. Soooo?
T's everywhere. IMGP0926

This looks promising

Still changing parts in and out, so will be a short while till I settle on what I want.

Steve - Get hold of the latest issue of The Rodders Journal and you'll find 1 pic of an original hopped up T from about 1920. I'd scan it for you but my scanners not playing ball.
It's basically a T pick-up with the bed & 'guards removed and an OHV conversion on the 4 banger. It rides on wire spoked wheels.
It'd be easy to do using the bits you've got there plus maybe tuning parts from the Revell '29 RPU or '31 Sedan. Finding good wire wheels in a large enough diameter would be the hardest bit but I think some from a 30's sports car kit would work.

Yeah sorry bout the mate...guess we had the same idea. Doesn't matter though, just build them however you want.

I like the direction you're heading in.

No worries, just did not expect to see a stocker, let alone a pickup T's everywhere. Icon_biggrin .

I'm thinking a Amodel four bager with speed equipment, later model wire wheels & lower suspension. Sort of a low budget build in progress.

Funny what a "slip with the saw" can do for a new configuration? I think it looks great - keep us posted please.

Sprayed the first coat of primer on these, still a lot of body work to do on the tall T, other 2 are just about right.

Have modified the `T chassis for the pick up. Got it lower and made new mounts for the A engine and moddified suspension. The wheels are AMT `32 Vicky wires and Amt tyres.

The motor is out of the AMT `53 Studebaker.

The truck will be a faded black, as for the 2 coupes, who knows.
