Steve's Track-Nosed T
(click the image to go back)
Steve based this project on a AMT/ERTL Switchers 1925
Ford kit. He swapped out the kit grille for a resin track-nose
unit from the Model Car Garage which features a traditionally-styled
photoetched grille. Steve ran with the kit's chassis pretty
much as it came in the box, but he added massive front
disc brakes from Pegasus and resin rear drums from the
Modelhaus. The wheels are Revell 1964 Chevy Fleetside
pickup truck parts with 1940 Ford hubcaps from a Revell
1929 Rat Rod kit and tires from a Revell 1926 T Model
Sedan kit. The exhaust pipes you see running along the
driver's side frame rail are made of hand-bent 1/8 inch
aluminum tubing.
