she suits me to a T

Here's the '25 turtleback T from that AMT double T kit in a very rough mock up. That Lincoln mill needs a couple layers of grease on it-heck, the whole thang does...Emil looked at me like I was gonna try and whore his wife out when I told him the double T kit gives you almost enough parts to make three cars- he will eat his hat when he sees this jalopy truck that was stretccchhhheddd out with some Model A parts and those damn Kubelwagen rims and tires- a few layers of funk on this thing and it will really have a look going- Mr. Red Primer

1936 FORD i

Been needing a 'thirtysix for quite a while, this one is a cool kit with tons of extra parts. I put a first coat of self etching primer that adds great imperfections for a ratty type of rod, and used the custom nose so fools will say "is that a '36?" This one will fit right in with my dirty roadsters- stay tuned for more- Mr. Red Primer

manx dune buggy i

Really have a softspot for VWs since I learned to drive on a 1972 Super Beetle, and growing up in 60s/70s So Cal, we saw a lot of fiberglass body dune buggies. You 7 big-nose Frenchmen who never comment on this blog will not even have a clue what the fugg I'm talking about. Saw this Manx up in Skyway the other day and had to have it- it's gonna go nicely with my Kubelwagen and baja bugs. Here is the first mockup-Mr. Red Primer
