O.K. I've got too many projects going as usual. What am I going to do with the new big T? Let's take a walk on the wild side. I try to divide my modeling time (limited) up between projects, they are all moving along but I just can't resist this one.
1970's "fad" show car.....I'm going to "borrow" from some of the greats, Roth, Casper, Alexender Bros., Barris....you know what I'm talking about. I have the new T kit as a basis for this one.
I've done some drawings and weeded out the ones that are just plain butt ugly.
What I can tell you so far is that it will be totally insane......if it doesn't have 2 engines (side by side) it will have 2 blowers. Huge rear tires....skinny fronts. 1960 Chevy rear fins, modified Deuce grille, ala Beach Boys and tons of do-dads. Engine or engines?......Mopar or No Car....gotta be elephant engine or engines.....unless you guys can talk me into some other power plant.
I'll start posting photo's and info as soon as I can. I have to finish a AH-1G (Cobra) I promised my wife and some parts for Dan. She's on a Nam kick and belongs to a number of forums that deal with that stuff.
Anyway...I'll be posting it on this thread as I wander off into the past....again. Did somebody say bubble top? HFC, I'm having trouble finding magenta crayons....got any you can spare? The vintage ones with the purple haze wrappers please......they don't seem to leave me with that morning after fuzz. :)
