Lindberg T kit bash.

A little more on the ‘T’s.....using plasticard I’ve sheeted out the bucket interior for a custom finish, and as these kits never come with cooling fans I’ve made an electric fan to keep things cool.
The original longer black body now sits on an original Lindberg short chassis lengthened by 2”

The 'Tweedy Pie' style bucket is the way to go IMO Ron. And I think it would look great with the 'angular' fenders too.

Keep at it!!

Yep Al, things are coming together after I lost my way a bit. The black body has progressed today with the addition of front axle.....and I think I’ll use the later ‘27 T radiator grille too.

Love that black T now !

The two Lindbergs are slowly going forward. They now have steering wheels, columns and boxes fitted - and interiors are almost done.

Both are looking great Ron. Keep at it and you'll soon have two fine models finished.

Looking good.

The Old Lindberg kits have taken a back seat to the traditional ‘32 roadster that I have also been involved in - but they have paint, but still have lots of work ahead. The seat isn’t quite right on the dark blue metallic car, so it will need fettling and require another coat of paint on the body - and I was thinking of adding scallops to break up the slab sides. The V6 will need ‘specialist’ exhausts, but I’d like to see it on it’s wheels by the end of the month.
The fendered ‘T’, once sanded and primed again needs to be in a bright colour, some kind of silver metallic, but once that is done it’ll be almost there, barring the detail.

Everything looks great Ron. I've been dealing with some health issues and have done very little at the bench.

Wow! Ron, these builds just get better and better with each update.

Thanks guys -
I can sympathise with you Sam, all my ailments are stopping me from getting out and about - and building models is my only exercise !

This week I chalked up another birthday, which surprises me as I always think each year will be my last - yet I’m still here.
In the photo below is a picture of myself and my grandmother in Middlesbrough - but check out the car in the picture - it wasn’t unusual to see 1930’s cars on British roads then, which might be the reason why I have a penchant for older cars and hot rods. The photo is dated 1949.
