Speedway Motors Tribute T-Bucket

"What to make with the remainings of the Revell 32 Ford 3window coupe hot rod kit from which i only used the body shell for a different project?"

I decided to make a simple t-bucket hot rod, like this one built by Speedway Motors:



Frame was scratch built from 3.2 x 2 mm styrene bars. Engine and transmission mounts were used from the kit frame, front axle was moved ahead of the frame.

Body shell is the interior tube of the 32, sectioned and channelled over the frame with a 1/8 honda motorcycle exhaust used for the new transmission tunnel. Bomber seats were scratch built from 0.5 mm sheet styrene.

Engine is a 302 ford with - both scratch built - air scoop and lake style headers, radiator is also chopped and heavily modified. Fuel tank was molded into the frame, i cut it out and sanded into shape.

Here are the photos of my finished built:

Great little parts build.

Pics are a bit too big.

Nice work though!

Great stuff!!

Not bad for "leftovers".

Excellent build! The whole 'spare parts' (aka Frankenstein) build things is so much fun. This turned out beautifully.
