.

This is the start of my model T build. It is a green hornet, but will be some kind of rat rod. I am working on the frame work right now. I also de-chromed a lot of pieces. I will add my own touch with meatlizers and alcad. More later.

I just got out of the hospital for the 2nd time in 40 days. As soon as I can get my strength back I will show you what I have done, just prior to going in. Mike

I had to remove the original spindles on the front and rear axles, as they were huge. I replaced them with proper size rod to accept the tires that I am going to put on it. I practiced on the rear axle with some True Metal wax. Got to work on it some more and do the front axle. I have filled in panel lines where the front glued onto the body. Still have to work on it some. I also removed the grill and will replace it with some wire mesh. I will put some kind of headlights on it. Not sure which ones I will use.

Ok,I got a start on disassembling the pictured Little T "Corpse" that is going to be upgraded with some more modern 70's Monogram "Street T" parts.The second image shoes some exclusive Little T parts that weren't with the Street T.I stripped the chrome from the baby moon hubcaps, the front brake drums,and the exhaust mufflers.I also have some minty headers that won't be stripped of their chrome (just got said headers from a winning cheap EBAY auction).There are small pieces of the front spindles,and rear axle parts by the outer wheel halves.The freezer helped the cause on the original glue de-bonding from the axles to the outer wheel halves (along with a hammer,and a small metal punch).The Whitewall inserts will be painted because the yellowing wouldn't come out of two of 'em.
The engine is the only thing I have assembled,and I will eventually post a picture of it.
