This is a video showing two of my vintage Monogram models I built as a youngster in the late 1960's. The ICE T and the Trantula dragster.

Just found this on YT. This T-bucket model was basically scratch built or "kit bashed" as they say in the plastic model car world. Many of the parts where however fabricated by myself. The chassis was all custom built using brass channel and tubing. The front leaf spring,chrome tube shocks ,rear coil overs,steering arm and linkge where also all fabricated. The engine detail was the most difficult with all the fuel lines and wiring.The car is fully plumbed and wired with working lights and steering. I also sourced parts from several different 1/8 scale models such as the Big "T" and the Monogram/Lindberg T-bucket models along with the Revell Duece. If you enjoyed this video please check out my other uploads for more great model cars and visible engines.

Even bigger than the 1/8 scale Monogram model kit that many gearheads built as kids, the real-life "Big T" made the journey north from builder/show promoter Darryl Starbird's custom car museum in Afton, Okla.
