[j&j]

Keith & PLD, thanks for your complement's, John, thank you for the photo's of the suspension set up on your T model. My skill level is nowhere that high, but I am working on it. Regard's Jim.

I like the extra touch with the transverse spring. Glad you went that way!!

So far it is looking great.

I have been trying to catch up on some of the posts and just got round to this one.

Back in the shed today & we have the tyre's blacked & on the drying rack, & then the wheels & tyres with the first coat of poly. Next is the floor & my own designed gearstick, pedal box & the pink seat. Last two pics are at the start of the assembly of the cab. Cheer's Jim.

The Model T has now been completed. First I would like to say thank you, to all who have commented during this build, it was good to have you bloke's along for the ride. I did not intend to do a WIP because it is really a beginners model & I thought it would not generate much interest. But I was wrong again. Some may say as usual. It was a good model to build & I am reasonably happy with the way it turned out. It is about 16" long & took about 25 hour's to build. I used Australian Red Cedar for the roof, bonnet & fender's. Ebony on the pedal's & purple heart for the seat padding. The tray is of unknown origin as it was given to me by a neighbour. The tyre's were painted with an acrylic black craft paint & the whole model has about two coat's of Estapol Polyurethane Satin. Regard's Jim.
