    Default Model T Ford Ute

    Hi all,

    Been a while since I added anything to the site. Bowls and fishing and grandson - time consuming but most enjoyable.

    Finished the A Model Ford Fire engine

    Attached are photos of my WIP T Model ute. Am a bit of a Ford fanatic. Have an XR6 FG 11 ute.

    Photo 3 shows the hinged bonnet. Photo 4 shows the 4 cylinder engine

    Hoges.

    Fantastic Keith! This might be what all Fords look like in a few years time.
    Glad to see you enjoying all your time with many interests, but don't forget to keep us up to date with all your projects and WIP's.

    Hi,

    Motor comes in kit form. Purchased at Australia Post or at AutoPro. You can get 4 or 6 cylinder motors. Cylinders, valves actually work. See through plastic casing so you can see operation. Runs on AA batteries. Costs about $60. Takes about 4 hours to assemble with care. I scaled up from motor dimensions.

    Hi Crowie,

    The ute is 520mm wide, 770mm high and 1600mm long. Think I made it a bit too large, but good to work on.
