It's amazing what you can do with a box stock kit. I believe it shows how good a builder really is. Thanks
I vaguely remember this one. Should be a fun little diversion to show! My recommendation is to remove the top half of the windshield. Hotrodders would've done that back in the day. Overall this kit has a lot of potential. But it would mean binning everything but the frame & body looks like!
The building is probably the best one I've been to for these things. Carpeted floors and yes the vendors area is pretty big. Show side is huge
I had one of this kit back in 1975
These look like the cars they drag race on the beach. TROG "The Race of Gentlemen". They race on the Jersey beach, I think in Wildwood. You may need to make a separate floor. Use the box cardboard if it's to be "box" stock 😅
Lol!!

Pretty cool kit. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it Matthew👍
I have this model, a simple kit that isn't so simple. You're quite right on that. I miss placed the Dodge Red Ram engine, that's what's holding up this project.
Really nest kit. I don't remember seeing before either. But would be all about building it.🙂
The early drag cars often had numbers usually painted on with either white, or black shoe polish. These numbers were assigned at race day if you didn't have permanent identification on the car. The Famous 554 coupe is a prime example.
👍🏻👍🏻
👍Looks like it’s running at a beach in Daytona or So. Cal. I got my first Lindberg kit off eBay last week. 65 Chevelle. I ordered one of your fancy 3D engines for it. It’s a nice kit. Have fun putting yours together.👏👏🥳
Thanks Edwin!
Looking forward to seeing how it turns out! Cool old kit Matt!
Nice
Great video 👍🏿
Very cool kit.
This kit is a bit mysteriuos to me. I do have the very same issue that you have there Matt. 1st mystery: 1927 was the final prodution year of the Ford model T. This kit is labeled as a 29 T ? 2nd mystery: Parts that are rather similar to some AMT kits. If you have an AMT ala cart in your stash , look at the Dodge Red Ram engine & the dash board. This kit has look a like parts in it. 3rd mystery: The headers look very similar to the headers from the AMT 25 T bucket . 4th mystery: could it be that a former design engineer from AMT moved to Lindberg in the mid 60's & borrowed some design ideas??? We might never know, but it is rather interesting. Have a great week.
Came out in 1965 as a motorized kit, that version was issued in 2009. Box stock or not I would have shit canned those tires for better ones (maybe even pad printed). Wire the engine and mock up a driveshaft.
In the early days of drag racing many cars sported numbers on their sides. Today drag cars still wear much smaller divisional numbers or their finishing number from the previous year.. I'd cut the upper part of that windshield off. Looks a bit silly that high. Especially for a drag car. Have fun!
👍🏻👍🏻
I remember this kit Matt. It came out years ago as a motorized version. Never had this one.
Neat little kit to build nice slump buster, well maybe. Thanks for sharing.
😄
I know a guy that prints awesome 3d stuff that would make a killer hot rod!!!!!
have fun with this build.. thx 4 sharing.. vinny
Lindberg kits can be weird, to say the least. The thing I always found funny about this one, is that Ford stopped manufacturing the Model T in 1927. Note that they claim this a "29 "T".
I didn't even think about that!
Red Ram Dodge was a Hemi.
And if I remember correctly a Desoto was a Fire Dome Hemi.
Have a great build.
I've never seen this kit, or if I have, I didn't pay it any attention! lol Looks like a neat kit, albeit lacking in certain details....but that can be remedied. However, if you're entering it in 'box stock' I suppose you can't fix its shortcomings.
Nice 🤠
I think these cars race on beaches or the Salt Flats, hence the numer is needed.
👍🏻👍🏻
Yep. Its a 29 T. Just like the Ala Kart. 29 cowl. Model T cab back.
Just like Ala Kart. Those sharp lines at the sides of the cowl are SUPPOSED to be sharp. Look at Ruthie's Model A pickup. Should be just like that. Not rounded off. The 28-29 Model A roadster pickup has a flat top rear edge and square rear corners. Not round corners and raised rear panel top.
The door lines on Model T are positive outline of door. Through 25 the right door opens. The left is not a door. Both "doors" have a raised outline so they look the same. The 26/27 cab has a raised squared off place on the back of the cab for the turtle deck or rear touring seat or pickup bed to attach. So this roundback to the cab that is smooth at the rear corners would be a 23-25 piece. Like Ala Kart.
Matthew, If anyone can polish a Turd like this kit, it would be you! I would lose the upper windshield and put a floor of some kind in it, Best of luck my friend?
If I ain't mistaken .it's a 2 in 1 kit now 29 t
Surprised at it has decent details
Pretty sure this is a scaled down from either 1/16 or even 1/8th scale 60s vintage Monogram
Cut the windshild in half. That would still qualify for Box Stock, wouldn’t it?
is there a place where you can see a list shows out there
I was building one a while ago-it's doesn't sit correct -the body on the frame-I painted it Magenta flake and gold wheels and tires--I just put it in a box and said ""Later--I think the kit is JUNK-the body is not a T or an A what it is I don't know--old Lindberg junk from early 60's-for a simple kit -you spend a lot of time fixing stuff
