The Model T was designed by Childe Harold Wills, and Hungarian immigrants Joseph A. Galamb[21] and Eugene Farkas.[22] Henry Love, C. J. Smith, Gus Degner and Peter E. Martin were also part of the team.[23] Production of the Model T began in the third quarter of 1908.[24]Collectors today sometimes classify Model Ts by build years and refer to these as "model years", thus labeling the first Model Ts as 1909 models. This is a retroactive classification scheme; the concept of model years as understood today did not exist at the time. The nominal model designation was "Model T", although design revisions did occur during the car's two decades of production.
The Model T had a front-mounted 177-cubic-inch (2.9 L) inline four-cylinder engine, producing 20 hp (15 kW), for a top speed of 40-45 mph (64-72 km/h).[25] According to Ford Motor Company, the Model T had fuel economy on the order of 13-21 mpg‑US (16-25 mpg‑imp; 18-11 L/100 km).[26] The engine was capable of running on gasoline, kerosene, or ethanol,[27][28] although the decreasing cost of gasoline and the later introduction of Prohibition made ethanol an impractical fuel for most users. The engines of the first 2,447 units were cooled with water pumps; the engines of unit 2,448 and onward, with a few exceptions prior to around unit 2,500, were cooled by thermosiphon action.[29]
The ignition system used in the Model T was an unusual one, with a low-voltage magneto incorporated in the flywheel, supplying alternating current to trembler coils to drive the spark plugs. This was closer to that used for stationary gas engines than the expensive high-voltage ignition magnetos that were used on some other cars. This ignition also made the Model T more flexible as to the quality or type of fuel it used. The system did not need a starting battery, since proper hand-cranking would generate enough current for starting. Electric lighting powered by the magneto was adopted in 1915, replacing acetylene and oil lamps, but electric starting was not offered until 1919.[30]
The Model T engine was produced for replacement needs, as well as stationary and marine applications until 1941, well after production of the Model T had ended.
Hot rods are typically old, classic or modern American cars with large engines modified for faster speed. The origin of the term "hot rod" is unclear. For example, some claim that the term "hot" refers to the vehicle being stolen. Other origin stories include replacing the engine's camshaft or "rod" with a higher performance version. Hot rods were favorites for greasers.
Hot rods first appeared in the late 1930s in southern California, where people raced modified cars on dry lake beds northeast of Los Angeles, under the rules of the Southern California Timing Association (SCTA), among other groups. This gained popularity after World War II, particularly in California, because many returning soldiers had received technical training.[3][2] The first hot rods were old cars (most often Fords, typically Model Ts, 1928-31 Model As, or 1932-34 Model Bs), modified to reduce weight. Engine swaps often involved fitting the Ford flathead V8 engine (known as the "flatty") into a different car, for example the common practice[citation needed] in the 1940s of installing the "60 horse" version into a Jeep chassis.
Typical modifications were removal of convertible tops, hoods, bumpers, windshields, and/or fenders; channeling the body; and modifying the engine by tuning and/or replacing with a more powerful type. Wheels and tires were changed for improved traction and handling. Hot rods built before 1945 commonly used '35 Ford wire-spoke wheels

The color is beautiful. For some reason, I see yellow with flames and the name Potzie comes to mind!
Thanks Stu, yeah that would be a fun one too!
Man I'm seeing a flathead V8 and no fenders, great build love the colors you pick for it👍👍😀
Thanks, enjoy your custom!
Thank you for another great build , please keep them coming... love the green paint
Thanks Jeff!
These kinds of kits are fun because you can do a lot of extra-mizing to them and have a lot of fun. The body color reminds me of the old Matchbox cars.
Really like the build, Chris. Looking good man.👍
Looks like a 70s era Hot Wheels car in that colour, nice job as always mate
Thanks Gary!
Awesome, a hot rod! It reminds me of the cars you would see in 1970's and early eighties hot rod magazines. Great work Chris and that kit builds up nicely!
Thank you!
I built this Exact original box art
23 -Modrl T kit circa 75 or 76

Great looking build once again. I agree the windshield looks good chopped. Keep up the great work and Rust In Peace.
Thank you Chopper!
Nice kit! Lends itself to a lot of engine detailing and stuff. Turned out great.
Thanks as always Hisham!
Dude that looks amazing! I love a old roadster street rod! Great job friend
Thanks a lot Tim!
Wish I had watched your video before I started mine. I hope I can turn mine around and get it to look as good as yours.
Awesome color love it. Great work Chris. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Charlie!
Beautiful work ! Love the colour.
Thanks Kris!
You can tell you love this hobby, you can always hear your enthusiasm in your voice.This is a great little kit. I used to have one very similar to this along time ago. Sadly has long since been destroyed so I may have to pick this one up!
I sure do, all kinds of fun and a break from the real world! Grab a copy and have fun!
Great looking Roadster Chris, thanks for the review and build, well done!....Bill

Great review and great build, thing looks awesome! Good tip on drilling out those exhaust parts, Especially on bigger truck kits that will be useful.
Thanks for watching Tim!
Great video ! Good job ! Thanks
Thank you!
A nother great build.
I like your commentary
Thank you Roger!
Another fantastic build and review Chris!! I just built my original that I had in my stash since 1974 your tips in regards to the chassis and fenders are spot on!! I will be getting upcoming release to build as an old school 4 cylinder jalopy.
Thanks Ron!
Great build 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Skip!
Looks Awesome ! love that rake on it
Thanks man!
My cousin was doing some carpentry work for this elderly woman and she had a garage full of old model's from the 60s and a bunch of other stuff he gave me a few model's I hate to even build them because I like the way the box's look the way they are displayed in my case or put them together and display the box. I have found a few empty cardboard boxes I kept just because of the picture's on them without the product in the box.
another very nice build
Thanks Wade!
When you were painting that cranberry it looked super bright,but when it was under the more realistic lighting on your bench it looked real deep and mellow! Looks great
I've done that drill and pin on a lot of things,I usually use wood pins,cuz I always have little slivers of wood laying around. I'm gonna try the wire,lot more flex. Great tip thanks
Thank Tom, yeah it looks off when taken fresh from the booth. Thanks!
nice rod kit another fantastic build!
Thanks Mouse!
Hey that's a nice NEW filter in that paintbooth. Great job with this model, as always dude.
Thank you Jeff!
Another great build Chris.
Thank you Bob!
Is that what we're calling it today......😁 " on edge " your right it's a nice weekend or rainy day build. Keep on building my friend!
Thank you Jon!
BEAUTIFUL. Also like the 34s 3&5 window coupes.
Thanks Will!
Thank you for the tutorial and the tip for using super glue for a fast contact.
Thanks for watching!
Love it reminds of the old hot wheels Hot Heap specially the paint job amazing!
Thanks!
Nice job dude!
Thanks!
Great build, I went to a Maryland Automotive Modelers Association meeting yesterday. My bother and a long time friend of mine been members for years. I have been to a few meetings. I think I’m almost ready to build a pickup and add auto modeling to my hobby’s. Your channel has helped move that along
Thanks for sharing your build techniques 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Grab some kits and get to work, you'll have a nice time.
great job on the rod Chris .
Thanks!
On the small drill bit note, I found an 8 set of dremel tool bits going down to 1/2 the straight pin thickness . I use them alot
nice looking kit👍
Thank you!
Nice build.
Thanks!
When I first saw the picture in my feed I thought it was a picture of a Matchbox or Hot Wheels car. Very well done my friend
Thanks Derek!
I like that they have the parts for the original stock version.
Yup, 2n1s are great!
kool , thanx.....luv AMT
Robert
Thanks!
Like the color you chose for this, wouldn't mind driving it down the road.
Thank you!
That was my my idea for the widow bracing!
Chris that looks out of sight!! I plan getting this one and a delivery van to make wicked looking delivery van
Thanks Robert!
Another fine weekend sipping coffee and watching Chris build models. Thanks.
I too was enjoying a cup of coffee while watching!
Thanks guys!
Nice nice nice!!!
Thanks Bryan!
I like these hotrod
Me too!
That's the old Togganoties t it was a show car in the 60s it was called king T.later hotwheels made it into the Hot Heap.
@@daviddarby6986 wrong k-t was an amt kit 1923 T.kit #2164.
Chris, great build as always. i love seeing your paint jobs without an airbrush using rustolium. My only nit is about the kit itself. It sits kind of high for my tastes, I've built this kit a few times over the years and they've all set high. Keep up the great work my friend.
Channel it woohoo
Thanks Dave!
Easy enough to shave those mounts if you want it dropped lower. Enjoy!
Damn 1 hour ago this was put out hot off the press this ought to be good.
nice ride
oh more thing badass rod man
Thanks Peter!
@@hpiguy sure guy
That’s one thing I like about new kits they have white lettered tires
Yup!
I have my old Hot Wheels red line that is called "Hot Heap." It matches up to this kit very well. I would like to get this kit and make it look just like my old Hot Wheels car. I will have to look around for some rim's and tires that match.
Sweet!
With it being a Ford street rod I would try to scrounge up an old 272 (or 292) Y block to put in there. Ford street rod with small block Chevy's are too run of the mill in my opinion
@Chase Tyson what does that have to do with model building????
I didn't know that kit existed, now I want one. It reminds me of the Hot wheels "Hot Heap"
Snatch it up!
it looks like the 1968-70 Hot Wheels Hot Heap (a casting inspired by the real Tognotti's King T Showcar that was turned into a model kit by MPC)
Cool!
Great job as always Chris, I just finished doing one, it is one of the best worse, or worse best kits I've ever done. Thanks to your vidios I might not have gotten thru it. Great subject, awesome parts, vegue instructions.
Awesome, thank you!
I love it dude, but I’m a low car junky,
And those springs gotta get CHOPPED my man.
Thanks!
Easy enough to drop it in the weeds if that's your style. Rock on!
Which way to build? No need to get "T'ed Off" - buy TWO and make one of each. That's my plan. AND - I'll have a Stock 4 plus a V8 to put on engine stands made from glued sprue. Nice choices.
Thanks for sharing...
Thanks RA!
Have you ever used the extra parts and built a complete model cuz a lot of times these kids have extra parts I'd like to see that.I had a 3 car kit that had 28 29 and 32 Fords in it and somehow the body on one of them was a two-door sedan got lost so I used wooden matchsticks a piece of cardboard and built the body out of that amount of the rear swing door and polyurethane it but that was a long time ago don't know if I still have that model Maybe.
Not yet, but glad you have fun doing it!
What type of glue may you use/recommend for rims/backplates to the tires?
Super glue, any brand.
@@hpiguy Thank you kindly; Should this be the one that dries clear?
Hipiguy - Do you have all your model builds on display in your home? It's fun watching you build. Thanks
Most are stored or given away, thanks!
Kit manufacturers are including decals for the interior;for the guages,radio,air vents,vinyl wood tone,carbon fiber,door panels,seat fabric,seat belts,ect.Round 2 needs to play "catch up;" as they have fallen behind over the last 5-10 years.
Where can I get my hands on that? I need a green 23 Coupe to match my green 23 Coca-Cola delivery van by AMT. I know I'm probably a long time late past its released time. But I need a stock t to match my delivery van
Link in description as stated and shown in the video numerous times. Thanks!
👍😁
Thanks!
How about stretch the body. Get rid of the boutonniere. Get a seat from a truck kit like a 40 ford and put as a front seat. then you have a sedan. Could be my next build.
Sounds like a good time! Enjoy your kit!
Nice build. It's a shame about the height of the body onto the chassis. Hot rods since day 2 have been low on the chassis with little or no daylight between the tires and the fenders.
Thanks for watching!
Show,,
I knew
Nice build. The 23 is not my cup of t lol
Thanks Bob, everyone has their tastes. :)
Why do you wash the parts to the car??
Like I said, to remove any mold release oils if present so the paint doesn't fisheye.
Y
As Bob Ross would say it's a happy accident
