Race Card #64-The Return of the Model "T"
Many of the early racers "made their bones" between the frame rails of ol' Heny's wonderful flivver. It seems only fitting that when the time for FoMoCo to bring in their answer to the Dodge Charger 500 the old name surfaced even if it was in a nickname format.
Ford figured that if moving the grill out to the edge of the fender tips helped Dodge so much then then would go them one better and move theirs out several inches PAST the opening and bring the fender tips along for the ride. While that was going on they also decided the rear bumper would also work on the front with just a little bend to match up the ends with the new fenders. Like it or loath it, it got the job done. At least until Chrysler took the gloves off and started building airplanes to "fly" on the ground. Ford must have done their homework pretty well though because the Talladegas and Spoiler II's aquitted themselves very well against Mopar's winged wonders. Here's my take on the T-model that Banjo Matthews built for Bobby Allison's little brother Donnie to "fly" in the air combat that was Nascar Racing in '69 and '70.  |

Re: Race Card #64-The Return of the Model
Thanks but don't want to mislead you. These are pics of my builds and my brother's from the last 20 or so years that I have been using for these cards. The last car I built was this Mercury in 2002 but I did get it built in two days so does that count? LOL

Re: Race Card #64-The Return of the Model "T"
Kinda Prefab on them too this time. These were all done in about a week and then placed in a file to post about 1 a day. I got such good response that I'm now shooting a whole new series and offering them as a signed and numbered limited edition CD. Doing 150 and already got most of them sold. Be around 2000 images on it altogether.
