I nomrally like Rods but that doesnt nothing for me, its got modern wheels on that look wrong, the v6 doesnt help.

I cant imagine how a totally upright windscreen works, would be concerned about going over about 40 mph, Robs can be so good but thats just wrong.

Model T Hotrods are all about the proportions. They need to look like a cartoon. Here are two classic examples of how they shoud look:

The "Moonlist" T set the standard for how a Fad T (As that is how they are refered to in the hotrod world) should look



And Gary Belchers old V12 powered T from years back, again a classic example of a well proportioned T



The example in the advert I'm afraid would get laughed of most modern show fields today

Yes, bang on, the one in the ad is just the opposite, I love the Munster Koach as T based Rod as well, they can be so cool but that just misses all the cues that make them so.

I like the idea you're getting at, but those two both look a bit stupid to me frown

I'd happily take either of these two though, for example:

Fad T's are an acquired taste but they have been a staple part of the hotrod world dating back to the early sixties. Your turtle decked examples are very nice but a very different look to the Fad T type styling
