1927 Model T Pickup

Hey guys, this a project i finished up a little while ago.  I started with amt's '27 police car.  The kit is a pheaton but I shortened up the body into a pickup.  The mods I made are the body, a master cylinder with lines, scratch built exhaust, updated steering with a '68 Dart steering box. i moved the arms to the frame, this was a common improvment.  I used the kits duel over head cam set up for more horsepower but wanted the stock style exhaust without the down-draft carb.  I also added a piano hinge to the hood so it could fold up.  The hinge came from a 1/32 diecast '31 chevy.

Thanks for looking I hope you guys like it.  All comments and questions are welcome.

WANTED: A set of Pontiac Rally II wheels

I'm building a replica of a '77 Firebird Esprit out of a Revell '78 Trans Am kit for a friend, and I need a set of Rally II rims from either the Revell 1970 1/2 Trans Am or their 1969 GTO kit to do it right. Does anyone out there have a set they aren't using?
