Hitman · #1 12-16-2010, 02:46 PM

We have been working on this project and our goal is to have it completed for the Detroit Autorama Show, Feb. 25-27th, 2011 and for Performance World, March 11-13, 2011 in Toronto.

Our next step is to prepare this car for paint at Xtreme Customs.

This thread will be a continuous update of the Model T.

Check out more from our website at www.hitmanhotrods.com . You will not only see past and current projects, but can also purchase parts, clothing and read articles!

Well, the Model T is now out at Xtreme Customs for paint.
This vehicle will have many modern spins to it, the wheels are just one of many! Click this link will show you what it looked like when we got it in for the first time: http://www.hitmanhotrods.com/en/Hitm...s1927Ford.html

That's quite the little roller skate.

I hope the owner / driver is 4'2

I am diggin the slung low look.
What are the plans for the hood area since the valve covers are as high as the cowl ?

Normally i would say those wheels are too big, but for some reason they look awesome. Great build

Nice build. Looks really good.

I love the car and LOVE the way it sits! Great job.

Just not feeling the wheels. They are too modern looking. Size is ok but need a more retro, vintage feel. Maybe paint the spokes to look like wood. lol just kidding
