T'rrific Street Rod I've always liked the look of a short-framed, Model 'T' based street rod. This model is based on an old Monogram 'Dragon Wagon', designed by Tom Daniels, that I picked up, already built, at a swap meet sometime in the 1980's. I built it once and then took it apart, repainted and rebuilt it. You can find more about the original kit from 1970 at Tom Daniel's website The model is also featured at Dave's Show Rod Gallery, listed under T'rrific (kitbash) Base Kit(s): Monogram 1/24 scale Dragon Wagon Monogram 1/24 scale Little 'T' Finished: February 2004 Modifications: Frame shortened to remove rear cage Little 'T' suspension used in both front and rear Front suspension modified to allow poseable wheels Little 'T' engine (I think) with various pieces from my spare parts collection Wheels and tires came from an unknown kit Scratchbuilt U-joints, exhaust pipe and muffler and rear shocks Brake, fuel and electrical wiring Testors yellow spray paint, shot through my air brush Added 'TRRIFIC' Ontario license plate Click on Thumbnail to see detailed image.
