I built this MOC this past summer, but never got around to posting it on Lugnet.

The MOC started life as a classic Golden T-Rod loosely based around a late 20s or early 30s Ford. While looking at various reference photos I also started looking at vintage Indy racers. I decided to keep the idea of the hot rod, but applied a single passenger Indy-style bucket instead of a full bucket with bench seat. The model features a stretched front clip with an exposed suspension straddling the radiator, a removable engine cowl, fully detailed engine, steering column with shifter on the tree, gas pedal, sliding/reclining bucket seat, suicide door and chrome headlamps, grill and bumpers. A spare tire mount also opens to expose a storage area for a matching tool box and I added a work ramp and extra spare on the side to complete a garage setting. This is one of the most detailed MOCs I have created in several years. I’t uses a little bit of Technic, Bionicle, SNOT and standard LEGO contruction.

Let me know what you think...

(...) Brian, I like this, nice detail work on the engine, cool suicide doors, and nice use of the ramp and tools. Thanks, George (21 years ago, 5-Nov-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.town, FTX)
