So I had to look at the page in the Show Room for this one. I forgot it was 1972. How did those 51-year-old decals go on for you? Love those big meats on the end. Very nice build and gets my Sunday off to a good start. Here is the goofy description from the box:
------------------------------------
Born: 1923. The Mob was proud. Henry Ford's Model "T" was a good dependable car. Legit. Graduated: 1939. The "Kid" rescued it from the Wrecking Yard and "Souped it Up". He added a 1932 Ford modified frame. Still running the "iron hearse" Ford Flathead. Married: 1955. World's first Hot Rodder wedded the T-Bucket to a stormin' Chevy v-8 mill, with an "Isky" cam. Started movin' in on sweepstakes trophies at car shows. The RODFATHER: 1973. The Father Of All Roadsters is takin' you for a ride on Goodyear "Steamroller" slicks. Join the Rodfather's Family. It's an offer you can't refuse.

Thanks guys! Hi Dave, the decals were good. I clear coated the body and the decals wrinkled a bit. I was able to fix that. One of the tiny door hinges broke off when I tried to remove the door., but fortunately I was able to super glue that tiny piece back on . I have to be careful when opening the door now...ugh. Very delicate model.

Very nice work Daniel, looks like new. I restored one I had with parts from 3 different junkers. I'll have to post some pics of it.
