A pair of Odd Builds

[41chevy]

I was in a contest last year called the Name Game. we we given two names and had to build along the theme of the name. First name I drew was T-4-2, the second was Space Street Rod.
T-4-2 started as Tweedy Pie. I made a tube chassis added Corvette drive by wire steering, channeled the body and cut up a Revell parts pack 283 to make a 90 cubic in V4 = T-4-2 T body,4cylinder, 2 seater.
Space Street Rod started as a blister pack for a Logitech Mouse. Built a chassis pan. Added two blown Olds engines, a 4x4 transfer case and chain drirve to a L70 Indy Tire. Interior is done in Gold Flake Nail Polish, exterior is 5 different colors of Chameleon Color Changing Paint, Gold tint is Tamiya Clear Yellow. Selected as 3rd place by Daryl Starbird. Paul

Hah! Those are pretty neat. I especially like the T-4-2 build.

I love the T-4-2. The other one shows me how weird your mind is!! just kiddin it's perfect for the subject. I'm not sure I could have looked at a blister pack and seen that, but then again I'm not sure I could have looked at a WWII drop tank and seen a Bonneville car either.

I o.d'ed on Big Daddy Roth as a young man, even my 113 in Vietnam had Rat Fink on it.
The T-4-2 would be a blast. Figure weight around 1200 pounds and the V4 was a popular midget engine. 90 cubic inches 10,000 rpm red line and a bit over 160 h.p.
These are actually rather tame for me. Paul

Big Daddy influenced a lot of young-ins back in the day.

I built a 25 T and what looks like a stretched chassis on it and installed a slant 6 in it. Different just like your V-4 in a way. I just moved the body back on the chassis which made it look like it was stretched.
