That I have a major fondness for Deuce kits of every variety is no secret, but one love I don't mention QUITE as often is the Uncertain T showcar.
I was lucky enough to be able to pick up an original issue one last year for a couple of hundred quid, but they're getting rare and I probably wont shell out on a second anytime soon. No chance of a reissue either, rumour has it that the tooling is FUBAR. No wonder then that the real hardcore showrod builders are making their own. And, in many cases, building their own version of it. Which brings us onto this crazy little build by a Coffin Corner regular called Chief. And you thought the original was pretty wild?
Based on a repro UT body, Chief's 'Wild Apple T' is running on a Creepy T chassis with that wild blown engine from the same. Those crazy Richard Carrol rear tyres are also repro, produced by master-caster Joe D, whose dragster we featured yesterday.
Love it or REALLY love it, the in-build pics are well worth checking out. Go!
