There's some ideas that are so cool it's a wonder that they haven't been done before. The REALLY good ones are the ones that are simple, obvious but fresh and exciting all at the same time. The kind of builds that make you feel stupid for not coming up with the idea first, impressed by whoever beat you to it, and jealous that the project isn't yours. This is just such a project.
Now, it'll come as little surprise to anyone who reads this blog regularly that I'd call myself a showrod fan. We've featured a more than fair share of Uncertain Ts here (though they still have a way to go to catch all the Deuces I keep banging on about), it being my favourite of them all, but they've all been tributes to, rather than developments of, Steve Scott's original 60s vision when he created the 1:1 car. Until now, that is.
Coffin Corner member A.J. is taking brave steps to amazing places others seem reluctant to go - though who can blame them when the UT kits are running $400 a pop? He got one of the most beaten-up glue bomb Ts that I've seen, threw down the sketch you see above to test his theory that a Doctor's Coupe Uncertain T would be a damn fine idea, and set to work.
If you only see one phantom this year, make this the one.
