1/16 Lindberg Bull Horn Model T Hot Rod

[Casey]

Here are the contents of the 1/16 scale Lindberg Bull Horn Model T Hot Rod, kit number 72320, released by J. Lloyd Int'l in 2012. Though there is only one build option, this kit is chock full of '60s era hot rod and custom parts, which makes it a parts source for other 1/16 scale projects. Originally designed and released by Pyro as part of a multi-kit series based upon the same frame, engine and suspension, the Bull Horn version is by far the most traditional (and conservative), and has been reissued a few times since the original 1965 Pyro release. All issues of the Bull Horn are the same, save for the molded plastic color and the material and method in which the tires are molded.
