deucedoc Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Somethis I se a real car that just begs to be copied in scale. That was the case when I read an article i Street Rodder Mag. a few years back about a -29 Modified ,owned and built by Dave Lukkari.Both the car and the owner where nicely portraited.The photos where not good enough to serve as a plan for copying in scale. A few years later ,another article in a Swedish magazine ,Wheels.Perfect photos! Now it had to be done! Starting with body and frame from AMT -29 Ford,Ardun engine from -50 Ford pick-up ,a lot from the parts-box and with some scratch-building on top ;voila! A decent copy of a great car1To bad I never had the chance to hear what Dave Lukkari himself would have thought of the model;I was sad to learn he passed away in dec 2010. But here it is ;a tribute to a real hot rod and a real hot rodder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janne Herajärvi Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 To Janne;I think Dave Lukkari had ancestors/relations to Finland.Anyway greetings from Sweden! Perhaps, Lukkari sounds like Finnish name or word what means "timetable" in english. Nice, hope you show us more of your work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Kron Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Lukkari is a legend not sure how you could be into hot rods and NOT know who he was or about him. probably the only person to have driven an ARDUN flathead as many miles as he has, it's gotta be a world record. ... Oh well, a gap in my rod knowledge. But your comment got me off my rear end to find out more about the original. Now I'm all the more impressed by this very fine model!
