Lobo2me Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 What would a highly customized 1938 Custom Ford Delivery Funny Car look like? This project was one of those what-ifs that turned into a reasonably complicated, challenging build, hence the name. I try to include just enough realism to be plausible. In the end, I am happy with the results, which is the point of all this craziness. Enjoy, and thanks for looking.
