My father-in-law is irked that I did and that's after 48 years come July 30th! I'm starting to get the feeling that he may never get to like me!

I lost a great uncle at Omaha Beach. First wave in. Had several other family members that survived D Day but not without some degree of sacrifice. My Great Grandma's second husband was wheel chair bound as a result of machine gun fire. He passed when I was 5 or 6 a result of war wounds. I was a visitor at the local Veteran's Home for about 15 years and had made many friends there mostly WWII and Korean War Vets. The ones I visited the most and had a close friendship to have all went on to join their Brothers-In_arms now and it finally wore on me so much that I had to stop going.

Built this out of the parts box some time ago. Had a broken Lindberg 34 body and bed and a Revell 29 chassis and the flathead out of the AMT 53 F100 kit. Seat was from a 53 Studebaker! Gas tank was a tool box. I just like doing these builds. Seem to get more satisfaction than an out of box build when done!

Just don't set something hot on it . My wife set a bowl of chili on the edge of mine and it left a hump in it!

Krylon Peekaboo Blue Used the same color on the Malco 33 Willys.

I woke up still alive!

Sweet build and thank you for using a Ford in a Ford!

An ill working pancreas!

My son and daughter-in-law and granddaughter are big star wars fans. Their little one fell asleep about 20 minutes into it and they left about half way through. Said they are done with it if this is an example of what's to come now!

Pair of 1925 Model T cars One stock. That was a honey do for the wife and the other speaks for itself!

This is a must get for me! Had the original release only to have my wife's little brothers find it stored in their garage and play with it! Mine will have to look like it just came out of the rebuild shop. No way I can do that kind of weathering!

I don't know but there appears to be window track felt coming loose along the drivers side of the back glass. So maybe it does roll down!

Thanks guys! As a kid I was fascinated by these huge expensive looking (to me) cars! Compared to our old 52 Chevy these were things of beauty!

Started life as the street version kit.

Built a year or so ago. Nice kit to build!

Just when you think there is nothing more, Chuck pulls off another Hudson build!

Perfect 10 on the Wow scale!

Nice clean build of a difficult kit!

Sweet looking old Chrysler!

Same here but my wife pointed out that all the times were like 7+ hours old.

That is true but I take these kits for what they were and are and build them the best I can as is. I look at it as a trip back in time when things were slower and we wern't as detail obsessed as we are now with the kits! We were just happy to have the kits of cool cars to build! Some times now I will try and improve by kit bashing on some but it seems to take the fun out of building at times! Becomes more like.....dare I say it??? WORK!

On the bench right now is a 30 Model A Woodie! Still haven't decided what will be next! This kit has really slowed me down!

I tried this years ago and found that in most cases you end up with what appears to be a sedan with a slight roof chop when you are done as the greenhouse of the hard top is lower than the sedans.

Great looking fantasy build! Bet Smokey would have approved!
