  1. I don't think it looks too bad myself. The Ranchero had a pretty long overhang.
  2. Great job, I love the weathering. I'm a sucker for the Model T and yours tells a little story with the weathered look & old pot belly stove.
  3. Great job, your weathering is nice. I blew a few up myself as a kid but never saved one to rebuild. Great idea with a great memory from your childhood.
  4. WOW! That looks amazing, great job.
  5. This is really cool! For some reason it reminds me of a custom Mercedes Gullwing. I can't wait to see the end result.
  6. Nice street rod, I watched it come together & you banged it out quick.
  7. Thanks everyone, I'm sure you guys are getting tired of my weathering but I can't help myself.
  8. I've built a bunch over the years but these are the only ones I have pictures of.
  9. I think they're from a Revell 41 Chevy pickup kit. Thanks to everyone for all the great comments.
  10. I'm thinking about joining in & maybe trying to built something like this. It was running around here back in the 80s and I loved it. I might use a 34 Ford truck kit instead of a Model A.
  11. That's really cool! I'd love to see it run.
  12. I love it, great job.
  13. This is one that I got from a friend last year who needed his dryer fixed. It's an original amt kit that wasn't bad but not good. I did my usual worn out look. First 2 pics are before...
  14. Ya, I hate spending money on something I can make, especially when you have to spend 2x as much. The saw is scratch built & 1/24 scale.
  15. Hi Paul, I love your diorama and the saw mill is a great addition. It reminds me of the one we had when I was a kid, it ran on an old flathead Chrysler 6 cylinder engine. Nice work on your scratch building for the thresher. I was on ebay and found this auction that might work for you for your wheels. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-3D-printed-wheels-for-1-64-antique-Tractors-Wide-Rim/202998234740?hash=item2f43a33e74:g:Sg0AAOSwLY1exzB0 Here's some pics of my Model A Buzz Saw, you need one of these for your farm too.
  16. As for the chains, I'm with you, if you can't hold it in your hand it's hard to tell if it looks right. The chains hook to the bottom of the tow bar. There is a hook welded on each side of the bar for the chain link to sit into. The hooks on the top bar of the tow sling is for the slack of the chain so they don't drag the ground. Picture 2 of yours shows Luke taking the chains out of a storage hole in the back of the body. If I'm not explaining this right check out this pic. The tow bar is folded up but you can see what I mean. Here is a couple of mine too but I let the chains drag on mine. I hope this helps. Mark
  17. Found this old video of the car running. IMG_0212.MOV
  18. Your painting it? Man, I figured some weathering on it and you would have a nice looking work truck. Nice work so far, keep it going.
  19. That's a sharp looking little truck. Nice job.
  20. Here's 2 1934 yard trucks from years ago & I'm not sure if it counts. A 32 on the bottom & 28 on top shop truck.
  21. I've been helping my friends mom move again all week & this was what was in the attic.
  22. Great job, I love seeing a stock T.
  23. With my parents, get ready, it's a biggie, Boxcar Willie? and with my friends Motley crue in the 80s.
