The ‘other’ mag is stopping publication
mchook replied to cruz's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I got the email too and was surprised. I went to the website & can't sign in. Maybe the site will die with the magazine? - 
	Thanks everyone for all the great comments. That actually sounds like something that we could do. I could send you a rotten body & you send me a clean paint job, build them & post them here.

1929 Model A Ford tow truck
mchook replied to mchook's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Hi Hans, I found the rear wheels in my parts box I think they're from a diecast. The gears for the crane are from an old pull & go toy car that I took apart. The rest is all styrene. I don't have any plans, I'm just winging it from internet photos. Thanks, Mark - 
	It has a scratch built chassis, chopped top & Mopar power. I can't seem to do anything other than rusty & rotten.

What ELSE did you build? Non auto related.

Wow that's nice Tom! I want one but don"t have a brook on my land. - 
	Started this old Model A kit, I scratch built the frame (first for me), chopped the top & found a big mopar for it. I can't decide which wheels & tires to use. Love to hear your choices...

	I entered the Desert Scale Classic virtual show & was shocked to learn I too got something for my old Willys wrecker. This is the first contest I entered in about 30 years, it was fun & easy. Thanks to everyone that had something to do with this great experience.

	Hey Dave, they're about 3" tall without their stand. Yea the one has some badly molded hands. They do have 5 fingers but 2 are together so they look weird.

	I found these at the dollar store & repainted them. The soccer player got a decal on her shirt, sanded off her shin guards & an old wheel replacing her ball. Just a fun, cheap & easy addition to the shop.

Thanks, I found the grinding wheel on a farm. I added it to the wall to take up space and I thought it would look good. I built this for my wife to put her flowers on too. -

	Nice Model A. This was dark blue to begin with, after chopping it I gave it this color. It's a $1.00 spray can from Ollies.

	Thanks, I can't take credit for the grill. It was a rebuild & the person who built it before me used so much glue it warped it. It seemed to work out for me on though.
 - 
	Great choices, I love the 65 Fairlane that was my 1st car when I was 16.
