The Autocar Restorod is completed

Nice addition, helps add some realism to a cool build.

Nice progress

This will be last post in WIP for this truck. Next post for the Restorod Autocar will be under glass. Just put the last coat of chrome paint on the bumper and antennas, will attach and post, tomorrow or the next day.

Thanks Steve, a lot of ideas I stole from you😄from your builds

Thanks Jurgen, means a lot coming from a builder with your skills.

I buy from Paul all the time, great guy/business to buy from. Little curious what the tariff impacts will be.

Exciting news, I still have a few of those lots rat holed.

Well done David, looks perfect on the shelf.

Ok, I thought I was having problems on my end, not allowed to load pictures. I lost the paper clip (add picture).

I agree guys, it looks good. We are our own worse critics and we see everything that’s not perfect.

Sweet, I’ll be watching your trailer build.

Wow, that is a sharp truck, well done

Looks great, like the wood deck.

Very cool build.

This build sure tells a great story, well done.

That’s a gorgeous truck

Scott, that is an outstanding build, turned out so well.

Wow Victor, that is one well built truck.

The details just keep coming……you are on another level. If you wire in the Key switch…..I’m throwing the towel in🤣😂

I have had a similar Ford kit (I think it’s a US mail truck) for years but never got motivated to do any thing with it, maybe Jeff will inspire me to build it.

Thanks Jeff, got a few more ideas yet. Thanks Steve, I am hopefull that the fenders and sleeper take a bit of bling away, but it hits the idea of a RestoRod. Thanks Brian, not sure about a ribbon, I can think of several things that could improve on. As we all say “the next one will be better”

Plumbing on the engine completed, exhaust completed. Now I can mount the passenger side battery box, finish headlights, then mount fenders.

Nice progress and I hate waiting on parts. Looking good

Thanks, it’s a little showy but fits the Resto Rod idea.
