[johnz]

This is something I wanted to do since I first saw Ray Fahner's wake wagon,1970?so it's a tribute I guess.started with amt raiders coach,narrowed,shortened,built doors,filled windows,made new windows,set on a revell t frame that was extended front and rear.Everything else is pretty much scratch built,engine is small block ford from revell(detailed)trans is aod also from revell,nine inch ford from amt nascar(modified),this is all plastic with the exception of the grill.questions and comments welcome thanks for looking johnz

Very nice and clean build-wow !!!

[Jantrix]

John, this is really some terrific work. On top of being well done, it's obvious that there was a great deal of planning and forethought involved. For instance, the cross-member under the tranny was built and detailed to look removable. Obviously, in case someday, they have to drop the pan. Most builders wouldn't have bothered with that, even if they'd thought of it. After all it's just a model.  Outstanding.

This is a killer kool build! Great details

[Lunajammer]

Fantastic! Are you kidding me?

[vintagercr]

This is a killer kool build! Great details 

I have to agree  

[crazyjim]

That's 1/25 scale?  Unreal details.  Beautiful.  Can I ask the source of the rear tires?

[Maindrian Pace]

Wow. Totally geeking out on all the details on this, I'll come back later and will certainly notice a whole other model's worth.

[johnz]

jim the rear tires are revell pro street

[Snake45]

Very imaginative, and different, and therefore interesting!

[gtx6970]

Absolutely love it

[Jon Cole]

That is just so kewl! Not enough superlatives to describe it!

[Modelbuilder Mark]

Great looking model,  excellent details. 

[FredRPG]

Wow, great detailing and clean design.  Reminds me of all the outlandish show cars back in the 70's.

Something about the appearance of the body really draws you in. Then looking at the engineering of the chassis and the attention to detail really makes this build outstanding.  Except for the driver's position, and that is somewhat part of the theme, it looks like something you would want to drive.

[geemoney]

hmmm

I either want to go home and get to building something.....

or jus throw my 600+ builds away!

this is soooooo neat to me.

[Howard Cohen]

Very well done! I am sure Ray would like it  

[Earl Marischal]

What a great build!!! I love coach and/or horse drawn buggys into hot rods. Nice clean work!!!

[misterNNL]

Finally,someone has built something really cool from an (IMHO) otherwise useless kit.Very nicely done with a great stance,beautiful details and very well photographed.Thanks for sharing.
