Fun project: tiny stock 54 Ford F100 Panel

[traditional]

This was just an enjoyable little project from some time ago.  I'd picked up a couple of Mattel 1/43 HotWheels custom '55 Ford panels and thought it'd be fun to make one of them into a stock '54 ......wheels and basic chassis from an old toy 1/43 Road Champs Ford pickup, handmade '54 grille,  scratchbuilt Y-block V8 (wired and plumbed),  modified the hard cornered custom rear fenders to look stock,  formed a wire exhaust pipe,  fabricated a brass stock outside rear-view mirror, and applied basecoat/clearcoat red paint. The model only took a few days and I'm really pleased with the finished product.  I modified the Mattel HW box to look look like it was an original model (personalized)
