1937 Ford tow truck

[Paul Payne]

Finally finished! The load is a big airplane engine on its way to be rebuilt. This was great fun to build- used both scratch built items as well as bits and pieces repurposed to create something new.

Paul, looks real, well done...

Nicely done. The wrinkled front fender is a nice touch.

Great watching all the fabrication on the bed and the rest of the cab & chassis.

Thank you all for your interest and positive comments on this build! Definitely a change from trying to lay a shiny paint job! Betsy gave me an old set of pastel chalks years ago and they are perfect for weathering!

Great looking model! I like that engine too.

Looks great!

The amount of detail you crammed into this is really amazing!

[NOBLNG]

Awesome looking rig! I love it!?

[happy grumpy]

Very realistic weathering. I like it. Lots of details to look at.

Very well done!  I'd be nervous about ropes holding that big hunk of cast iron!

[Paul Payne]

Bruce, the ropes are just to hold the boards over the heads. Cables actually hold the ironmongery!

Very realistic looking old war horse. Great job!
