This is my only real attempt at building a weathered vehicle. It's a '34 Ford Pickup converted to a flatbed. I had a ball doing this as I didn't have to worry about making it look "pretty"...

I've only done a couple of these, and had a blast with both of them. This first one is an actual 1966 AMT Corvair Corsa annual that I got on eBay as a glue bomb. It looked so rough that it gave me the idea to rebuild it this way as soon as I opened the box:

I call this next one "Junior's High School Hot Rod" Junior was a part-time burger-flipper with NASCAR dreams:

Sorry about the blurry pics of the Ford. I was using an older, 2meg camera without a close-up setting.)
