Found in a barn south of Chicago.. Worlds first "Donk"

Just a stupid silly build to kill time waiting for parts to arrive for more serious builds. Just a one day project that hopefully will give you a laugh.

That's FUNNY, Ray!!

Hope to see you and a wide assortment of your models at GOODGUYS 16th SOUTHWEST NATIONALS this weekend!

Sadly, that isn't too far from reality. I see so many of these ridiculous looking rims on some really nice looking cars. I call them clown cars. Sorry, not trying to criticize your model. You did a wonderful job and it did put a smile on my face.

RYAN.

I'm not a big fan of "donks" and this one made me laugh out loud. You nailed it!!! The wheels never, ever, ever fit or look right IMHO. Wagon wheels? I do like the Model T. Looks like you had fun and that's what it's all about. A friend of mine did something similar with Amish buggies building them in different styles, always good for a laugh.

Instead of chrome and murals, like on a modern donk, this one would go well with a little polished brass and a mule. (Note, I stole the "mural/mule" thing from an old Red Skelton sketch- seemed appropriate. :D )
