Well, Guys and Girls,
This is not a build of mine.
I bought this from Fred,
of "Freds Model World",
this is how it was listed;
NEW YORK COLLECTION OF AWESOME BUILTS - PART 3
These are some really great builds, many one offs with opening doors, great detail work, nice paint, super stuff.
612 40 Ford pkp built stock $6
I got it with the expressed intention of using it as parts.
I needed the fire wall for another build.
(3rd Annual P.A.A. Build Off, Sorry, Bobby!)
Well,
after taking it from the box and looking at it, well, I just couldn't "DESTROY" this little Gem!! Whoever the Builder was, he put some time and consideration into this beautiful piece of work!! It reminded me of "Old School" building. I really studied this for several days before putting it back together. A lot of small parts needed to be replaced, I got them all but, "two!" A radiator hose, which I replaced with rubber hose, and, what I think is an antenna.
Here are some finished Re-built pictures, and I added the link to see the whole thing from start to finish.
Thank You for looking!
and if You know the "Builder" Let me know!!
This Guy deserves a sincere "Thank You"
and a gracious pat on the back!!
;D
Later
Russ
