"Mater's Daddy" is done!

[Mike]

Well, I've got some things to throw in the empty bed yet, but "Mater's Daddy" is getting called done. A fun build and really enjoyable. The AA wheels and tires are from Alan Raab/Ma's Resin. I robbed the flathead out of the Revell 32 Ford kit, spliced the transmission from the Lindberg kit on to it for the running gear. Other than that, it's all the Lindberg 34 Ford kit. Parts box lenses on the spotlights and I used the Acme license plate maker to create the plate. I glued it to a piece of aluminum foil and bent it. Other little "added character" things I did were leave out one headlamp with the wires hanging out and a bullet hole in the window -

Beautiful build .... well not beautiful but you know what I mean. ;D Love the headlight detail.

Agreed, great work. I too have built a rustbucket and in many ways it is much harder to pull off than a clean, shiny vehicle.
