Some
time ago I noticed the Revell 1929 Ford Model A Rat Rod issue. I
liked the car because I didn’t had a closed cab A in my collection.
I decided to build it stock with the stock wheels from an AMT ’29
Roadster. I was still busy building the stock version when I had a
nice idea for a special conversion. So I got myself another Rat Rod
kit, another ’29 Roadster for the stock wheels and started building.
And here is the result, Ken’s Garden Supplies Ford Truck. The rear
section is a superstructure made from 1mm plastic which was
completely covered, inside and outside, with 0.5mm x 3mm wood. I
used a grand total of 267 pieces of wood. I had some trouble to get
the hinges of the rear doors right, but thanks to Art Anderson from
Spotlight Hobbies Message Board I got some very small hinges which
were perfect. Many thanks again, Art!
