But Handy won't be able to drive the XR6.
Looking great. I think Handy has enjoyed this build as much as I have.

Nearly there on the Rat Rod Farm Truck .......
Exhaust stacks on,
fuel tanks on,
front bumper bar on,
rear bumper bar on,
taillights on,
rear mudflaps,
headlights on.....
The wheels need to glued in, plus there is a stack of sanding, then I'll be awaiting a fine, warm day to spray the clear gloss lacquer....
Cheers, crowie

I used them on the Ford Monster Truck and with the drilled hole they look pretty good, if I do say so myself....

The cat the swallowed the canary type of smile...
The cat the swallowed the canary type of smile...
I gave Sam his truck today, his face lit up; YES a boy with a new toy......
He said it looked like it should be carrying a load of water melons or many on the hillbilly theme, a truck load of "moon shine"....
Anyways, I had double the joy on this build; first making it and second giving it.....CAN"T BET THAT!!!!!
Cheers, crowie
PS - Apologies for one of the photos slightly out of focus, but you can see the smile and that's all that counts.....
