    Default Ford Hot Rod “C” Cab T-Bucket Van

    Ford Hot Rod “C” Cab T-Bucket Van

    After the fun of making a detailed Ford Hot Rod “C” Cab T-Bucket for myself I knew I needed to make a similar version for other children to play with.

    Ford Hot Rod "C" Cab T-Bucket - by crowie @ LumberJocks.com ~ woodworking community

    So I started again with the basic Van T-Bucket body though without the rear opening door and a less complicated drivers cabin, bench seat, button steering wheel and bead gear shifter.

    The engine took me nearly 4 hours on the original toy so this one was simplified, just radiator, blower and zombie pipes with a strip down the centre of the engine block.

    The wheels are shop bought as are the furniture button lights on the front and rear bumper bars..
    i made the headlights and secured with a 1/4" bamboo skewer.

    The finish is my home made wipe-on-poly.

    The chassis is Spotted Gum, the engine is Merbau,the roof is American Oak, the drivers seat is Cyprus Pine, but I haven't a clue on the sides.

    This one has gone to the local shop.

    Another nice build Peter, I reckon you’d bleed Ford blue if you cut yourself!

    Maroon actually as I was born and breed in God's Own Country, Queensland!
    Donated 188 whole pints of my good maroon blood to the Red Cross Blood Bank in New South Wales.
