Ford HotRod C-Cab Ute/Pickup
Ford HotRod C-Cab Ute/Pickup
I was given an offcut from a Blackwood slab by Liam of Goat Works in Penrith after he saw my SuperTee Fund Raiser HotRod which at first glance looked ordinary BUT wow after I machined and sanded it WOW, the figure and grain was gorgeous.
I sent a photo to Liam saying it's way too nice a piece of timber for a toy, BUT Liam said "CUT IT UP" and use it.
So the journey to this toy started.
I'd also been given some offcuts of some African Mahogany from "Four Hands Repair Shed" in Faulconbridge which seemed to complement the Blackwood well.
Four Hands Workshop
The Blackwood was used for the engine, cab roof, side steps, exhaust stacks, rear mudguards and rear bump bar.
The African Mahogany was used for the cab sides and the tray sides.
I choice some very figured Cypress Pine flooring for the cab floor and tray floor.
The rear wheels are TallowWood with the front wheels some sort of misc Gum Tree.
The chassis is from Spotted Gum decking boards.
The quilted seats are Cedar Shingles with Blackwood Dash Panel.
The radiator is the under side of Merbau decking board with a strip of Ceylon Ebony from Ian [aka Chief Tiff] as the highlight on the engine.
The headlights are homemade from a macrame bead and Tassie Oak dowel while the rear lights are shop bought.
The beautiful Laser cut Ford badge/logo on the back is thanks to Alex [aka LBD] and the front badges are shop bought Lapel Pins.
This time the whole HotRod has been polished with Kustom Grit "Set1"
Kustom Grit Set | Kustom Creations
Overall measurements are 19.5" [495mm] x 12.5" [320mm] x 6.5" [165mm] which took well over 60hrs.
That's my last big scratch build in the shed for at least the next couple of months as I have a much needed scheduled hip replacement in a weeks time.
Cheers crowie
