Hot Rod Ford Truck with a very much Rat Rod stance.
Hot Rod Ford Truck with a very much “Rat Rod” stance.
This is my second major “Lockdown Stay at Home orders” project to keep busy, motivated and sane, as next week is week 10 of potentially now 15 weeks of isolation; thank goodness for a shed and a woodworking hobby.
So this build had to be something different, along with a blog to keep the project going smoothly plus some “smurf” fun.

Great job yet again Crowie. I love the detail that you put into your models/toys, amazing what can be achieved by using different timbers.
It is starting to warm up a bit which makes it so much more comfortable in the workshop for both you and young Handy.
Lockdown will end (eventually), we are lucky we have a hobby that keeps us busy.
