Posted: Mon Dec 10, 2012 10:17 pmThat is cool looking! Never thought of building one in that style. I made this one by using the Hot Wheels woody and a Tyco 40 Ford coupe.

Posted: Mon Dec 10, 2012 11:17 pmThose are cool! I'd built something similar as a teen...a long time ago. Brings back good memories of my HO days.

Posted: Fri Dec 14, 2012 12:41 pmNice work! Glad to see someone actually followed through with that idea! Very cool indeed, I like how you incorporated the side pipes from the Tyco '40 Ford into that one. I've got about half a dozen of those woodie bodies stashed in my "to build someday" box. Unfortunately for me, they'll probably stay on the back burner for a long while, too (maybe I could talk myself into making one a drag woody).
Thanks for the photos and showing me what I'm missing out on. Too many "irons in the fire" I guess!
Happy Holidays... Ernie

Posted: Fri Dec 14, 2012 5:32 pmThe hardest part was figuring out how to mount the body.I used the A/Fx Ford Van as a guide and used sheet plastic to make the rear mount.For the front I used thick model sprue to make the tube that accepts the screw.I glued the tube to the inside of the hollow blower scoop.
