stoney Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) My next older brother has a Mustang GT 5.0. Paul tried to get me to buy a Camero SS so we could have us a drag race. Keep in mind he is 75 and I am 72. Can't you just see the look on a cops face if he caught us? Anyway it didn't happen I like my Buick Enclave just fine. I'm into making toy cars and trucks and such so I made a tow truck and a Mustang. The pair are for a grand nephew which is also Paul's great grandson. I think Paul will get a kick out of the Mustang on a hook.

rjR Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Neat toys. Yeah; you are hooked! Making toys --even Fords is an addiction! I used to (50 years ago) have to get a Harley with the Ford 2N in the loader bucket many times! Usually he made it about 1-1/2 miles from town and had to walk back. Was not quite a hook; but needed a chain to keep it on the loader. Edited May 2, 2017 by rjR typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Both look great I like it when the wheels are inset. I have always liked Found On Road Dead tweaks the ford owners. Did you also do that very nice shelf? I have a Ford motor in my British sports car. Edited May 2, 2017 by Rolf Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Rolf the shelf is red oak one of my favorite woods to work with. The tow truck is red oak and walnut. The Mustang is laminated pine. Thanks for your comments.

I thought that was "Fix Or Repair Daily" Although in '93 I had to switch to GM because my Nephew said he would not work on Fords. I still miss my Fords. I also found a Ford motor in a sports car I owned. Sunbean Tiger with the Ford 360 in it. It was a great car. Very nice work on the toys Al. They will be greatly appreciated.

Rolf Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Stoney, just looked at the Mustang again, the grain direction makes it look like it is moving. Scrappile do you see what the Tigers are worth now, boy did I love that car. I have a 70 TVR with a 1.6L ford motor, wish it was the Griffith or TVR Tuscan.
