Fat Fendered Freaky Ford

[flarud]

I purchased a 6 pattern set last year and made the truck then.   Made the coupe today... at this rate, 4 more years and I'll have all 6 completed! LOL

The coupe was made with a Cedar body and some Pine fenders.  I used BLO as a finish.   I knew that both the Cedar and Pine would probably not look good with any kind of finish so I took the easy way out and used the BLO.  

Btw, the truck has a Maple body and Walnut fenders.

I remembered when you made yours.  It got me in "gear" to make mine.. Pun intended!

Toys are so rewarding to make. Especially when you see kids play with them.
