AMT '40 Ford Woodie Delivery-Rides Magazine

Hello Pat!

Now this is as usual a very interesting build, one of a kind, too! I don't like the wheel that much, though - they could usesome kind of spokes or holes!

Thanks for sharing and have a nice day

This is the box front Pawel............

That's what the front of the wheels where like! To me not nice! At least I cleaned them up, and added the 'woodie' touch. Thanks for your comments.

Very clever way to fabricate the wheels. That smooth look is starting to be a bona fide style here in the US. A really good looking build, I also enjoyed seeing your T with the trailer. Thanks for posting the photos!

Thanks Mike for your comments, yes I've seen a few 1:1 cars on hot rod sites with this style of wheel so when I saw the backs I had to try this out! I've now got to look on the shelves for the next build, and it might be another woodie!

Pat;

   I like what you did . One reservation I have is personal though .I do not care at all for oversize wheels on anything but off-road trucks ! The " Donk" type wheel does nothing for me and in my eye otherwise detracts from an absolutely gorgeous model .. T.B.

Thanks for your comments T-B but they are the only wheels in the kit and I did improve the look from the chromed fluted wheels that were on offer. I may well have changed them for smaller diameter white walls if the choice was there, but unfortunately it wasn't.

There were though a lot of extra plastic and chromed parts from perhaps the standard kit

I also don't like the raised 'Donk' look either.

Ah !

 That's a situation I am quite familiar with . Now that you,ve made that clear I do like the smoother wheels though . I get quite frustrated when I cannot do a change to something I like better . I have a 64 Impala " Low Rider "- Teensy wheels . Can't stand them , But nothing else would work in that configuration , So built it as is .

   Still looks kind of neat , Guess they grow on you ! Still a nice build though and I am a pushover for any shade of blue anyway . T.B.

Cheers T.B.
