    Model A Ford pickup

    Recently completed this model "A" ford pickup. The plans were for A "Tourer", but I had memories of a utility (pickup), and had a desire to build one, and modified the to build the pickup. It is built from Queensland maple and white beech, with walnut mud guards (fenders). The steering wheel activates the front wheels. All wheels were shop built not kit wheels. There are no metal fixings and is approximately 300mm long. I think the tray is a tad too long, but doesn't look to much out of proportion.
    Comments very welcome.

    That's an incredible piece of work. I am truly in awe. How many hours did you put into this project?

    Hi Lex, there was about 48 hours spent on the model. The tail gate opens as well, I still have to fit the chain to it.

    Very nice work.
