1948 Ford Roadster P/U ??????TRAKABLE??? May 20, 2012 21:02:12 GMT -5

Well, here goes. this is a 1948 Ford P/U that I got from a friend that was missing it's cab. Sooo, I bucketed it and here you go. The body and wheels/tires are probably o.k. The '41 Lincoln V12 is proly o.k. Right hand drive? Probably NOT o.k.; the girls (glued in), the sewer pipes out the back, the air-ride, graphics, etc.
I built this truck as a Bottrop (Great car show in Germany) promotional vehicle. If you read my Intro, you know that I build mostly non-TRAKable stuff, and this is as close as I get right now. I COMPLETELY fowled the paint, so I had a little fun with the farmer boards. Thanks for your consideration, and let me know if I need to try again.

Spend a little time lookin' 'round here, and you'll get an idea, of what we think is traditional. Nice rat truck, tho.

RodBurNeR: I hope you are all having a nice Memorial Day weekend! May 26, 2024 8:26:51 GMT -5

Mr. Metallic: Sorry to let everyone down but I'm going to have to give up my responsibility running MoM. Anyone willing to take it over please reach out to Bob and I. Jun 4, 2024 16:32:47 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: Craig it's all good, yes please let me know if anyone is interested. I will be a lot more involved after August! Jul 13, 2024 22:57:15 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: have a good weekend everyone! Oct 25, 2024 17:25:38 GMT -5

krassandbernie: I've posted some really cool stuff here on this board recently with little response......this place is on life support! Nov 4, 2024 20:17:16 GMT -5

Mr409: Posting has been a bit slow here lately. It's a shame, in my opinion this is the best modeling site around. I, myself, have one barely un-TRaKable project going on at the moment, once that's done I'll get back to work on some of my TRaKable projects... Nov 6, 2024 12:54:58 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: it has been a bit slow, but i come everyday. i am so close to being able to build and hope that things pick up again i miss this place! Nov 9, 2024 22:04:22 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: I paid up three more years on fotki, it's been 20yrs already! Nov 11, 2024 23:16:53 GMT -5

Mr. Metallic: it's been about that long for me too Bob Nov 15, 2024 7:55:05 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: with facebook and instagram, it amazed me how many people stopped paying for storage and so many great memories are lost. i will not do that. Nov 17, 2024 13:31:07 GMT -5

Mr409: My Fotki is since 14 years. It indeed is a bummer how many pics are gone from old threads. I will also try to keep mine up there, but I also don't have any desire to go to FB or Instagram either.

Nov 17, 2024 17:50:56 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: facebook has it's ups, but i really like to share here when i am building. it matters to me what is said here more than anywhere else. Nov 17, 2024 22:07:19 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: just want to wish everyone a happy safe holiday season! it's among us Nov 22, 2024 22:57:44 GMT -5

EchoBravoSierra: Everything on FB is ephemeral. I'm sure it still exists, but finding it is near impossible if it was posted in a group. I had an idea bumping around in my head and realized it was because of someone's build here, and I found the thread to re-read through Nov 27, 2024 12:31:14 GMT -5

EchoBravoSierra: Good luck finding anything more than a few days old on a FB group. Nov 27, 2024 12:31:44 GMT -5
