I think what you did was a clever and well done mix of parts, and I'll bet that someone else copies some of your ideas. Gary

Really successful result.

Those tires and hubcaps were the final touch. What hubcaps are those? They look great with the painted in detail. This is a very original build, it reaslly doesn't look like anything I remember seeing, but still very traditional in its overall impact.
