    Wow...some very Kool stuff guys.. I had a little desk top car show today and some of the Rat Fink collection showed up along with a few others ....most of these were brought out of there factory sealed boxes today for the first time ....you just got to bring them out and play with them or what's the point of having them.... I just don't smash them and set them on fire like I did when I was kid... I do take some of them apart and modify and repaint them...but I don't set them on fire any more...my dad actually broke me of that ....he was a fire fighter.. retired now...[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    I have been putting together a push truck/tow rig combination with a vintage style tow dolly for my dirt car I did awhile back...the picture I included is of a set up from back when my dad dirt tracked back in the 60's ,this isn't his set up he rope towed his, so far this is what I've mocked up ...the pu is one that I have had I just added the tire/wheel combo and push bumper it's also, when finished, going to be able to raise and lower the rear suspension for displaying with or without the car and dolly hooked up ...the dolly is being scratch built (it's not finished yet) till next time....[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Picked up a couple of cars at a sale to add to my collection. The Hubley 61/62 Corvair Wagon was different and the metal was still in decent shape so I decided to give it a new paint job. The Tootsietoy Model A was also something that I did not have and just needed a split tire repair. For now I will leave the paint alone on this one.

  12. That corvair wagon is tooo cool. Really like the skirts. The garage looks great decorated for Christmas, Ed. I found these three little chickens. So just for ta fun of it, I took a few of pictures of them, with an old sketch, that I called the Chicken Coupe.

  18. Tombstone they're Great! I think as long as they are cool, and pre 65 Hot Rods. Not too picky what they're made of. Getting one of those for Christmas back in the day. Would have made a kid Very happy! Here's a couple motorcycles. 20171120_230954.jpg 20171120_230459.jpg 20171120_231129.jpg 20171120_230954.jpg

  20. RUDESTUDE ,Cool Tootsietoy , A- bone. I really like to see the played with look on toys. It shows that a kid had a lot of fun with it.:) Also notice the wide tires on all fours. A sign of the times. They were probably sold in the 1980s. I have a ton of those little rascals. { I LOVE-EM } If I see anything model A , I can never pass it up.:rolleyes: Thanks for sharing. Ron...

    Is this an improvement? These Early Wyandotte trucks came with solid wood wheels or sometimes with rubber tires. Sometimes the solid wood wheels were dualed in the rear. I've never seen the rubber tired versions with duals. The first three trucks are original. The blue truck is modified with metal wheels and rubber tires from the 1950s.

    First, do the metal wheels get a thumbs up? Second, does it look so dumb to have the dual wheel sticking out past the bed that it would be better to have singles on the back?
