Crowie is right. The lowered top really makes this car. Nice combination of woods and finish. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone and thanks crowie the spell checker didn't help me with this one. woody?? Woodie much better!!! LOL
I knew I wanted a lowered top but was afraid I had gone to far, that's the problem with scratch builds, you never know if you've gone to far till it's done.

If I build a teardrop camper to pull with it, I'll need to make some bumpers I HATE making bumpers. LOL
I have seen some way cool looking trailers, sounds like a great idea down the road.

That's what I thought when I just about had it done.
By not adding the little stuff it's more playable.

Oh sure, THAT'S an easy way of getting out of adding the little details !
SO that's your story and you're sticking to it, right?

NICE JOB ON the Woodie ! Love it !

"SO that's your story and you're sticking to it, right?"
I almost added that to my post cause I was thinking it for sure!

I don't know why but I like figuring out the big stuff then when it comes time for the small do dads I'm ready to move on to the next project.
You ain't never heard that before have you?
I guess I need to go back to making toys but hey they're all toys to me.

Very cool - with that chopped top you need to be a short fella to drive this beauty. (-;

What, no radiator cap? Love the woodie style and your work. Where did you get those wheels… that detail is impressive on this model. Maybe even a tailpipe… drove a '49 Ford woodie for several college years.
