I saw your thread about your new Ford N... here's one a guy built for his son...

He hand-carved a mold for a vac-formed hood...

and used an electric wheel-chair as a donor.

Now that's cool

he did a great job on the hood too. Wonder how long it took to build the mold? When I was little, we used to go visit my aunt. There was an old man who had a mini John Deere, right down the road from my aunt's house. I always wanted to be dropped off at his house on the way. I told mom and dad they could pick me up on the way home. Visiting my aunt was OK, but I loved riding the little tractor.

That's awesome!!!! And Steve, not to thread jack, but maybe thats what the kids now-days need .......... not to be afraid of a little hard work when they grow up. I think that kids's Dad might just be on to something.
