Another expensive hobby at its height this time of year.

latest regulations....

I like this. The body is a bit different looking.

It is, Hawk22, what year and type of car is that? By the way, great looking fish

Like most modified cars of this era, there were more than on version. But generally
a bobtailed 37 Ford with the same colors & sponsors. Lots of Evergreen plastic and
body filler on this one.

The original version I did also uses a more stock looking 37 Ford body and stock headers.

Thanks for the reply Hawk. As usual, your work on this one and all of your modified's is spot on.

maybe crazy but actually did a third version of the 12 using a bobtailed AMT 40 Ford body.
But only the latest version is for my own collection. The other two are in Florida.

Notice this one has a screen windshield
