hot 'n' bothered fordson

[JOHNNERS]

been building this model of the 1970's John Baldacchino Hot 'n' Bothered Fordson, my favourite rod of the era. Little bit Carlos Fantango on the wheels, but couldn't narrow rear axle, not enough of anything left if I did

Used a Revell Simple Simon Thames truck kit, added Jag IRS and double wishbone front suspension, white metal items supplied by Britboy, thanks Harley. Colour is a Chrysler PT Cruiser shade

Happy to help out. Those photos make it look like it's just been pulled out of storage!

And for our foreign readers, the Carlos Fantango reference comes from an advert on British TV where a luckless chap fits super wide "Carlos Fantango" racing tyres to his car, only to discover the car no longer fits through his gate.

And who says there's nothing worth reading on the net!

Looks good to me !!!

Coming along nicely. Does Fordson=Thames?

[BRITBOY]

Certainly does.

Great looking build. Thanks Mr. Britboy for the Fandango information. I like the tires sticking out, a great 70s look. (video)The car was looking great until it hit the gate. That would be a good car for one of you Brits to bash together.
