1934 Ford Pickup Hotrod Christmas Tree Delivery

[denders]

My grandsons gifted me this kit last Christmas. I'm building it as a Hotrod Pickup. There are loads of hot rod parts in the kit.

This is Tamiya Lacquer Mica Red paint.

I'm not getting into detailing it because this will most likely end up as a long-term Christmas decoration.

I haven't posted much on this, but I've been working on it.

It's getting there.

Beautiful bed on that truck!  Great orange finish, too.

Nice progress👍

Can you tell me what are those L-shaped blocks used to aling wheels?

[denders]

Chris, thanks, the color is Tamiya lacquer Mica Red. 
Fullarmor, I got those blocks from MicroMark, years ago. The piece they’re sitting on is magnetic sheet on a piece of plywood. I used a white pen to make the grid. All from about ~30+ years ago. I saw the idea in a magazine.

MicroMark still sell these "engineering blocks" ...

Thanks for checking Hubert. I was on my phone and really able to go searching.

Sorry for the misleading moniker (memory and age don’t go together harmoniously ). It’s a machinist’s angle block.

Looking great Denders!  That's a nice looking red finish.

I have those machinist blocks from MicroMark as well.  They come in handy for sure, especially given the weight.

Okay, this one is done.

I like Dave and I am not much a car guy after 45 tears in the industry.
