You all have seen the tan '34 Ford low-buck drag car from 1960ish that I threw together for the make-n-take. Well, you can't drive a car to the track with slicks on it, and there isn't enough room in the trunk for the spare parts and tools. so I present the "Tow Vehicle". Earl borrowed his mom and dad's wagon, lowered it a little, sticker-ed it up with some contingency logos, threw on some wide-whites with "sombrero" caps, and a trailer hitch and exhaust extensions. Oh, and a little custom touch to the grill, and he is towing in style! There was no cash in the budget for a trailer, thus the tow bar on the '34. (It started as a J. Flintstone resin body. Got a modded AMT chassis, 1966 Chevelle interior tub, hugely modded,and some racing do-dads in the back.) It was an interesting build, that included all of the "fun" stuff that resin comes with. And, yes, the hood is molded, and still molded shut, just like the drag car! Enjoy the pics. and thanks for looking. ]

Thanks for all of the kind words. I am un-happy with the BMF. It was all that I had at the time, and it was really thick. I have no idea where it came from, but it went into the trash. It just looks heavy. Otherwise, I am pleased.
