Project Information
Ford Hot Rod "C" Cab T-Bucket Van
After the fun of making a detailed Ford Hot Rod "C" Cab T-Bucket for myself I knew I needed to make a similar version for other children to play with.

So I started again with the basic Van T-Bucket body though without the rear opening door and a less complicated drivers cabin, bench seat, button steering wheel and bead gear shifter.
The engine took me nearly 4 hours on the original toy so this one was simplified, just radiator, blower and zombie pipes with a strip down the centre of the engine block.
The wheels are shop bought as are the furniture button lights on the front and rear bumper bars..
i made the headlights and secured with a 1/4" bamboo skewer.
The finish is my home made wipe-on-poly.
The chassis is Spotted Gum, the engine is Merbau,the roof is American Oak, the drivers seat is Cyprus Pine, but I haven't a clue on the sides.
This one has gone to the local shop.
