Hot Rod FORDS #1: Every good FORD has a big V8 engine..

It’s clear to me: A lot of Fords are no good.

Nice to read about the help you have got from #4. This is why it’s great to be a member of LJ. Success with the hotrod.

Do I see Zebra wood?

Thank you Dutchy, Ford’s are good, well mine is! “First On Race Day” is a good slogan I like!!

The detailing timber is “Blackheart Sassafras”

The other main timbers are Faulconbridge Iron Bark from my own tree and Spotted Gum…

However, I do agree with rc (above)... my brain keeps draining out of my left ear…. maybe you should intersperse orientation.

As I understand it, it is the “metadata” (recorded by the picture taker) that puts a slant on things… Now how you remove it is another thing!

Apologies gents all… I even edited the photos and saved them before adding then to the blog….

crowie, no need to apologise… Ford and bent go hand in hand… I run Jap crap… Honda…
Damn, I remember back in the 60’s… Made in Japan.. PO... now, you’d kill for it (well I wood)!

Thx #4 for levelling out my brain cells (what’s left).

FAIW, when I take a happy snap, I religiously run a routine that removes Metadata. What and how is up to you, however, I believe that is our salvation and keeps my pickies straight.

Great looking. SUPERCHARGED!

Making no comment about our engine prejudices; my favorite is a 6 cylinder combine engine!

Nice work. It takes a lot of effort and creativeness to accurately make small things (like models) and I’m always amazed when they turn out so well.

Great work Crowie, like you I am a Ford man. I take it the engine is a “big block”.
Reminds me of the old saying,”Henry Ford got a piece of tin and a piece of wood, the wood he sawed the tin he bent, he cranked her up and away she went”.
What is this engine going in?

-- Don't tell me it can't be done.
