Clifford, a great job on all of these. There are real beauties.

The one 1:1 car that has knocked my socks off more than any other is the Chip Foose 1940 Ford 2Dr Sedan in orange. I liked it the most because he took out the post and turned the car into a 2Dr Hardtop.
I would like a model like that one.
Do you think it could be done with a 1:24 model?
I have the '40 1:24 model and am considering it.
I would appreciate a suggestion even if it is ... DON"T DO IT!!
LOL

Spectacular work Mr. Read

I particularly love the 35 Ford and most of all, the 40 Ford/trailer. Man that looks like Serria Gold to me. Just beautiful.

Thank you for sharing your artistry.

Incredible Cliff and thanks for posting. Each time I think I have a favorite

I go to the next one and decide it is my favorite. By the way, what scale is the cement truck?

Just Magnificent

This is just inspired work Clifford. I have little doubt as to the skill, time and effort, and patience to produce these one off wonders. Thanks for sharing the insights and info on how you created some of these beauties.

It's 1/25 scale, as is the tractor/trailer
