well did surgery today wife gave me a idea any way took a look in the box of t stuff and pulled out a paddy wagon top an body took good slice down the cent of the roof and the sides just between the belt lines not sure if it will make it into one of the two name game build's or if it's a third one discovered I got way to many old rod parts. top and side half tempted to do a different sort of fruit wagon pardon the term but I might involve white coats an nets warning never work on t model's while the son's watching the stoogies or when munsters is on thing's get weird fast!!

Your build looks great. I will watch with interest. Grumpy I built a Fruit Wagon last year and I thought the same about the rear tyres. I did the same to the frame. I will have to finish it and take some pics.
