Progress on my Tee-Totaller

More fun with Hot Wheels:


Still have more paint and detail to do... maybe some "Demon Rum" logos.

WOW! Kooool scurvy! I like this! ;D ;D ;D
One could build also in 1:25 . The barrel looks good. From where do you have this? And these wheels ? Rubber tire or from a piece?

Cool Dave, what was it before?

[scurvy]

It started out as one of these - in similar condition to this one:

The wheels are from one of the "upscale" Hot Wheels '68 Camaros, and feature seperate "rubber" tires on big and bigger chrome five-spoke "mag" wheels. That barrel? The Beer Wagon donated one of its many barrels to the cause.

I think the headers will be the biggest challenge in 1:25... I've already started the delivery version in plastic, based on the side-by-side engines/chassis of a Double Dragster and a Paddy Wagon.
