I don't remember seeing one of these posted, but that sure doesn't mean one hasn't been.

Anyway, here's the one I built. Box stock and built before I knew about stripping chrome and puttying seams. I could never quite figure out why out of 10 drive wheels, only 8 rims were plated so the two painted ones are on the passenger side. Oh well.

Thanks for taking a peek.

The original ALA KART was built by George Barris and his brother Sam, in I believe 1958, using a '29 model A ford. Seems to me like the cab was a '29 and the bed a '28 or the other way around.

I built this model in 2005. I lost a bunch of pictures so had to retake in 2011

If you're interested, go to this site.

Thanks,

That's dust on the roof and not in the paint...thankfully. Thanks, Win

I posted this the other day and A.J. said the pictures weren't there so had Jerry delete it. The pictures were out of Fotki so will try out of Photobucket and see what happens.

[font size="4" I made this model for my wife's sister and her husband who many moons ago did own The Coal Company in Buhl, Idaho. But...they didn't have a '25 Mack.

Thanks,
Win[/font]

The license plate is a 1925 Idaho that I found in the Idaho Historical Society's site so saved it to my pc then printed it. Some times you get lucky.

What a pain in the patoot to work with. Mr. Schooldude we both should be happy...I struck a happy medium with this one...Budds and Wobblers. Thanks, Win
