That’s looks spot on. Body reminds me of a Monte Carlo. Peagsus wheels?

WOW some very cool old tractors Thank's for sharing them, The Lanz Bulldog first came out with solid rubber tyres on them and big single cly' engine, Also if you let it sitting there idling it would bounce up and down and the rear wheels would sink into the ground. Most that have been restored have the seat changed on them to a newer soft one as the old one was a solid metal one they also were called Bone shakers. Thank's again. thumbsup

Oh the Fordson Major was a English tractor, I had a tractor accident back in 1968 when I was 11, I was driving a Fordson Major 4000 auto, end up two months in hospital one out of ten live from a tractor accident.

Yeah im happy I got it down to 1 apple high. But had to sacrifice the the under carriage detail to get it that low and had to install a solid straight axle up front. Sump clearance is the thickness of a sheet paper rofl

Thought the same, Japanese Monte Carlo.

Yes the wires are Pegasus #1109's

Done a bit more on the chassis of this one and was able to do a mock up. 100% out of the box.

I’m hoping Tamiya Park green will match for the headlight covers and spoiler. Also thinking about leaving the interior tub in grey primer
