    I acquired this 1947 Thistle Jeep nearly 2 years ago and it finally made it on my project list this past winter. Over 100 hour went into this project. The scale Bantam trailer was completely fabricated from scratch, with the exception of the wheels. Our grandson really enjoys it because it's just like his dad's

      Not crazy about the colour but love it. Great job, you even got the "roll" over the wheels on the trailer right. You have a good eye for detail.

      Thanks for the comments. The rolled edge on the trailer fenders was done by welding a 1/4 inch steel rod on the edge of a piece of 1 1/2 wide flat stock and then grinding it back to create the look.......as for colour it's not really mine either, but I had no choice... our grandson wanted it the same colour as his dad's 2012 Jeep.......Gecko Green

      Have geckos all over the place, but never saw one that colour! I guess it grows on you. I'm even beginning to like it, - with sunglasses on. Have a good one.
