A 1941 Ford Woody, ready to hit the surf with vintage surfboard and the required surfer decals. Of course, with a hopped-up flathead to get their faster. As with all my build includes the require LED lighting system for headlights, gauge lights and taillights. Not to mention more than 40 Top Studio 0.9mm rivets for the wood framing bolts. Surprisingly I only lost 2 in the process of installing them. Woodgrain work using oil paints.

Everywhere you look the finishes are beautifully done and very realistic looking. The body color and the shades of the wood portions look like something from that time period.

Thanks Zippi. The color was an original for the year I picked up for MCW finishes. I thought about a roof rack, but it felt more like what a young surfer in the 50s would have done hanging out the back. :)
