This morning, I did some detailing and weathering on the chicken wire assembly, and mounted the headlight brackets that I had made from the model A's rear bumper brackets .

Along with doing some other things, I made a tail light out of a 1:24 Chev hubcap and a large lens from the custom ones that were in the 50(50) !!! ONE MORE FREEKIN TIME (fifty) Ford. almost still too big for this scale !
Wasn't all that easy, so the rat will only have one.

Yeah Mr Hat's Off has been causing some problems. It's to do with each Smiley having to have a number. His was 50!!! I could have given him another number I suppose but I chose to give him the big heave ho!!!

A little update so's y'all don't think I've croaked.
I've been laying low, babying the knee so they won, have a reason to think they have to completely redo it ! As it is, they have to open it up again after the bone heals so they can remove the wires that broke.
I did sneak out to the studio one day last week and drilled holes in the visor.  Big Rat A sedan - Page 6 1578238153

Should be having some updates soon.
Knee Dr today.
Broken wire hasn't changed. If I can keep babying it for 6 more weeks, the knee may have healed enough for the wires to be removed.
Dr acknowledged he uses bolt cutters to cut that wire !

I have a brace that I think I'll use so I can go out and do stuff. Sitting in the house sucks big time.
It's 84° here in Florida !!
