Frank Kulas Hardware Co.

Here's the shop truck for Frank Kulas Hardware! Revell's sweet '50 Ford F1.

This started life as a 4x2 from the factory and when Frank saw it at the dealer he fell in love with it instantly but seeing as he lived a few miles outa town on a few acres he knew this rig would'nt last long gonig up his rough old driveway everyday! But he had his heart set on buying it. After a few phone calls the dealer found a small company doing 4x4 conversions, So the Pickup was loaded onto a car carrier and headed off to the big smoke. A few weeks later Frank got a call from the local Dealer so Frank headed straight down there from his hardware store to pick up His new Harmon Murman 4x4 F1! After a Quick good by to his trusty Jeep (Trade in!) Frank took his new ride straght to the local sign writers so he could make it his offical work truck! These days Frank takes the old girl outa the Garage every now and then for old times sake, and he never leaves the dog at home!!

Very nice Paul, but "Cujo" on the tray is a little out of scale I think. Then again he could be on a McDonalds "super-size me" food plan? Love the wheels and overall look - well done.
