My 1/3rd scale Ambulance

Recommended Posts

I built this several years ago. lots of pics from start to finish. Started out as a $500 project and ended up over $7000 in the end! I will do thes in several posts as there are a lot of pics.

 

 

The first version made from a plastic JD gator kids toy
