Built by: Bill Martens in Tampa,
Florida
As we all know the Popcorn wagon and HardHat Hauler are not the best
fitting kits. And built boxstock, they look bad. So I had to do it my
way! I had to get rid of the front tires, so I used a 1/25 scale spoke
wheels--being smaller it looks like the real push carts wheels. I had
a 1/20 scale Distributor with wires made for it. Next, I had to get
rid of the roof vents--they just don't look right. So I scratch-built
a Vinyl roof out of styrene and a drawer mat from my Craftsman tool
box.
I made a wood dash from a wood sample tile. I drilled out all the little
holes on the undercarriage chrome. I used the Peanut-Headed shifter
from my parts box. I hate this shifter but saved it for years now thinking
someday I'd use it (Tell me you don't have one somewhere too--LOL)
..I made my own PopCorn out of Styrofoam and put down a tape under
the popcorn. I had plans to do peanuts too but decided too hurry and
finish this one. Well this is my PopCorn Wagon.
