[MOC] Too Soon for a X-Mas MOC? - Ford T bucket HotRod

[Sérgio]

Hi guys.

I did this T-bucket just for fun, I also pay homage to one of my favorite movies, can you guess what is?
 

 

The white tires were hand-painted by me with acrylic paint and a small brush.

Wonderful - this is so nice.

The scale, the painting - I am in love. This LEGO at its best, including putting your very skillful hands on the bricks!!!

With regard to movies, I am bad, terrible but - seeing this tree - too big for the car - this matches my personal one (and forever) favorite Christmas movie: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation ... does it get any better than this?

  Fantastic MOC - thank you very much for sharing!!!

All the best, and drive safely :D

Superb MOC, I love those black and white tires

Indeed this is a neat one! Usually I’m not much of a fan of altered/painted (butchered!) parts but you have a steady hand with that brush of yours. Did you do the gold line on the arched window as well?

Thank you! I'm not a purist, but if if this make you feel better, acrylic paint can be clean with alcool  
The gold lines are made with a chrome gold vynil tape that I bought from a "party shop" and it just costs 1 Euro.
The remaining custom chrome parts are from Chrome Block City
