Some people have a real hobby with cars. They are not driven by speed, glamour or money. They just love to do their thing. Whatever you think of his Rytecraft Scootatruck lookalike. This is the product of a true and honest afficionado. A rare species nowadays.
" I would like to share my custom build Inspired by the Rytecraft Scootatruck of 1935. It is an all hand made mini pick-up truck assembled in my small work shop and I call it Skutatruck.
I built Skutatruck using car, motorcycle, scooter and many other parts that work to create this one of a kind model. At 78 inches long and 48 inches tall, it can accomodate an average adult or two small children.
For the last 5 years I have been building the parts in my spare time and all came together in the last 10 months.
Working only from a picture and no actual blue print, allows me to take liberty with my design and fabrication. Power plant is a clone 13hp electric start engine. Some modern touches include lights, gauges, horn and even a stereo sysem. For more information on this and other miniature builds please visit my simple blog at micronut. "
