Default Model A Ford wooden and metal Crafts

Do any of our members make crafts such as Wooden Model A Ford mailboxes, wooden bird houses, home made weather Vanes ( not factory ) or any other crafts. There are always crafts at Hershey but usually not Model A. Thanks in advance. Wayne

Looking for especially the mailbox made of wood and shaped like a Mail Truck. Wayne

If you cut a silhouette of a Model A from thick plywood and fastened it to each side of a regular mailbox, that would protect it from vandals that like to smash mailboxes.

Fox Valley MARC has a member that made a standard mailbox into a very believable Model A Tudor. He used a few pieces of galvanized metal and some pop rivets, but it was his paint job that made the difference.
We did not put it on the post because we did not want to risk losing it to some joyriding teenager with a baseball bat. I only have a winter picture.
