1930s Marx Light Up Military Rusty Truck Restoration

I purchased this 1930s Marx Light Up Military Army Truck October of 2020. It was in really rough shape but also was very cool! It had all of the holes to be a light up truck other than the grille. I decided to make this one into a working light up truck and remanufactured the switch handle and headlight contacts. I also was not a big fan of the wooden wheels, so I swapped them out for rubber ones and kept the wooden ones for later if I ever decide to put it back to original wheels. I really love how the color came out on this one! Also this was my very first time using a sewing machine and it went pretty well honestly. Thanks again for watching!
