A hot-rodding blast from the past builds a heavy duty blast from the past

When a well-known builder becomes a LEGO designer, we can usually expect a decrease in their personal output. This can be because designing LEGO sets for a living can scratch that creative urge, or they may be contractually obligated to keep a low profile. Whatever the reason, it’s a real thrill to see designer Adam Grabowski bring back his hot-rodding retro persona, Misterzumbi, even if just briefly. This time, he tackles the hard-working and reliable Ford C-Series of trucks. I presume the red stake truck is the C-900, while its stubbier white counterpart is the C-600, which, in my opinion, is like a bulldog; so ugly it’s cute. He tells us that the newish round corner brick was the inspiration to give the C-series a go. Having the C-600 on my own to-do list for a while, it was the round corner shape, or lack thereof, that factored into my not building the vehicle just yet. Now that it’s here, thanks, Adam, for showing us the way!

“Misterzumbi” was one of the very first builders to be featured on The Brothers Brick. Here’s our first post from Adam from over 20 years ago!
