502 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Well here is the finished product. I still need to find some mirrors for it. I dont like the one it came with and I wanted 2 on it anyways. I never intended to put as much work in it as I did anyways but I am very happy with the way it turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 . I still need to find some mirrors for it. I dont like the one it came with and I wanted 2 on it anyways. I love this truck! Everything about it is just right, nothing is over done. The wheels fit right in too. As far as mirrors, a pair of the street rod mirrors from either Model Car Garage or Scale Repros Plus would look very cool. They are small round mirrors and come in pairs. They are machined aluminum.

502 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Thanks, Im glad you all like it. I usually build demolition derby car models. So this is really my first go at a normal build. Tom thanks for the info on the mirrors, I will check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

502 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 So I finally got around to completely finishing the truck and adding a few extras. Derby City Shootout is Saturday so I figured it was time to get it done. I added mirrors, tail lights, and some junk in the bed to go along with the whole "rusty money salvage."

502 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Brought home another trophy last week at a local show and made it in Scale Auto's December issue. Its time to retire the truck from any shows but I'm about to start on the next. It will be a 65 chevy styled kind of like the trucks porterbuilt and delmo's have been building lately.
