Guest JamesDE Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Started this about 2 years ago, this is the second kit Ive attempted this with, the first was sold before I could finish the hood.... Now Im back and in full swing on this one..... Here are some pics of the cab.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxer Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 WoW on that hood! I sure hope you're gonna stick on this one to the end ... and all here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I love the truck, not really digging the sleeper though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JamesDE Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Back with an update... First this is the rendering that inspired me to start this project 2 years ago... So now Im gonna build it similar to this... I ditched the sleeper because I felt it didnt really flow with the cab very well... The dump bed has been started as well...

W-409 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 This one looks very interesting so far. Personally I don't like that hood, but that other thing looks very good and I like seeing big modifications, it's always very great and gives some inspiration to myself to continue tricky builds. Nice work with it, more please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Haas Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) I used a body from Ron Andrews I think, to make my hauler http://public.fotki.com/lannyhaas/49-chevy-coe-racers/ Edited January 21, 2011 by Lanny Haas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darkside Customs Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 This has been so long since I've updated.... I finally got a hold of some of my builds and projects from back in Cali... Back again on this.... Lete see how long it takes me to finish, considering this has been close to a three year project..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonFL Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 This thing is so cool. I've always wanted to build a big rig slammed on the ground. I was looking at your work on another forum, you do some nice work. Can't wait to see how this one turns out, keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxer Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Liking seeing this back on the table. But I'd never push you on it .. 3 years is nothing according to my build schedule. The best part of building is the building ... if you finish it, you can't work on it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Looking good. Good move dumping the sleeper, it just didn't look right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan_m Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I agree with ray on the sleeper...... this thing is way cool, and so much work to get it to where you are.... im lazy, i woulda bought the resin one! LOL cheers bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven2 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 This is looking good, I like the pickup bed better than the dump truck or sleeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUSTOMBOY Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 good job !!!!!! if you search some informations for finish your model , see here my fotki "special COE" http://public.fotki.com/customboy/ thanks for your visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorvairJim Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Thanks for showing this build in it's present condition! I've been playing with the idea of doing this some day, with an eye toward a wedge hauler like Lanny posted above. Ironically you show a vintage AMT Corvair reissue kit box in the background of the first several photos, and that's what I'd be hauling on the wedge - a Corvair drag car!
