oneescalante Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Picked her up at a yard sale for a dollar. Shes going to be the tow vehicle for the Camarow Boat. (project that stalled because my skill level was not up to par with what I wanted to do) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneescalante Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 My buddy rusted her out, I dont know if thats cheating, but I wanted to put that out there! It was his 1st rust job and I like it! Everything else is my doing, good or bad! Added plates to the firewall to cover up the holes for the hood, which the painter misplaced. Will cover the firewall with plates when I'm done, because I kept fingering them and missing them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneescalante Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Puttyed the top of the frame rails and topped off the gas tank. The crossmember was to big and had to be cut down. Painted the frame with craft smart acrylic, which is awesome! Using 77 GMC plow truck rims, tires, spare tire and fuel can. 32 Ford Revell 302 FI pink motor.

oneescalante Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Bumpers from the scrap pile. 1/32? semi tanker truck front bumper and a credit card. Had to rework that since it was to "heavy" for the front. 3 unknown bumper for the rear and added the spare tire carrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneescalante Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Gas can rack made from square toothpics, WW 2 Jeep jerry cans and shovel/ax added. Junk pile BMF sun visor and WW2 jeep mirrors. Tried some skid plates!?! But did not like that much and pulled em off. Also thinned out the front bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneescalante Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Tried to finish her up....but found a topper for a 65 elcamino and built a camper. Used 2 WW2 jeep surrey tops for the roof and two 34 ford pickup tounnea covers for the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Great, outta-the-box thinking! I love the idea! You do know that the headlights are upside-down, right? I mean, they're great for coon huntin' an' all but they won't do a thing for the driving at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they're great for coon huntin' an' all but they won't do a thing for the driving at night. This is my 4th build, only one close to being done. I get bored with box stock! Good catch on the headlamps! Did not notice that. I got it on the list to clean them up, so I will flip them over. Not glueing the frame to the body and going to work on a pro street frame, 3 different looks with 1 body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
