bbowser Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I usually build OOB with no extra detailing beyond paint/foil. This is my first (finished) attempt at something other than box stock. I used a '60 Chevy P/U, grafted the back half of a F350 dually onto the frame, planted a 348 W motor from a '62 Belair because I didn't think the 235-6 would be up to the job, and then added the camper from the Model King reissue of the Racer's Wedge/Camper. It was a lot of fun and has given me some confidence to try a couple other projects that have been lurking in the dark recesses. I especially enjoyed building a kitchen sink/stove/fridge as a change of pace! Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ra7c7er Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 That's awesome. I have been trying to figure out what truck to put my camper on. Now I know I just need to make custom up myown. Doubt it will look as good as yours though. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbler75 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Perfect blending of parts to bring us one stunningly remarkable build! I love this all the way around as it almost looks like a camper I had many many many years ago. Mine was Red and Cream. Two Thumbs up! Awesome! I love it!

moparfarmer Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 A racer here in Winnipeg had a light blue one like yours in the mid 60s with what I can remember the same style of camper. Had a big block Chevy in it, and they used to pull a sprint car to Grand Forks N.D. every friday night . He later sold it to a friend of mine, Craig Beischer, who used it to go to the races every week for years to come. Its still sitting in his back yard. He has since died and his son owns it now. He's started to fix it up, and will travel to Motocross races with it like his dad did. He says it will bring back memories and its a bit nostalgic. Yours looks real sweet. You've done a very good job. Be proud and don't be afraid to try something different.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhu Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Sub zero, possibly even cooler. I can't see a single thing I don't like. I've got ideas clicking over in my mind now, as if I don't have enough unfinished projects already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbowser Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the encouragement. I had a few moments, like lining up the 2 tone on the cab & camper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
