hi all this build was based on the dan fink's speed wagon , since i already build that kit ounce and got this one with a buy of several kits at ounce i decided to really go all out ..
i did not start with a real set plan .

the kit :




not finished in this picture but i love the picture so ...





after the clear coat on the wood was dry






and the end pictures from today , i have not done any wiring yet , that will have to waight i dont have the correct wires ..

some self made / added stuff :

altered the stock headers and gave them bend pipes
added carbs on the block and made a scoop out of an old truck light
steering arm from the cabine
the radiator brace
completely build the wooden body from scratch (first time)















i loved this so much i will def. make more real wood woodys in the future , i already have some cool plans for a full roof woody

btw the blue really shines irl , but that only visible on indoor pictures with artificial lighting all the pics above where made outside on a piece of canvas

on this early in the build picture it really shows , i will make some better shots later on





even the chassis really shines with the right lightfall

thnx guys

[crazyrichard]

the end pictures where shot with grey skyes , today i woke up and saw the sun shining and blue skyes ...
so i took some better shots where the colors are more alive in

















and now the exhaust is there as reference you can see that the body really shines and does reflect (something that doesnt show on most pics)

Beautiful build, Richard. Really like your details, woodwork & finish.

 

I would not want to take that surfboard in the water, though.
