Just a beater truck that sees a little mud, dump runs, and tows the derby car.
Font and rear bumpers are scratch-built
Good old small-block power
What good is a pickup if you can't haul stuff?

It's seen better days!
I added various body braces and damage. All the numbers, writing, and logos are hand painted.
It's a big-block car too!
Chassis was weathered, rear was braced, and the fender-wells were removed
Another rough Mopar

Sorry Mopar enthusiasts! I did't start with a good kit though! The pillars had been crushed and bent, missing parts and it was molded in brittle yellow plastic.
Serious rust issues....
Various dents and body damage.....
Underside isn't much better.
Tired Super Bee

I have had this kit for a while. It was the one that was molded in metallic blue. It was in rough shape and missing most of its parts so I turned it into a barn/field find.
I made all the glass from clear plastic, used tape to "weather" the Super Bee stripe, and added some dents, rust, and primered panels
A couple tires and some body work and she would be good as new!
The owner is even ready to sell it!
Ouch, rust in the pillars isn't looking too good
66 Chevelle Wagon beater

I had a couple of these kits and I wanted to build something fun. It's just supposed to be a daily driver that has been abused a little.
It has some rust issues, missing trim and some dents and dings. The owner took repair into his own hands and slathered some bondo on the doors and fenders. The passenger door handles were ripped off after an encounter with a corn field and a guard rail!
The other side isn't much better. One of those yellow poles in front of the local store has met the drivers door once or twice. More bondo, a nice dent from hitting a dear and a misaligned hood latch to go with it.
The rear bumper is barely hanging on with some rope after backing into a tree. Cracked the back window too.
Front trim is messed up too, parking lot snow drifting ended with a mangled front bumper and hood trim, along with a slight front end misalignment!
It's hard to keep the windshield clean with only one wiper, but hey it's not cracked....yet
The tired 396 managed to run a 13.90 at the local drag strip. It might have involved nitrous or it was only 1/8 mile I can't remember...
Did I mention it likes to over heat??? The new upper radiator hose didn't seem to help..
Underside is dirty and the oil pan gasket seems to be leaking
The owner did some custom hand painted graphics as well
