Started with the Revell kit with the Yellow and Blue trucks on the front, and everything just sort of snowballed into this crazy thing. There have been alot of changes, but it is still the stock body, engine block, interior (except the door panels), and the frame from the cab forward. Almost every kit part was modified in some way. Wheels are from an old funny car kit, and the kit moon caps were used.Tires from the Chevelle kit. Believe it or not, that is the stock bench seat in there, modified of course. I forget where I got the super charger and electric fan setup. The carbs are from another Revell street rod kit. The diamond plate is supposedly 1/100th scale!!     So many other things I am sure I am forgetting, Its been a long 4 months or so. Ask away.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was another "quick" build, at least for me.I finished this one a while back, and never got around to taking pictures. Sorry I only have two lousy pics. My camera decided it wants to take pictures in shades of blue and purple only.    Until I figure that out, this is all I have to post. The inspiration was a real `55 just like this that I saw in Ocean City cruise weekend last year. Nothing special with this build...pretty much straight out of the box with the wheels from the `56 kit, and added wires and hoses.

 

Have any of you guys found a source for accurate diamond plate for 1/24th or 1/25 scale? I know there is the plastruct "double-diamond" plate, but I`m not sure if that is accurate to scale, and would really prefer the single diamond plate.

Thanks!

I know I have seen these in resin before, but can`t find any for the life of me. Anyone know where to get these?

This is a really old build, almost 10 years old. But I had it out of the case to get pictures, so I thought I would share them with everyone. I can`t remember a whole lot about this build, but it is still one of my favorites. From memory, the paint is duplicolor.
