I extended the chassis and I think it looks better now. -

Glad I could help. This is what inspired me to search for the wheels and tires. I saw this truck at a car show. -

Thanks for the kudos and encouragement! I see one issue when comparing the picture and the mock-up I am seeing that the distance between the front and rear fenders in the pic is longer than the distance in the mock-up. I think I may have to extent the frame I also figured out a way to replicate the boom with the bent angle iron. Dave -

I will attempt to replicate the boom in the picture. -

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. I think my son is working on what to challenge me for next Xmas. The taillights from the Stang were beyond usable so I had to scratchbuild some from a pic. A little more progress.

Thank you! The Vette boat is almost done.

Thank you for your kind compliments. Looking back I think I should have added a second set of wheels on the Stang trailer. I think it would not have looked as long after the wheels to the front. Dave

My son gave me 3 gluebombs for Xmas that he got off of Ebay and challenged me to build a model out of all three. They were a 1929 Ford Woodys a 1960 Corvette and a 1975 Mustang. The Mustang was in the worst condition. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of when I got them. I didn’t have the heart to cut up the Woodys so I made it into the tow car with a surfing theme. The Corvette I am making into a speed boat and the Mustang I am making in to the trailer. So far this project is a 90 hour investment. Its not my best work but I’m still adjusting to my new location and I don’t have a spray booth as of yet. The Woodys didn’t come with doors so I left them out. I added wheels, tires and an engine from the parts box. I had some old mahogany veneer so I incorporated it into the side panels and grained the light wood frames. I hand made the anchor (which took two hours) and chromed it then placed it in the spare tire holder on the fender. The surf boards are both scratched built. I wanted a different look for the interior so I hand painted the seats in a Zebra pattern. The Vette will be the speed boat. I narrowed it about 1/4 “ and added the rear fin. I also scratch built the points on the front and the pontoons. Then I cut off the windshield and filled in the wheel wells. I reformed and added a hood from a 1967 Vette. For the interior I used parts of the seating from the Predicta, the dash from a ’55 Porsche and scratch built the rest. The seats will be in the zebra pattern to match the Woodys seats. The Stang has been a challenge. It was covered in heavy hand painted black on top of a couple other colors and also heavily glued. I cut off the roof and cut off the sides. I added an inner wall to the sides and used the bottom curved piece of rear chassis from the Garbage Truck for the front end. I had to widen the body in order to fit the Vetteboat in. I also hinged the rear for the tailgate. I needed to keep the indentation on the side panel to show it is from a Mustang, but also extended it to insert some of the mahogany wood veneer, I added old fenders and scratch built running boards to bring it together with the Woodys. I then built the frame and inside spot for the boat to sit. I am almost finished with this project. I will post completion pics in the Under Glass section soon. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it. Dave
