Daxman Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I'm working on a Datsun race truck. I've fashioned a wide body kit out of some thick Styrene. Here's my inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I like your idea with the Fender Flares but it looks like you may have to go even wider. Your inspiration photo looks like it would also make an interesting build at some future date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a general idea of what I want the final model to be. It's headed in the right direction. I will probably search for a new set of wheels that match the truck a little better.

Daxman Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Just got back from a San Diego vacation and went right to work on the Datsun. I had an old custom hood from a late 60's Buick Riviera kit. I did a little trimming and bending and it fits just right. Although I believe the new hood is going to interfere with the valve cover... While on vacation, I found these amazing illustrations. Both artists below have some fantastic car designs. I hope to achieve a similar look with the Datsun.

Daxman Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 I added some color. Similar to the photo above. Tamaya TS 23 light blue. I plan to add a matte black graphics and ground effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
