BIGTRUCK Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Is it a car or a showrod is it a truck now? Not sure where to put it so here is a safe bet. Cobbled a better interior with a little more detail and opened the cowl vent. Waiting on some sitting figures to come in . Those will need a lot of work to look close to the characters.

iBorg Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Just those two pictures tell me I want to watch this one. I'd love better interior pictures. Already it looks more "right" than 95% of the builds of this kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going off a picture from the show and my bad memory ? This is the picture Edited June 1, 2019 by BIGTRUCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunc Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) hmm, never noticed before that the driver-side front fender looks like a sheet metal replacement. a little photo research shows that a partial fender replacement had happened, it just wasn't an original fender that was grafted on.

bisc63 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) I loved it when Jethro tried to modify it into a "double-nought spy car" ala James Bond. I think he used a galvanized wash tub turned upside down for a bullet-proof cockpit cover, with a peep hole cut for forward visibility. Beautiful.

gtx6970 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Nice start so far. I was a big fan of the show back then ( as was most any young boy ) and have given some serious thoughts to seek out one of these kits from time to time. BUT, ive never done weathered build like this ,,,,,so I think maybe not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugatti Fan Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Popular show way back in the 60's. Besides the family there was their straight laced lady advisor from the bank I think on the show. I can remember one episode where Jethro came home and asked ' What's for dinner Grandma?' To which she replied 'Possum innards!' Then he asked about dinner tomorrow and Grandma's reply was 'Leftovers!' I would like to get hold of one of those old kits. Funnily enough I still have a weathering article on the kit from an old copy of Model Car Science. Saved it in a folder from one of the very few copies that turned up in the UK at the time.

Dave Van Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 One episode of the BH they truck has a giant Confederate Battle Flag mounted on the front fender. The truck is shown driving around town flying the flag. Surprised it gets shown and the whole shows is not cancelled!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
