Aussie Matt Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Started this one a little while ago. Tried to read the guidlines on photos etc, just came up with page not found all the time. So if I add too many photos per post or anything else like that just let me know. Cheers Matt Started with the roof... First mock up... Stretched chassis and sectioned rear quarters Grill Grill shortened, engine mock up started and lowered a little more in the front... And the tray started... That's it for now....hopefully not too many pictures!. Let me know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FASTBACK340 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Wow, it kind of looks like an updated Willy's Jeepster! Great idea! I love it when someone comes up with a new idea on a well-known kit. Build on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychographic Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 That's a cool idea. Is that a Revell parts pack engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Matt Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 Not really my idea, have seen one on the web (a three window), and someone here in Australia offers a three window resin body very similar to the Dan Fink body. I found this picture on the web and thought it would look good a s a five window (I'm 6'7" so if it was full size it would be a tad more suitable for me ). Thanks for the comments too!

surfjunke Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 WOW, That is wild! It is shaping up really well so far. It should be a cool ute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Matt Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 That's a cool idea. Is that a Revell parts pack engine? Hi David, no it's the AMT Blueprinter engine with some carbs from the parts box and brass velocity stacks, the exhaust which I'm wroking on is brass stock and I'll drill the ends out.

Randy D Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hi Matt, Great idea!! Are you going to do rear fenders??? Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Matt Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) Hi Matt, Great idea!! Are you going to do rear fenders??? Randy Hi Randy, yes I will be doing the rear fenders, just unsure on whether I will do the fronts as well and have long running boards or just leave the front with no guards. Have a medicine bottle the right diameter for the rear guards. Matt Edited October 4, 2011 by Aussie Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
