1955 Chevy Suburban 4x4

1955 Chevy Suburban 4x4

I call this one ZEUS. The body is a Jimmy Flintstone resin body and I used an AMT 1955 Chevy Cameo Pickup kit as my donor kit. The body is hand painted with a Sheer Metallic Blue acrylic craft paint color. The suspension is from the donor kit. The transfer case is pulled from a Ford Bronco 4x4 kit. The driveshafts are made from scratch. The rims are one of my 3D designed TIS 547 Off Road rims and 3D printed with some Z Force Model Works bogger tires that are also 3D printed. The rims are painted with Molotow Liquid Chrome and the tires are painted with a flat black acrylic craft paint. The frame and suspension are painted with a metallic silver acrylic craft paint. The grill is a Big Guys Garage custom 1955 Chevy Pickup mesh grill and painted white. The interior is modified from the 1955 Chevy Cameo Pickup kit interior. From the front seats on back is all made from scratch. The transmission hump is made from a scrap piece of plastic I ot from an old shaving razor box. The seats are salvaged from a couple of parts kits. The steering wheel is from an AMT Ford Phaeton street rod kit. The interior is painted the same colors as the body but reversed. The windshield is the 1955 Chevy Cameo Pickup kit glass. The engine is a 3D printed Hobbi Werks Fuel Injected 632 cid Big Block Chevy engine. The inner front fender wells are trimmed a little to fit the headers. The hood is also salvaged from the 1955 Chevy Cameo Pickup donor kit. The inner fender wells in the back are the ones that would have been used on the 1955 Chevy Cameo Pickup. Even the rear floor is actually the truck bed with a sheet of styrene laying on top of it to smooth it out. The figure is a 3DP Miniatures design and is 3D printed. The Bulldog is 3D printed too.
