Very cool!

Well my photo bucket account is almost full ,I have to make some room for my Lil express truck pictures ! I am ready to start painting everything and putting it together, just made headers for it ,so I only need to finish the cage and exhaust stacks.

If you mess up just scrub it off and start over.

Thanks John.

Thanks Jeff , I just had to build another one , Jimmy Flintstone asked me about making some more so he can cast them. I might have to build a shiny version! Thanks Richard.

Thanks Rusty.

Thanks Darryl. Thanks Jeff.

Thanks Kerry.

Thanks John , you start with a flat black base then go over it with acrylic's , black and brick red and a old beat up brush .Add some rusty colors of pastels and seal it with dull cote , then dry brush with a dirty white color. Thanks Ray.

Thanks Ron.

Thanks Bob, I didn't take any other pictures of it when I started building it.It's a deals wheels Go-Mad , narrowed up with a reverse chop top .I used the the chassis pan from the Nomad and the front part of the frame and suspension from the Paddy Wagon , the motor is out of the Groovy Grader and the rear tires are out of the Creepy Crawler , all the rest came out of my parts box.Every thing was brush painted and weathered with some pastels.

Started on this a little after it was re-released. I just could help building another Ratmad.

I like the unpaved road ideal too. I would love a Rat Rod theme ,or Wacky Racer theme ,or even an alternative fuel vehicle theme , but I 'll be in no matter what it is !

Sorry haven't touched it , but I hope to soon . It's supposed to be done before Dec

Very cool!

For the plow I would start with a soda can and start cutting and bending.

That looks pretty cool, it does kind of look like stagecoach or maybe a passenger train car , maybe an old O scale train car would be a good start? Glad to see something on here again.

Well I looked a my truck tonight ! I better get going . It looks like it is going to be a crowded starting line this year.

Gold ?

Very cool!

Very cool! The grill it self should be black along with the taillight bezels on a Roadrunner if your going for a stock look.

I like that ideal , would my Anakin's Pod racer work?

Very nice Bob.

I would really like to see a 79 or 80 Volare or Aspen wagon.
