awsome work on that front !! whow

awsome !! this is the exact kit i want to buy still looking for it just saw a finished build of this kit on a dutch forum , that guy ratted it i like where you are going with this !!! will watch the progress for sure

looking great , the color looks awsome on there !!

awsome color !! i love it

thats some cool paint and masking !!

lol kicker amps and solobaric's thats cool some inspiration ? my m8's car (only for shows) a shape like this kinda fits with the dash and center console you made !! with a joke a stealth 18" soloX

filled up the gap of the roof with plastic did the rear first so that would stay in line i wanted a sunvisor , this is the rough start will get a aditional strip for depth and it wont be as flat and the sides will be closed , also will sand it in a better shape upper seem i fileld with plastic true "plastic welding" doesnt seems so due to the balck color but ist alreadt sanded an real smooth enough work to be done well and this shows how much smaller the cab became still makes sense these are the tyre of the kit and the engine and chassis still fit its almost the same as my other ford pick up but a tad smaller .. well i wanted to make it look smaller to try something new , we will see what happens when i'm further along small overal sanding job then tomorrow i have to really fill all the seems with plastic for strenght and then sand and bondo that cab

thnx well turned outi was too soon with the narrowing of the cab ... thats because last time i kinda had it easy and was able to line up all the panellines without having to cut the body to pieces , so now i didnt realize the chop ment ... well no issue i just cut it all up and put it back togeher woth lined up panellines now its filling the gaps wih plastic and flattening everything again first installed the partially build engine for mock up while channeling and proportioning the cabine weird looking cab with the massively hogh roof then chopped the roof off cut the body in half since that was too long also and well i did the body because the doors looked too long now could manage woth 5 separate parts and could do it without cutting the firewall in half again roughly put together

went on with the cab , rebuild the original firewall into something new put it in far back a bit slanted and worked in into the body it now looks silly due to the roof but that will be fixed rough flattening (looks like filelr inside the seems but thats not really so 90% of the seems are toutching and glued)

hi all well posted it here because its not really clear what its going to be , yes the base is a pick up but i feel its more at home in this section since everything is possible so , this is my new project based on a a '53 ford pick up kit from amt i got this kit for free from a guy on a lowbudget chopperbuild forum i'm on , i posted my models there and he had this lying at home for years the boxart de content spread out my latest rods have been 1/24 and becuase i chopped and channeled them they look quite small . now a 53 ford pick up is already way larger in real life then older fords so that got me thinking ..... i decided to use the kit to make it into a fantasy hotrod first started to look at the shapes and getting idea's flowing then i decided to drasticly narrow the body , the roof will also be chopped but first i narrowed it now it kinda looks silly in proportion lol:) its now almost as wide as my ford roadster (1929) after some chopping and glue then sanded the seems and put some polyester filler on and in the seems , that gets rockhard after a first flattening already put in a chopped firewall for extra stability when chopping the roof , thats now braced and drying next up i recon is the top chop

thnx well i wont be doing a all rust body anymore , in the end it would have looked nicer if it was like rust coming true worn paint .. but i had a ton of fun and well i did a full rust body now so thats that it was also supposed to look like a on purpose rusted body instead of due to time and ....

i finished this build > thnx for watching http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=65304

hi , i finished my roadster pick-up today this build was a rebuild , this was the first ever plastic kit i build and after a while i decided to rebuild it into something different and use it to try out some weathering on a model boxart > what i made of it a while back (first even plastic kit) and the finished product shot some pics outside > grts richard

cool thats the exact same kit is my guess everything looks exactly the same .. and yes go for it its really so much fun to really redo a already build kit

hmm is there no way to shave of a small part of the engine and make it more narrow then ? i mean everything is already so custom so why not change the engine slightly to fit ? or you could make some kind of buldge on the side hood part so the engine fits like it is now but its still closed on the side , not the best option imo.. i think making the engine a tad more narrow is the best option because imo the car is soo smooth you dnt really need a engine sticking out the side or some sort of buldge that kills the smooth lines .. just thinking

that blue is awsome , love to see that shot in some daylight outside or sunshine

awsome looking sharp !!!!!!!

thats one awsome build really gonna follow this one , awsome job !

awsome result looks great !

so cool loving it !!!!!!!

cool to see you build it up from several kits and parts !!!

hmm that is way cool , ferrari hotrod i would def. keep that going curious on the progress

ooh very cool build , love the detail you are putting in for my taste it could be raised a bit / sit higher

installed the headers , i will ad mufflers to these wich run along the front side of the cab also put a radiator cap with wings on the radiator , i liked it as a added details with all the goodies its now coming to life a bit :mrteeth: back in the bed i will be doing some nice details also

cleaned up some stuff today and made the spark plug wires red .. some better daylight pics some close ups
