Good use of a toy to make a model of a unavailable subject ! Over the years I have seen several scratch built refuse haulers/collectors.
This fits right in It looks good to me!

Possibly?
But the fuel was much cheaper, quieter, and the emissions ............................... bio degradable!! Though at times it could be rather unpleasant if you were downwind of a large pile! lol

Terry, I like your mods to the hood. Looks real good. And I also agree that that kind of detail can become overwhelming. But I will try to do open like you did. What thickness plastic did you use? Be Well Gator
Ron, This looks to be a worthy project ! I will be following the build with great interest. As for the wheelbase. I would think it would be on the shorter side. Given the time when the rig was built and on the road. Be Well Gator
Really a cool vehicle ! But Corvair had a problem with oil leaks like Detroits. And at the time there might have been a issues with the articulated steering? Just guessing on that.. And it looks like maybe they wanted to target the military market first. Anyway it is an interesting concept. Be Well Gator
Looks like a fun build to me ! Though maybe not all that practical ?? Still possible???? Yes in plastic. So I say go for it in a big way! Be Well Gator
