Look for brushless motors or fans as they don't make sparks. Dave

Thanks atomicholiday! Dave

Nice color! The truck is looking great! Its my favorite year Chevy truck, the grill is a work of art. Dave

Thanks Slusher and Zippi! I appreciate your comments. Dave

Thanks T-Ray for your suggestions. I will look to see if I can fit the VW fenders on the rear. Dave

Thanks TransAmMike! Dave

I was looking thru all my old model parts and saw that this VW bug had the same roof curve as the 1940 Ford delivery, so I decided to see what I could do with them. I cut the rear off the bug and the rear off the Ford. The Ford back was a bit wider than the VW, so I cut a vee in the van roof and added bracing to fit the bug. They fit now with some body work. I'm not sure about the shot with those fenders. I will have to comb thru all my fenders and see if something fits better. The Ford fenders were too long and looked out of proportion. Probably a set of Cragars will look good. Haven't thought about power train and color yet. More to come! Thanks for looking and I hope you like it. Dave

Nice work! I love the color and the wheels! Dave

Looking good! Never saw a Vette low rider. Dave

Beautiful truck! I like the two tone paint! Dave

I originally built this about 12 years or so ago but never liked the color or decals so I repainted it and added brass highlights. It was a Tom Daniels 1912 Paddy Wagon that I cut off the van rear and added a scratch built magazine and coffee kiosk. I shrunk down pics of magazines that were in my interest. The newspapers are random from different eras. The coffee urn is a 1/2" copper pipe. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it. Dave Here is what I originally built: Here is the new version:

Sorry please see it in the Under Glass thread. Dave

After several delays and a couple home projects I finally finished this build. I was looking for a slight Porsche look for the front. I used a Lamborghini dash and console. For the engine I used a Corvette ZR-1 LT5 V8 I also see I should have been more thorough painting the grill. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.

Nice! I really like the 1936 Ford looks and headlights. Dave
