IH 4070A box art build
Tommy Isbister replied to Ben's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Super detailed! This is definitely one of the nicest cab over builds out there. All you need now is a matching trailer to put it over the top. -

Heavy equipment is my favorite of all with rusty junkers being a close second. I've been in the heavy equipment industry for over twenty years as an operator and owner. -
Super clean build on a classic favorite. I can almost hear that bee rumbling now!

yes it is and looks like a big one. I wouldn't advise kicking the fender if you know what I mean.

This one started as an American Graffiti 55. I added rear slicks and a big block Ford full race engine to power the beast.

I don't know what struck me to come up with this one. I just like shaking the parts box sometimes to see what comes out and here it is. I just like to build off the wall so to speak.

I used the complete AMT 58 Impala kit including the chassis. Cage, wheels and tires are from an old Bill Elliott #9 Thunderbird kit and it fits perfect. Engine is the original 409 that came with the Impala. These Impala's come from the factory pre scored on the inside of the rear wheel quarters so trimming the wheel wells out are a breeze. The only other heavy mod is trimming the cage in the rear and on the front corners underneath the windshield pillars. I spent more time with the paint, decals and chrome than anything else. Decals are from Slixx.

Im in Northeast Georgia. I built this one to look just like the truck my cousin runs on these moutain road's. I should've took a picture of this truck when I first got it. It was just an old cab and chassis and I literally poured it out of two boxes onto my work bench.
