    Just a quick 4 day build from an ecto1 kit. I filled the rear windows & rotted it out. One more for the junkyard.

    Very cool project! I'll be watching for sure!

    Thanks everyone! A few more pics of it at work. Just pulled this old hearse into the garage to work on.

    The bus might not be what you mean but I did a little on the interior. The slide in is scratch built & empty, no detail, but it was done probably 15-20 years ago.

    Thanks guys, I tried to get a pic of the pto, 4 speed & other stuff but I just can't seem to get a good shot.

    Thanks, no resin here. It was an ebay glue bomb that someone tried to stretch. After removing the paint & seeing what a mess it was, it was easier to cut it off & start fresh with another cab.

    Well here it is, finally done. I used 2 cabs & interiors & lots of evergreen styrene. Everything behind the cab is scratch built along with lots of other stuff. Thanks for looking!

    Thanks guys! I made some running boards, found some tools & a few other things so I think it's finished! I'll get some more pics posted underglass after work.

    What a piece of junk. It's perfect! Nice job.

    Slow but steady. Made the bumper, tow dolly parts, lights & sling. Still more to come...

    My wife found this & thought it would work in my garage diorama. She's right (of course) it's the right size & even works. She picked it up at Toys r Us.

    I'm lovin this truck! Your weathering is top notch stuff. To me, the roof is crazy cool, it looks like the weather made it look that way. Very, Very real looking work.

    I'm pretty sure that if it had a shifting lever it either had a 2 speed rear, or an aftermarket trans like a Warford. My fathers old 25 TT had a 2 speed Ruckstell rear, Warford trans, Rocky Mountain brakes and a Waukesha head. They made lots of accessories for the Model T but if it doesn't have Ford script on the part it didn't come with it.

    I'm going to finish this thing! I'm tired of looking at it! I've been working on it so it wont be long now.

    Spot on old work truck! Great weathering, it looks so real!

    Thanks Carl. It's nothing fancy, mostly dremel work from the inside, slow & easy. I use "Sophisticated Finishes" paint & then weathering powders, chalks & dullcote paint to seal it. Thanks Bruce. The tires are done the old fashion way, with a candle. I heat it a little at a time pressing it on the table just as it begins to blister. Lots O' patience & practice.

    Thanks, those are "Scenes unlimited" parts, very nice stuff they got there.

    I really like how this looks! The colors & Hemi decals are perfect! I wanted to get one of these kits & try something I saw at a local car show but it will take some work. Maybe one day...

    This was one of those "AMT PROSHOP" pre-painted models. I thought I would do a quick build for once but nooooo. After looking through everything I noticed the interior had 2 passenger side door panels instead of a left & right. So I built it with the inner door skin look & it went down hill from there for her. Lots of rust & rot, perfect for the junkyard.

    ALL THE ABOVE X2!!! WOW!!!

    Great start, I like it! I think if you shorten it you'll be in for a lot of work. If you take 1 window width out of the middle, then the rear will look like it has too much overhang. Then you might have to move the wheel wells back a little to make it look right. That's a lot of cutting, not to mention moving the door from one side to the other. Either way, it looks great & good luck, I'll be watching.

    This is sweet! If I was going to do this one I would use the "S'cool bus" body. I think it's a better look & probably a little less work.
