If only Charles Ingals had this wagon to go to town....would of saved him tons of time I started with the chassis of the 32 Ford Pheaton, grill of a 29 ford, wheels off the 39 wagon rod kit, custom built the exhaust, and scratchbuilt the rest. I used balsa wood for the body, piano wire and an old T-shirt for the cloth. Once the body and canopy was together...I clear coated the whole thing in one piece. The clearcoat made the cotton shrink a bit and harden......this was strictly a fun relaxing build.

Excellent job on the truck...the paint, BMF and engine detail is super....I hope I can be honest about one thing.....the only thing that im not too keen on is the size of the wheels....a bit smaller wheels dia may have been better but again this is only my opinion. Congrats on a build well done ......2 Thumbs up

Hey Friend, Thanks for the great comments....really appreciated coming from another great builder...I took a look at some of your rides...and they are off the hook. NIce camaro, Shelby, led sled, lowrider and so on....... I have to admit one thing .... this site rocks when it comes to quality building....and Im just glad to fit in. Thanks again AJulia. Bear

Here is the first Prototype setup. And here is the final setup I wanted for my car. Hope you guys like Bear

Yep.....not a whole lot but I do stuff that I cant find when I build custom stuff

At the same time....Ive been working on making the prototype of the 572 Hemi to get it to the way I want ....been spending time on the fabricating and moulding and casting the parts.

HEY B!!!!!!!! waaaaassssssuuuuuppppp!!!!!!! my friend. nice to see you here

Here is the color laid on the car.....its a 2003 Lambourghini Alta tangerine pearl orange 3 stage paint with a little bit of sunset russet pearl for the top half and the bottom half i added a deep russet pearl to give it a slightly darker tint of orange. Hope you like

YO!! Nick, my Brutha from anutha mutha......how the heck are you.....welcome to MCM....I have been here not too long either and let me tell ya.....mucho great and richous builds here. As for the people....you have been gracefully welcomed by some of the funiest ( sorry I mean finest) members here....great bunch to be with. Start postin Bro.....we'ze all wanna see. Bear

Nice build.....simple....but I guess when you go 140mph in a straight line.....thats all it needs....Great motor and a good set of rubber to glue it to the ground

Nice stock lookin truck.....represents the era really well....right down to the paint finish Nice Job

Thanks for the comments guys and thank you George for the kind welcome to this site.

Thaks for the comments guys and I as well am curious about this harassment story. And George53....you're forgivin

Unfortunately I dont have ....but i used .080 thick styrene plastic and shaved and shaped it to what I was looking for. At that thickness I didnt have to worry about sagging and distortion while I was working the plastic. Hope this helps.

Nice builds......that 29 roadster can fit in both hotrod and ratrod class....very nice

Here is the partner to the OverHaulin' Challenger. I had this kit in my stash for about 6 years and never had any interest in building it cause I couldnt come up with anything in plans that would of worked out......Until the first episode of ....You guessed it OverHaulin' with Foose at the design center.....no sooner the show was done....the model was being built.

Nice concept.....the olny time I have seen Caddy Wagons....they were built for the dead......I like what you have done to the car....it will look sharp when done Bear

Actually it is the very similar MOPAR engine that they put in the a real CUDA....it the Indy 572 Hemi that was introduced in this G=Force Cuda......this car is just sick....in the best way possible http://www.g-forcecuda.com/ I have similar plans for my build.

Man....Mr 1/16th.....that is one richous looking truck. The suspension to the paint scheme that follows into the inside is absolutely off the hook. How long did it take you to build your truck? Its just AWSOM!!!!!

a few more pics.........Roll cage is done .....completely scratchbuilt to fit thanks for lookin'

I love it....... the stance to the color and detail of the continental kit...WICKED BUILD

Nice smooooooooooooth paint job......very subtle and classy

thanks for the great feedback.

This is a project that I was inspired by Chip Foose when he built the real car on the OverHaulin show a few years back thanks 4 lookin'

I do occasionally sell.... I have lots of parts that I have casted for custom trucks and cars including complete motors....at this present time my hobby shop in the basement is closed down for basement developement and everything related to model car building is packed...You can see what I have so far at this link: http://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e343/Rad...0Engine%20pics/ http://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e343/Rad...0order%20parts/ http://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e343/Rad...oject%20Tremor/ http://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e343/Rad...ByDan/OverRide/
