I was thinking the toyota hilux kits from Aoshima but that would be a straight grille, not Veed. Im trying to think of the other kits with a phantom grille. only other one that would have a V'd grille is the Revell S10 lowrider IF it came with one

the phantom grille looks like a S10 grille and surround. I believe it was a monogram kit

I've been searching ebay etc for the wheels/tires, I also recently put a want ad up. I'll get a set eventually. and maybe then I'll actually cast them myself (or try anyways haha)

I think RRR, you and Dennis all sent it to me at some point during my hunt haha. I just have to do it. Ive told myself no more buying complete kits for only a few parts. I agree on the frame horns. It was one of the first things that came off when I was building professionally Ive always liked Quarter elliptical spring set ups a well!

LOOKS AWESOME!!!! I NEED about 10 sets of those rear wheels and tires!!!

it's a combination I'd love to build on real life

exactly

the frame is from the revell 29 roadster and I had to cut the inner wall of the fenders out. I havent been able to get back to it yet honestly to finish it

LOOKS AWESOME!

I see what you did there haha

This kit is one of my favorites. You dont need anything extra to make a good looking kit out of it if you dont want to.

completely forgot the Canadian cars were Chevy powered

Always thought those were pretty cars!!! what about putting a 421 in it?

Dennis sent me over some wheels and tires for the Vicky. Just need to lock in the engine. Most likely a FE Ford and a 4 or 5 speed

Dennis Lacy sent me some wheels and tires for my Vicky. Now I just need to lock in the engine. I'm thinking FE Ford, and a 4 or 5 speed

it is an awesome combination.

I have an old survivor of this kit that has a hemi and drag slicks on it. The builder removed the front spring to get it sitting right. I keep saying Im gonna build my version of it and its not far off what you did with yours to be honest!

Cant go wrong with that combo! The track nose looks so much better with the pie cut!

Im ok with Monster tachs...Stock tachs were garbage, no one ever used them haha

I always hated seeing 2 tachs in a mustang haha build looks awesome as usual!!!

now that you show the front end, boy did they drop the ball there. the rear is awesome

I have the Mr Speed version of this kit and ALWAYS forget that it has the stock and mild stuff in it. The wheels and hubcaps were very commonly used on customs and street cars, and more than a few Stude motors ended up in hot rods.

blown 392 hemi out of a 1320 diecast, a pair of revell willys rear slicks and wheels, an uncut 32 3 window and a pair of Drag City Casting halibrand front wheels on AMT Firestones. throw in some parts box "ladder bars" and its shaping up to become a pretty wicked nose up axle car... the chopped 3 window is a Drag City Casting body, the rest is Revell 3 window with Revell thunderbolt rear wheels and slicks. the front are my mock up slingster wheels and tires. It always amazes me how 2 cars from the same era with similar parts can have 2 different looks

Thanks Bill! Im heading over there now. Im thinking of grabbing one for a parts kit, since I plan to build a Bobber pick up.

has anyone built the "street rod" 37/38 pick up?
