kyleaustin81 replied to kyleaustin81's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Yes I'm quite well as I work in retail its been a challenge and quite exhausting. I havent quite figured this thing out still yet. As we modelers cant build one at a time lol -

It'll fit CT ... I'll make it fit ? plus im not using the stock kit exhaust system on this thing either haha -
I had this built but now i took it apart and going a different direction with it. A used well beer delivery Hot rod. I'm in the grocery buisness and have been for 20 plus years and around here our beer distributors had some different vehicles that they used from time to time like the mohawk shock top van and other various things so why not a patina hot rod haha just trying to be creative here. Also a big thank you to mr Claude T. Helping me rebuild this one ?

So I broke out the step again after making a few changes. I wanted a big block in it but no matter how i went i couldnt make it fit ... Anyways... It'll get a small block just have a contest coming up soon and wanted to finish this one. I pulled a small block out of the 69 Camaro and itll work great but want to do something kinda pro tourish with it like a mild tpi with some wild injection i have a tpi to use just looking for thoughts here ... Wheels and rotors are from a 2017 zl1 camaro. I also still have the LS out of that as well but the tranny is just too tall unless i cut the interior and channel it out and i don't have that much time to get that right. Comments and suggestions are appreciated. Also used a NASCAR gen 6 front end.

So just a little somethin I threw together. Used the engine out of an extra foose pickup and slightly weathered. I feel like this is one of my best builds.

Hot Rod snow plow
kyleaustin81 replied to kyleaustin81's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
The bed that those kits come with are awful indeed not square and i dont have the time or patience to deal with it so. Moving on I have an extra step side chevy bed that will do the trick ? ? it looks pretty cool imo honestly changes the whole look of it. -

I actually thought about scratching a hopper for it. A small one at that -
Hot Rod snow plow

Oh ps its still getting the plow also. ? -
So today i picked up one of the GMC snow plows with full intent on hot rodding ya know lowering bigger wheels bigger engine. I tried a foose chassis leftover and it works great however ill either have to shorten the bed or find a way to elongate the rear suspension. I have cut the bed fender wells already to rough specs and will finish later but any ideas would be great at this point.
