This is a Resin Model Ranch product. I call it THE E-LIMO-NATOR. I used an AMT 1940 Ford Coupe as my donor kit. The paint is a Rust-Oleum Gloss Hunter Green. The wheels are Z Force Model Works artillery wheels with whitewall tires that I purchased from Iceman Collections. The center caps on the wheels are painted with Molotow Liquid Chrome and the rest of the wheels and tires are painted with acrylic craft paint. The engine is also purchased from Iceman Collections and is a Modern Ford 429 Big Block with ITB stacks and painted Black with Metallic Bronze accents. The body has been lowered a little and I had to modify the suspension to get it to go lower. The interior is an acrylic craft paint color called Teddy Bear Tan. The dashboard, steering wheel and column are painted the same color as the body. The carpet is some tan craft felt I got from Hobby Lobby. The windshield and the rear windows are made from scratch plastic sheets I got from a diecast car box. The running boards are painted Flat Black. The bumpers are removed to give it a street rod look. The luggage on the roof came with the resin model except for the Dark Red briefcase and the guitar case. The guitar case opens up and has a removable acoustic guitar inside. The donor kit fit very nicely on this resin model. The parts I used from the donor kit include the grill, headlights and headlight surrounds, taillights, trunk handle, radiator, front and rear suspension, front seat, dashboard, steering wheel, and steering column. The driveshaft I had to extend with a piece of a styrene rod. This is one of my best paint jobs on a resin body.

I built it to look like your average small town Iowa countryside deer hunting truck. I painted everything with a paint brush. The paint color is an Acrylic craft paint FolkArt Metallic Sheen Burgundy. The dirty look is done with a light brown acrylic craft paint and a dry brush patting technique. The bed is painted in a Flat Black to resemble a bed liner. The interior is painted in a Glossy Grey color to look like a vinyl interior. I even brought the dirty look to the interior as well as the engine. The seatbelt buckles are 3D printed along with the hunting binoculars and the hunting rifle. The seatbelt material is so grey ribbon I got from Hobby Lobby. The carpet is some grey craft felt that I dirtied up with the light brown paint. The engine bay details were all painted by hand and were all molded in. All the chrome was dirtied up the same way as the body. I wanted this truck to look like it's in good shape and just needs a car wash. It's a box stock build.
