Super build! Exhaust system looks great- not much restriction- properly noisy hot rod exhaust!

Super build- can't wait to see the engine installed!

Looking forward to more!

Here's a mock up of a 1937 Ford tow truck with an art deco style boom sketch and military style tires and wheels. The bed sides are from the parts stash and will be modified as the design is refined.

I love the entire project! Very well done!

Beautiful model!

Really nice job= I built one years ago and added flares. Headlights are from AMT Avanti.

Your great project has inspired me to gather parts and materials for a similar build using a 37 Ford pickup and military tires- this may end up as part of my Blue Ox Salvage collection.

I have heard nothing to indicate if the tooling exists for any of the revivals.

Thanks to everyone!

Just love it! Almost seems a shame to paint it! This thread will become a reference page for some projects of my own- many thanks for sharing!

NICE weathering! That car has seen USE!

1937 Ford panel truck, dual rear tires.

Great job, especially eliminating the seam on the two piece body!

Thanks, all- really enjoyed this build!

Thanks, David, glad you like it!

The bike in the background is a second stock Maisto knucklehead for contrast. The engine is a 1950 flathead and transmission from the 1950 Pickup with some additional hotrod parts for extra gow power.

Gotta have a cool hauler for your Harley Davidson knucklehead bobber T.R.O.G. race bike!

Ace, thanks for sharing your depth of knowledge of real cars and parts, and your photos of them are an invaluable resource!

Thanks, Dan! The truck got photographed at the Buckeye meet.

Got the truck and the bike done! Pix! Might try running cables for brakes and throttle on the bike, but that will need a little more ambition! An unaltered Maisto knucklehead in the background for contrast.

David, thanks!

Thank you everyone for your encouragement and support! In case you haven't seen my boat completed, here is a pic (doesn't help back pages aren't accessible).

Thanks, Al! This is the first motorcycle model I have ever worked on, so lots of new territory!

Got the truck on the frame and additional detailing done- windshield is posed as though cranked out- only need to add the water hoses and its done. The bobber has had weathering done to the engine and wheels and the grooves in the gas tank where the shifter was mounted have been filled, then painted. Working on the shift gate- very fiddly, and the first attempt broke, so will try again with thicker stock. Here are some pix, Harley behind the truck is for reconstruction reference, with more coming as I get more done!
