But a W-300 is a 1-ton truck like I asked. Right?
-
Isn't a W-300 a 1 ton truck?
-
Very cool!! I just picked this one up myself!
-
Seems a little dramatic to me...
-
What about a short box 1/2 ton? Or even a long box 1/2 ton?

John, I'm going to use it but I'm going to have to go through quite a bit to do so. Admittedly, I really like it. But it doesn't fit worth a darn. And it's really glued down! Lol.
So, I'm going to have to carefully grind it off using my dremel. Then I'll use the one from the newer kit but I'll work it over so that it snugs down nice and tight. I will be painting the whole roof white and on the Klingon, I'll paint the center section a gloss white and the upholstered part will be done in a flat white.
Although, another idea I have is to just use the center section and graft it onto the roof, leaving out the upholstered wings. Mmmmmm....

This was the result. Check out the side view! The curvature of the T-bird hood to Ranchero hood couldn't have been any more perfect! I love it when a plan comes together!!

I had an idea so I picked up this kit...
Because amongst a couple of other things, I needed this...
So that I could do this...
-
That's fantastic!!
-
I am currently trying to find one of these so if there are any of you out there that have an extra one kicking around...
-
Love it!

Thank you Chris!
Here the link: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/90498-bartoletti-transporter-and-the-daytonas-coupe-last-update-528/Actually, here's what you're looking for. That link just brings you back here.
And I agree, this whole thing is just nuts! Outstanding job my friend!!

Thank you fellas!!

So I had already rounded up this guy because I needed glass and the tonneau cover. After looking at the supplied interior, it appears to already be tucked and rolled! Plus, it will require zero modification so the decision was easy for me!
-
After cleaning up the interior, I got excited and I had every intention of using it. However, it just did not fit.
-
I'll be darned! There was a T-bird interior under all of that!
-
I'm not changing the color. I'm painting it the color that the original builder had intended.
-
Thank you Joe!

I'm looking forward to watching this!

Thank you Ron!!

Thank you!

Then I started playing around with headlight treatments. I think I've settled on these units from a '59 Chevy. It will have a tube grille in between them.

Last night I got the sides all smoothed out. No more door handles, door locks, scripts, or fuel cap.

Well, this is what I came up with. I think it cleans it up quite nicely.
I was able to remove the custom top from the roof by working it very carefully as to not to do any damage to the roof itself. It will require some filler to fix the pitting caused by the glue that was used but it went pretty good.
I removed the upholstered panels from the rear-facing scoop and I will end up just attaching the scoop as seen by itself.
