Hello, New to the forum, been building a few trucks and figured i'd post one of them. I have many ongoing projects and not many completed as of yet but im working on it. I like all sorts of customs from mild to wild and plan to build a lot of them, but now onto my current build.
I started off with a 1/25 amt round 2 1950 3100 Chevy Pickup
I was origionaly going to lower it with leaf springs and drop axle like i am doing to a 1950 ford F1 custom. But i did'nt like the ride height and had a left over IFS a arms from a old hot rod project and the rims and rear axle from the custom F1 along with some other parts box pieces i made a frame draggin air bagged custom '50 chevy pick up. These are just mock up pics for general fitment of body to chasis, i am pretty happy with the work so far and plan to finish this project soon.
Drive train is going to consist of either a SB 383 stroker or a BB 454 both manual, rear c notch is going to be completed with some tube work and air bags with tank and pumps in the box but i have no idea on what to do with it yet.
Body is going to be smothed out, no trim, door hadles, mouldings. Fire wall and engine compartment are going to be smoothed out and not 100% sure on what color to paint it. I'm thinking a silver metalic or dark cherry red metalic, nothing to outrages just a solid color as im not to good with painting bodys yet, soon to get an air brush setup.
Interior is going to be smothed out and might throw in some buckets and a console with sub and speakers.
Here is some mock up pics, let me know what u think. I am going to keep my progress edited in my first post to keep it all together. Going to update as much as possible as i have so many projects i bounce around to and from.
Here is the frame in its early stages.
Here is the interior in first mock up/ design stage.
Here is a engine mock up, still early not sure if i want inner fenders or not?
.
Here is a few as a whole mock up, i used a sheet of paper to simulate the tonneu cover but needs some more work b4 ill be happy with it
