Love it!

Very nice. The body and paint looks almost too good to be a work truck (not a bad thing ?).

Looks like a cool project

Cool concept-love the colour!

I'll be watching this one. Looks like a cool project

Thanks Bruce-they are made by Competition Resin. It's a '50's NASCAR type wheel. They fit perfectly into the optional wheels that come with the AMT '40 Ford Coupe. I love the look.

Thought so - excellent stuff to work with. Keep up the good work. This build makes me miss my red '99 Si. Wasn't a race car by any means, but it was just plain fun to rip through the gears on the back roads.

Looks very good - did you use kit stock decal for the CF, or is it aftermarket?

Thanks! Most of the decals were from the Revell kit, some are left over decals from other kits.

Thanks again for the positive feedback. I hadn’t covered the wood in detail in the build, so I’ll quickly sum up what I did. First, I brushed on Testors Enamel Wood on the wood frame over the black primer. Made sure to leave brush stokes and some of the primer showing to help create the missing wood grain effect. Next I created my own “wash” by diluting some Tan Acrylic with water. Then I air brushed white Acrylic over that. We used to have an old garage made from reclaimed Cedar planks. As the Cedar aged naturally, it turned from a red to black and grey. That’s what I tried here with the panels/inserts. After the kit decals were applied, I again used the air brush with Acrylic black to shade in the panels. Next, I used my trusty black wash on all of the wood. Things went too dark for my liking, so I used a damp paper towel to remove the excess wash to bring back some of the color. I’m sure that there are different ways of achieving this effect, but this was my first time and I got the results that I was hoping for.

I love it-this really looks great!

Thanks everyone. Had fun with this one. Surprised at how popular the dash is lol.

All done..

Some interior pics before assembly...

My take on the Jimmy Flintstone Woody I custom made the drop spindles and lowering blocks to get the right “stance” Some parts were added from my parts bin, but otherwise it is a kit stock chassis

All done..

I agree-a taller tire is just what those wheels need to look at home in that chassis.

Very cool ?

Cool kit bashing. Really like the colour so far. Keep up the good work

Thanks Joe! Not sure that I’m worthy of such kind words, but I’ll graciously accept the compliment

That interior looks great! Very impressive transformation – complete 180

Started final assembly on the Battlewagon. Not done yet, but getting closer…..

A few more pics….

Haven’t touched this build in awhile - the family and I have been battling a nasty bug the past week. Final assembly has begun – still some detail work to be finished still. Now we’re into the final stretch….

That's a beauty
