Thought about putting this in the truck section but since it is mostly car with just a truck body thought it would be ok here. Wanting to build a model that resembles a pic of something I saw here not long ago. Starting with the 'lil Coffin" for the chassis and drive train. The Hasegawa kit will supply the body and at least some of the interior. The body will need to be shortened and you can see by the blue tape how much will be cut out of it. Won't be an exact copy but this is the look I am going for. Not everybody's cup of tea I know but there is something about it I just think is cool.

That's pretty cool!! B) I think I saw something similar in a "Car-toons" magazine once. I like it!! :D

Ok, I got to cuttin'. Can't go back now. Will be more cutting up front but will have to wait till I mock up the chassis and engine.

Not a bunch of progress but I did manage to get the side walls cut to size. Mine won't be quite as short and the car I am using as a guide.

Got the body in primer today. Still more to do until paint. I also cut a piece of Bass wood that will be stained and placed in the bed. The fact that the wood will cover up the cut that is in the bed has no bearing on why I am doing the wood. You say you don't believe that ? You got me. That is 100 % why I am doing it. : )

Ray, I love the bizarre and off the wall stuff. This is gonna' rock.

I had a visual of you sanding between and over those ribs. You were not smiling. Now you are and so am I. Good call.

Thanks. No way was I going to try and get that ribbing right. On second thought maybe it would not be that hard as they do provide strips that fit in the channels. I would just need to get the tops smooth. Still, not going to do it.
