This was my last project, a 41 Chevy rat truck. The chassis is one I have had around 30 years, and I think it's from an old MPC Datsun pick-up, but not sure. The grill is resin and modified. The pick-up bed is scratch built from real wood. The wheels are old Herb Deeks pewter wheels. The air bags were made from carved chemiwood, turned aluminium and heat shrink tubing. I used the salt technique for the weathering.

Nice job. Great mix of parts and scratchbuilding. I've got an old 41 chopped cab that I've been thinking of a similar project somewhere down the line.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone, I very much appreciate them. Chemiwood is also known as Renshape and it's great stuff to model with.
