doomcrew Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 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.

Modlbldr Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 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.Later-

slusher Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Man what a cool and unique build. Impressive work..
Chuck Most Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Sick and twisted... in all the right ways. I wouldn't change a thing about it.
doomcrew Posted November 25, 2015 Author Posted November 25, 2015 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.
