doomcrew Posted November 22, 2015 Share 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 Share 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- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
