Sixties Sam Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) I just finished this mostly scratch built cabover car hauler. It's a simple curbside model, with no engine or chassis detail. The cab is a Flintstone resin unit, and the wheels are from a Moebius big rig wheels pack. Frame rails are balsa, and the bed is sheet styrene. Ramps are styrene sheet & channel and wire mesh. Rear fenders are made from the lid of a Testors spray paint can. Headlights are ancient 39 Ford lights from the parts boxes, which also supplied the VW parking lights and mirrors. Seat, dash, and steering wheel are parts box finds, too. I had some trouble with the Krylon paint wrinkling, and had to redo it. It's still not very good, but It will have to do. I need to add a license plate, and maybe some decals. This was a fun project! Comments welcome! Loading up a 62 Dart. Going to the races! Edited December 9, 2015 by Sixties Sam
Greg K Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 looks great Sam. can you tell me what scale that is? btw, those rear fenders you made from paint caps look perfect.
wayne swayze Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 I like it! Nice job on the bed and the headlights are great! I also like the Dart!

RustedBronco Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 That's a kool hauler!! Great looking truck.
slusher Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Fantastic car hauler Sam. Some great work...
DumpyDan Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 I love the two tone paint, the truck is very cool
kilrathy10 Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) That is beautiful work....I love that bed....It looks so smooth....The paintwork, that is.....Not to overshadow the fine work on the the truck, itself....Very nice.....And I can't say I'm upset that it's just a curbside model, either.....It looks awesome.....I'll bet you could even play with it....
