CancinoEvil Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) I had a great time with this truck, it is a bit rough compared to a lot of what I see here but non the less I wanted to share this. I swaped the drive train and most of the suspention also. Plummed and wired the motor. The bed was fitted with the fuel cell along with the filler tube a battery and then covered with a custom bed cover and support bars tied into the roll cage. The drivers compartment has added nascar safety equipment, once i'd gotten that far I figured why not decal it in the full MGD theme. All I really wanted to do was swap the NASCAR wheels on it and be done... Yeah right. I had a blast and it came out half decent.

Harry P. Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Ok, pardon my complete lack of knowledge of NASCAR... but I assume this is a "what if" sort of model? Very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CancinoEvil Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 I like it except for the "Pontiac" on the hood ! in hindsight yea but since it did get the motor swap l figured what the heck. Besides im a Chevy guy anyway lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CancinoEvil Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Yes this is a very "what if" model built by pure imagination. Heres a chassis shot and also the dash board before install. I added a few things to motor such as a hard fuel line, fuel pump, radiator hoses, overflow tank and distributor along with a dash mounted ignition box, all scratch. The oil filter relocater and oil cooler were supplied but I plummed them to make it right. The stance was lowered, wheel base legnthened along with the drive shaft. The exaust was made in a nascar style to finish it off. Look out for more builds by Cancinoevil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
