55' Ford pick up/Nascar kit bash

[CancinoEvil]

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.

Looks great! I'd love to see some engine\chassis pictures.

[GTJUNIOR]

Now we're cooking! That is a truck I would like to own. Would have a blast driving that around. Looks fantastic. 

[CFMgarage]

That's pretty awesome! I'd love to see suspension and engine pics myself.

[CancinoEvil]

Thanks everyone, I'll add a few more pictures of the chassis and motor, I have to dig through some files first. Heres a w.i p. Shot for now.

A good what if ... project.  This is what modelling is all about.

[bbowser]

I like it except for the "Pontiac" on the hood !

[Harry P.]

Ok, pardon my complete lack of knowledge of NASCAR... but I assume this is a "what if" sort of model?

Very cool.

Man, talk about a brick ! nice job.

in hindsight yea but since it did get the motor swap l figured what the heck.  Besides im a Chevy guy anyway lol

[CancinoEvil]

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.

Great build. Love to see someone thinking out side the box and creating something that one of a kind.
