This is the AMT 25  T Fruitwagon kit

Body, brakes, and rear axle are Duplicolor GM  Cayenne Red Metallic. Frame is Tamiya Gunmetal, interior is Duplicolor Toyota White Pearl with gold flocking, engine is Duplicolor Nissan Orange Mist Metallic. Used Testors Wet Look Clear on the body. 

Model is box stock. I added fuel line, disc behind the wheels for drums,  radiator hose, changed the radiator cap,  generator bracket, plug wires, flocking, engine turned vinyl to the floor and dash. Also used gold Washi tape on the dash. The ball's in the velocity stacks are BBs out of pellets for a .177cal pellet gun. 

The cowl was mismolded and twisted. I straightened it out and molded in the firewall. There are two things I wish I done differently. One use chrome marker for the windshield frame instead of copper paint, and two not use the metal axle for the front.

Very nicely done Jason , the Fruit Wagon kit really does build into a nice T Bucket !  Great job dealing with the twisted cowl , that can be a real bummer . :)

Very nice! Where did you get the engine-turned vinyl? 

Got it on Ebay a couple years back. It was in a roll like tape.
