sdrodder Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 very very cool. Would u like to build mine Gots a question though in the background looks like a 59 chevy truck. Right??? Now would ya happen to have pics of that and its componenets as in grill emblem ect. The reason i ask is i want to get that cab too from modelhaus but they aint got pics. Would be great if ya could post some. Well back to the kustom. Sweet build. Clean work toooo. Love the section and the idea of those fenders. Wouldnt have thought of that myself. So what in it for color,motor, interior
evilone Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 LOWER the cab has to hit the floor J/K it looks sweet herm now i have an idea
Tom Jackson Posted September 1, 2008 Author Posted September 1, 2008 Florian i'll get pics up of the 58 cab for you later. the finished ride hight will be a tad higher but not much . as for a color not sure yet . The motor will be a 421 Pontiac from the catalina kit .the bench seat is the back seat from the 57 300c kit .
Tom Jackson Posted September 1, 2008 Author Posted September 1, 2008 i cant find the hood badge i looked everwhere . but i hope this helps
