PatW Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The brother of the Orange Hauler, shown last week. The grey shell came in the box with the other one, but with no bits to build into it, so to the spares boxes! I scratchbuilt the interior tub and added the seats, steering, gear changer and rear view mirror. The added the twin filler caps, windscreen, some sort of chassis and Pegasus Centrelines small out front and large out back and side exhaust. Found the rear fencing and cut it down to fit, and found a bag of moss for the garden work rubbish. And chilling with brother in the cabinet...

Koellefornia Kid Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I never liked the Orange Hauler very much, but what you did here looks very cool! The wheels are a perfect fit and I love your scratch built seats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olschoolkid Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Vey cool. I didn't realize this was based on a show rod kit. I honestly thought this was your own unique creation. Either way I think it's neat and well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Thanks guys, yes it was originally a show rod, the Orange Hauler but I only had the body to work with and transformed into what you see above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
