Mj-Styro Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Heres the pics of the real truck i am copying in scale.
Mj-Styro Posted September 2, 2008 Author Posted September 2, 2008 Shes almost completed,just a few more goodies then shes done.
george 53 Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Looks GOOD Mike, are ya gonna give it to the owner, or keep it as a memento? I'm sure whoever owns the real deal would be happy to see it in scale! Great job kiddo!
sdrodder Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 sweet build. Love they way your goin with it. One tip though to almost match the real one drop the rear slightly if possible. If not then thats fine too as it looks sweet. Nice idea always loved that grill style myself
rollinoldskoo Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 which resin company u get the body from? and which kit comes with that air cleaner??? does someone sell those?
RyanSilva Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Looking good! The only resin item i would think is the grille, as AMT makes the bodies. The aircleaner , i have seen the same ones in AMT prostreet superbee. Roadrunner version might have them aswell..

AMT makes a 50 body.... no vent windows and a split windshield... his has the 54/55 single piece windshield and vent windows.... Edited September 3, 2008 by rollinoldskoo
Aaronw Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Nice job on an unusual build, don't see many '54s, in fact I think this one is the first completed I've seen. Looking good!

The 54 has a completly different grill that would not lend its self to an easy drop in replacement, it has a different shaped windshield too. The resin I've seen replaced the entire cab except for the hood, just wish I could remember who does a '54.

sdrodder Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 i have to check ebay. I think i saw a company that makes the conversion cab. Let me see.
