Hi Guys: Lil Red Wagon with Camper mock up. I tried a few different '60s truck cabs and this is the coolest one. It will take some scratch building to get it all together. Also an update on the "Willy the Kid" Gasser. Willy's frame has been completed, Blown 421 Poncho installed, Body work is next. Thanks, Merk

Picked up a second Lil Red wagon kit for additional parts. this one is molded in white and will work better for the motorhome. I used the extra kits wheels and tires, 3 rear rim centers and and one rim face per side with a scale trash can from a slot car set joing the rim/tires together. The camper was just a bit to wide so ran all the center panels through the table saw and narrowed it up a 1/4 inch. Built up the chassis and the wheel base looks perfect. Next the cuts on the truck sides and camper floor. Thanks, Merk

Wow, great idea! It is going to look cool.

I thought about using the front off of one of the Chevy or Ford vans for a "Class C", funny I didn't think of this!
