Vilperi Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Started with a resin kit wich is based on a Volvo 544 cut in half. Backdated it with a split windscreen and built a ribbed grille. in the 50´s Volvo offered a complete chassi with front fenders and cowl. There was both pick up´s and stationwagons and even a few convertibles built on those chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I like your engineering on the rear suspension.. I remember seeing a couple of the wagons here in the US that may have been based on this design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It´s cast in Sweden by Kent Gustavsson. Don´t know how active he is right now. He casted this pickup the 544 and 210. Very complete kits, even a separate fanbelt was included.
