Mad Slammer Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Hi... I started this about 10 or so years ago, had an accident with the body then lost interest and finally humidity messed up the paint. So, Last year I started a rebuild, changed some things and here’s where we are at now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis Ayala Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Great Job on this one brother!!! A ton of work to get there... but really rewarding in the end. Once all is glued and painted sometimes is hard to tell how much work was put into it... 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOBLNG Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I take it the blue paint pic is from before the rebuild? I like the wood bed and the tail lights. Very nice!👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Slammer Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 Well , had a dejavú kind of thing last night... Same thing happened again, the body of the model fell from my hand landing on the right windshield post... it was a clean break as it broke on the same spot as before. After some nasty words a some swearing, I glued it back on and will try to blend it back and give it a fresh coat of paint. Good thing was it wasn’t cleared yet so it might work out... Also did some work on the interiors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Slammer Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Fixed most of the damage on the windshield post... Then repainted the whole thing and cleared it after a couple of hours... Turned out nice... it’ll do for now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has parts from the sidewinder show truck but mainly the front part of the frame only and the floorboard... everything else is either fabbed or kitbashed... engine is from the Chezoom detailed kit and the rear en día from the parts box...

1930fordpickup Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Scrolling through the pictures and there is the body painted black, I did not see that coming. The grill is a total fit or this corn-binder body. Great job on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turned out better than I expected... thanks again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Slammer Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 Did some work on the interior... the metal on the dash and console are refills from an industrial staple bending machine... wish I could find some more in other sizes 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
