New pics of old build

from a Jarius Watson drawing.

If I recall, I used '59 Chevy Impala wheels covers, but otherwise, stayed pretty close to the original drawing.

Ahhh....Krylon purple. I always liked that truck. And the color. It even looks good on a kamero, er comarrow...uh...Chevy F-body.

What kit did the engine come from? How did you lower the suspension?

Here's the drawback to posting old builds.

I don't know what kit I got an engine from many years ago. I think the ribbed valve covers are from the AMT '57 Chevy,,,,but I could be wrong.

Uh,,,,,,I think I lowered the suspension with lowering blocks. I think I lowered the front by placing the axle above the springs,,,,,,,,,maybe. The models are in my basement model room and I'm 2 floors up on the computer.

I remember that drawing....very nicely done, the pick up bed is just perfect....real wood with a nice varnish shine to it.

Looks like the valve covers are from AMT's '64 Chevy kit, although I could be wrong. VERY nice build, regardless of age. Excellent!

Nice!

That be the version without opening doors right? The Boyd Coddington release for example, seems like I've seen those valve covers in that one.

Hmmm...the times I've tried that I ended up with virtually no ground clearance under the springs, maybe my tires were too small.

Nice paint job, I really like the dash. Did you go off that one drawing or was there more to tell you what kinda motor and interior? Model looks great.

Typo. Thanks.

Sorry Jairus. I know what it's like to have people spell your name incorrectly all your life.

I believe there was just that one drawing. In the interior, I carried over the theme of the bed cover. The engine, I just picked from the appropriate era. I'm sure the engine is probably a 409 from some kit, but I choose to call it a 348.

Then I did it right, I guess.

Sir, you are truly an artist, this thing is beautiful and the colors you chose are phenomenal. How did you do the wood in the bed, is it a decal or is it painted? Looks painted!!

Painted is correct. Johnny, tell Mr. Cotto what he's won.
