customsrus Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Got the idea for this out of an older model car magazine.I thought it was pretty KOOL. Cab and bed molded together. Windscreens are modified fireball pieces. It has a corvette ZR-1 Motor. If you look close the turn signals are inside the headlights. Custom front and rear pans. The chassis is from a Nascar Kit. A lot of modifications went into this model, more than I can remember. And yes the front tire is leaning, did not have any glue with me to put it back on.
customsrus Posted December 24, 2008 Author Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) where did u get the kit at? The chevy truck is an AMT kit, you should be able to find it at any hobby shop. the wheels are from pegasus hobbies. the engine is out of the amt 39 wagon rod. and the chassis was from a dale jarrett ford thunderbird nascar kit. I'll try to post more pictures of it. Edited December 26, 2008 by customsrus
customsrus Posted December 31, 2008 Author Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) here is another picture. Even got the wheel fixed. Edited December 31, 2008 by customsrus
Peter Lombardo Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 That is really slick...neat "outside the box" build. I think I would get claustrophobic though, if I were to actually drive that truck...but who cares???? It's a model! You can do that kind of design and not worry about it. Great build...you must be very pleased with the outcome.
