Firetruck show rod

[BIGTRUCK]

I have enough stuff to build some type of showrod left over from some beaters so I decided on a Chicago Fire Dept showrod with a trailer.  The chassis is a revell ,the front and rear are an AMT mix. Trailer is Monogram, twin blower set up from the 62 Vette that came with it once, scoops are Paddy Wagon,  the rest is MPC Outcast. Extra goodies (ladders ,tools etc.) are parts box , rear tires are parts box also.

Sounds like an interesting project.

You have a lot of good-looking leftover parts.

An early mock up and in primer. I also found 2 better body sides that were new so things went along a little faster. I may also make some running boards to sit on those huge pipes.

Looking promising. I would suggest attaching your running board step idea to the frame rails for support. Where did you find those front wheel disc brakes?

MPC Fire Truck or MPC Outcast have that steerable axle with discs.

A little color and a few fire fighting tools and its shaping up some. My hose reel for the trailer came in from " 3 inches under "
