‘ Rusty’ the Chevy 3100 drag truck

[crossfire 2004]

I happened upon this YouTube a few months back and just knew I had to build it.

Started with AMT’s stock Chevy 3100 truck kit, added the chassis from the Revell SSR pickup then set to with the saw. Rear axle is from a Revell ‘32 coupe, the engine, exhausts and wheels are from a pro street Chevelle ( I hand drilled all the wheel holes) and the bed floor is coffee stirrers. Lots of parts box bits & pieces were sacrificed along the way.

Paint is aerosol primer with sponge & brush applied rust top coat.

There have been several versions but this is my favourite guise. Mines not a 100% recreation but there’s no mistaking what it’s based on !
I’ve finished up the truck today and will soon post up some photos in the Drag Racing Under Glass section. Thanks for looking.
