Great build, lots of building ideas! (some of which I’m going to steal)
I’ve been wondering what to do with my Testor’s ‘46-48 convert. Love the very clean integration of the Foose/Roush frame and drivetrain.  Did you narrow the box and widen the rear fenders?

Great job of blending the various models and eras of vehicles into a cohesive whole. That IMC front end has never looked so good ?

Thanks for your response.  There is a thread on this build in the wip trucks section that you may want to check out.  As for the fenders and box, both are stock widths,  but the box is shortened about 3 scale inches

Hi Chuck. Thamx for the feedback.  There were a few phantom 48 Rancheros that showed up in scale auto magazine back in the 90's. I finally got around to building one.
