Ice-T reboot

[Slotto]

I'm calling her Spice-T. This is a reboot of the Monogram Ice-T kit from the '90s. I blew her apart in an effort to do something a little different. I closed the tailgate, added a rear glass and a wood bed and eliminated the 2 large gas tanks and exhaust pipes. I swapped out the motorcycle style steering wheel and used a shifter from the boneyard. The color is pearl tangerine acrylics over a silver base. The wheels and tires were swapped out to reinforce the cartoon appearance. This time around I added possible front wheels, plug wires, fuel lines and carburetor linkage along with a couple velocity stacks. The overall height was lowered considerably. No build thread for this one. Thanks for looking.

Beautiful! Also you might tell the owner to stock up on steering boxes. Looks like the first pothole is going to take it out!

[Yeah Nah]

Wow! Top job on this. Carb linkages and other engine detail really add!

That is so cool. I like it a lot. Very well done and a great color too. Wheels and tires are awesome.

I got em at Ollie's. They were on this toy...

[Zippi]

Yeah, I'm liking this one.  That's how to put Ollie's stuff to good use.

Totally digging it Steve. Well done as always! I particularly like your rear end treatment, and might have to crib it for my future build.
