Slotto Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redscampi Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Beautiful! Also you might tell the owner to stock up on steering boxes. Looks like the first pothole is going to take it out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ea0863 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
