NitroMarty Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) Finally, after a roughly 2 1/2 year dry spell, something new off the bench here at Marty's Speed and Machine (A subsidiary of WTH Motorsports).... I put the finishing touches on the '50 Chevy shop truck.... A curbside build, using a bunch of bit and pieces that I have been gathering for many years..... Chassis, box, bumpers and grille from the AMT snap kit. The Chopped "3-window" cab is a Jimmy Flintstone resin piece, while the bed cover is, I believe, from an original issue Monogram '40 Ford pickup... I modified the driver's side rear fender to accept the covered spare tire, also from the Monogram '40 p.u. kit.... Not certain where the wheels and tires originated, though I suspect a Jada diecast. Paint is Testors One Coat Inca Gold, topped with Dupli-Color 1K clear Edited December 7, 2023 by NitroMarty 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
