1937 Ford Monster Truck

[Zippi]

Just finished this one up this morning.  Paint is Tamiya X-10 Gun Metal acrylic and cleared with X-22 clear.  The chassis was painted with Krylon Tangerine Orange.  Chassis, wheels & tire are from the AMT Silverado Monster truck kit.  Engine is from the scrap yard.  The body is from the Revell 1937 Ford Pickup.  The chassis was heavily modified and shortened to get the wheel base to fit under the 37 Body.

Extra cool monster truck, I enjoyed watching it come together. The open hood is a neat touch.

Thanks.  When I use to have my 1:1 37 pickup street rod I'd open the DS hood panel at all the car shows so that's where I got the idea.  I appreciate ya tagging along for the build.

Great looking truck. Definitely reminds me of the Outlaw 35 monster truck from back in the day.

Good job on the build.

Thanks Jeff.  I never saw this 35 during my research before starting the build but someone told me about it just before I finished my build.  It must have been in the back of my mind.

Great job blending the two kits to make this Monster Truck. Beautiful looking paint work on the body and the chassis.
