Scissor Door Ferrari Pickup

[Nosferatu]

I wanted to make a low pickup truck with scissor doors. After searching thru all my parts I came up with this. A Ferrari Modena and the Dodge Deora. This seemed to be the only pick up bed that would combine with the Ferrari front…and that wasn’t easy. I also decided to make a mid-engine vehicle so I kept the Ferrari engine.

I made the headlights and bezels and used some parts from the stash for the interior keeping the Ferrari dashboard. I used a piece of the Ferrari for the body section that went over the engine and added the clear cover. I also added the home made spoiler. The scissor doors were another challenge. I was able to mold in a piece of tubing to the end of the dash on each side and drill a hole thru the tube into the side of the dash for the swivel pin. I had to re-scribe the door latch sides as the doors were too long. I used pieces of other door panels and some flat stock to complete the doors. I also shortened the windshield height and added the top frame. Lots of hours on the bodywork!

For the paint I used a combination of three different nail polish colors. Painting the body metallic silver first then laying down the tape for the stripe, then air brushing the blue over it all.

I have added a few WIP pics.

Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.

Cool.

Great imagination creating the body. The final body lines look smooth and blend well. The color looks great and a smooth finish. Not something you would expect to find in the parking lot at the Home Depot or Lowes, but better than any El Camino or Ranchero.

Now that's something I wouldn't expect to see. Great vision and execution. Very very nice

When I saw the rough mock up I though "Oh Gawd" , but after seeing the finished work I am kinda digging it. Turned out very well.

Now that's what it's all about, using your imagination to create something out of nothing. Great modelling there Dave, I can't wait to see your next creation, well done.

Alright, someone not afraid to modify an untouchable Ferrari.  Don't see many, if any, customized/modified Ferraris, glad to see one. And this one came out quite well. Nice paint work and bodywork to put those two completely opposite bodies together.  I like it.

Very nice mashup! Well done!
