Hell Comes to Frogtown Chevy

[spencer1984]

From the 1980s cult movie starring "Rowdy" Roddy Piper...no, not They Live, the other one.

Built from AMT's 1950 Chevy 3100 pickup kit and a Star Models panel truck. The V8 is out of my parts box, the tires are Fireball Modelworks, and the roof gun is a modified piece from Ringo Resin. A full writeup of what went into it is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome!

Now that's something a little different.  Pretty kewl.

Can't argue about the movie quality, but I've always had a soft spot for B-level 80s action flicks. I will watch Maximum Overdrive or Big Trouble in Little China any day. 😆

Really cool build. I like all of your custom work. Never heard of that movie, now my curiosity has the better of me. I love Big Trouble In Little China too.

Thank you! It's very much a product of its time, for better and for worse.

I like it.  Very interesting build.  I also am now oddly curious about the movie?  Very cool.

Thanks! If you enjoy '80s cheese, you should be good 😆
