WillyBilly Posted March 8 Posted March 8 My previous Wedge build had a Dodge cab, and Iceman dually wheel set. I built it for a 68 Hemi Dart as if a race team acquired a untouched 10-year-old factory race car. This time I am building a very incorrect Wedge for the Coo Coo Marlin Monte Carlo. The true version would have been a C-70 Box truck with a trailer. But this is 1/25 scale world, so it will be a Racer's Wedge. The project was started and painted a couple years ago I think. Once again using IceMan dually wheels. I chose not to detail them, but just paint them white as many trucks back then just had everything painted white to cover the rust of the hubs, and lug nuts. I might do the same with the Chevy. I might paint them black, or a medium grey. Not sure yet. 7 1

I might do another with a Ford cab. Some day if I can find another Johan Torino oval track car that is not an arm and a leg, it will have a car to go with it. Edited March 8 by WillyBilly 1

WillyBilly Posted March 11 Author Posted March 11 I decided to two tone the cab and paint the wheels gold. I also couldn't help but notice MPC wanted these two together from the start. The racer's Wedge, and Coo Coo Marling Monte Carlo were released aound the same time. I think the Wedge was 1971, and the Monte was 1972-1973.
WillyBilly Posted March 14 Author Posted March 14 Getting closer. Finished the cab and installed it. I just have wheels, chrome and decals left. 2
