1937 Pickup Hot Rod

[Quick GMC]

Getting to the home stretch on this one. The real photo was my inspiration, but nowhere near the same. Just a lot of fine details and some plumbing left. Since I cut the fenders off, I haven't figured out how to mount the headlights yet, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. I didn't want to go to the lengths of chopping it, so I left the roof alone. Interior isn't great, but you can't really see it once it's done, so did basic weathering.

Nice work so far. I'm liking the idea and work. Just a suggestion, mount the headlights on stalks from the top of the frame next to the grill shell to the bottom of the bucket, made from a paperclip.

Slightly more progress, on the home stretch 

3D printed battery with fittings. 3D printed fuel filter with some .5mm brass nuts and Model Factory Hiro tubing for fuel lines. Used some silicone tube for the radiator hoses and some photoetched hose clamps. Got the headlights mounted, which I had to steal the mounts from my '32 Coupe kit. Getting close to being done. Have to figure out the fuel filler neck and cap, attach the wiring and the fuel lines to the carbs, then I think it's just door handles and the mirror.
