Beverly Hillbillies Olds Trucks Part Deux

[Chuck Most]

I do have a few other BH based builds (besides my WWII fighter-inspired rat rod I showed off a month or two ago), now that I think of it....

This one was done as a beater track roadster, with a Paxton-blown Stovebolt six and plenty of Dirt Modified parts thrown in. I built this one three or four years ago, and it's the first ever model to which I added brake and fuel lines. This was my first or second go-around with this kit.

This is a cobbled up 'junkyard dog' wrecker. The chassis and engine are stock, but broken/rusty/ worn out parts have been replaced through the years with whatever was on hand- '30 Model A Cowl, '29 Ford Seat, '55 Chevy Radiator, an old wooden fence post for the front bumper, you know, the usual! You can almost see the cruddy Revell '41 Chevy pickup hooked up to it in the background.

I'd like to try building one of these sometime as a more stock truck. An Oldsmobile truck from that vintage is very rare; I know a few people have made the mods, and I'd like to give it a shot.
