Here's another one I am working on, Got the cab with this work done to it, the hood master was tweaked so I cut it apart and am in the process of tryin to get it straighten out. Any custom truck guys out there ??? What do you think ???

Hello, This is a set of master parts for a resin conversion. The hood was all tweaked when I got it. At the moment the hood is cut into 3 pieces. As soon as I get it all back together I will be offering them in resin.

Hey Mark, Thanks on the truck,,,its driving me nutssssssssss, I have glued the hood back together twice is morning and tore it back apart twice Its back in the box now and off the workbench, better luck next time, I guess its one of those days

The Bonneville is an AMT annual issue 64' model, thinking about popin' it,,,,

That kind of sucks, 'cuz it sure looks like you were on the right track! I'd really like to see more 'hot rod' and custom big rigs!

Hey Chuck

I will get the hood straighted out if I have to build a new one. I just got a bit fed up with it this morning and I am casting and clayin up some more parts so maybe that was the problem, tryin to work on it between puttin stuff in and out of the pressure pot, guess I'm not a multi tasker

I will post some more pics of the rig when I get the hood right. Working on a few more custom big rigs too, so stay tuned.

Hey Mark

I might end up doing that Bonneville, Have not found a donor kit with the right lenght chassis yet so if I can't find one I might pop the orig. chassis when I do it. For sure doing the 64' Chevelle Wagon and the Elcamino soon as I get the 2 or 3 truck projects out of the way.

Thanks again for the hood scoop for the 61' Shade Tree project that you sent this way !!!

I might have a stock chassis for one or real close but would need her back........

Well its back out to the shop to see what I can come up with for a hood for this thing,,,the other was so tweaked that I think it would be easier to just build another one. I think its gona grow,,,,longer
