"Hillbilly Hot Rod" '34 Ford Stake Body Finished!

[larman]

I just finished this truck, It is a rebuild of a 70's era AMT kit I got in a bunch of built ups from Ebay.

Since I have a bunch of 34's, from the first Trophy series to the Lindberg issues, I decided to have fun and build this as a "Hillbilly" hot rod. The Flathead that is in the stake body was in the truck before I dismantled it and stripped the green and brown brush paint from the model. I swapped in the custom FE engine from another derelict'34 I had. The "load" in the back of the truck is various junk parts that I painted and weathered. They are all glued together on a piece of acetate so they can be removed from the bed if I want. This was built from 100% junk parts and aside from the detail stuff I added like the chain and exhaust stacks, is all AMT. Thanks for looking! -Larman

Good work on the weathering, it feels both old and solid at the same time.

Looks great except for the shiny rear rims. I doubt it would have had a custom grill in it also. You did a great job. The weathering is right on.
