CRUDD

[Geezerman]

Early this year, friend sent me a set of truck wheels. I searched thru the junkyard for stuff to do something with it. Large tank was 2 half side tanks from a RC Jeep.

I built up the heads on an old junk engine to fit a set of Hemi type valve covers.

Extended the frame so I could squeeze in the scratched, imagineered, induction.

All WIPs can be seen in my FOTKI:

Finished.

BTW, the red hose from the junction box goes forward to the fuel pump.

Black (inner) hose is for filling the 'sippin' jugs. There's a full one on the front seat

Welp, Geeze,I can see the 40 pickup cab, but the rest is latin ta me! Sure DO LIKE the way you can just "Imagine-eer" this stuff up! at least it LOOKS like it all goes together! Just remember about the guy who spred the "Crud" at "Love Cannal"

Love it. Great details. Nothing like a rat rod with a tankful of charm.

As always your rat rods are very cool and interesting!

I believe if you are going to talk about the Love Canal , don't leave out the Deerfield Dump . These two nightmares caused the Super Fund . This Honey Dipper is outrageous . Everytime I see on of these now , this build pops into my head . Thanx..

[Paul Payne]

That’s a whole lot of fun in one little place! I could look at the details for hours!

[doorsovdoon]

Amazing detail and weathering there! Loving the semi wheels on the rear, great looking build. 

[Pat Minarick]

Very cool

[bisc63]

It's like a super-detailed Tom Daniel kit! Love the imagination and execution. Well done.

[slusher]

unique awesome model!

[Zippi]

Nicely done.  Don't know why but it reminds me of "Stubby Bob" off The show Road Kill. 

[Modelbuilder Mark]

Glad this one was resurrected, I have never seen this one somehow. Good looking model!

[spencer1984]

Same here, I missed it previously but am glad it got bumped.

This build does indeed look like crud.  In fact it looks so real that it should be pulled off the road for every safety violation on the books. ?
