1320wayne Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Here is my latest finished creation. It is a full custom from a 57 Cameo pickup. It features plenty of ktibashed bodywork including the front headlight areas from the Vetteagin kit. The front grill is an upside down 51 Chevy. The rear fenders are also from the 51 Chevy. The taillights are from an early 60's Vette. The remainder of the body has been extensively modified with styrene and filler. The hood has been pancaked and then extended and peaked downward towards the grill. I pondered long and hard about possibly chopping the top and even polled some fellow club members but when it came right down to it I left it alone and I'm happy that I didn't chop it. The engine is out of a 96 Vette kit. The chassis has been kitbashed from the Cameo kit as well the front section from the Vetteagin kit. The exhaust is scratchbuilt out of aluminum tubing with metal exhaust tips running out the back. The interior is also kitbashed out of the Vetteagin kit. Paint is HOK Candy Apple red with added flames garphics from a Slixx decal sheet. The wheels are from Pegasus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320wayne Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 Hey, I saw that at NNL West, didn't I? Very cool custom! Yes. A couple of fellow club members brought it with them. I had planned to attend but a family emergency came up at the last minute. Thanks for the compliments guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slotbaker Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Very nice. It's great to see shots of the running gear. How come only a few people show off their chassis? :? Should be more of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Wyatt Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I'm not a custom guy, mainly because I don't think I have the imagination to do something like that but I certainly can appreciate the amount of work that goes into something like this! That is WILD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookedonplastics Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Very sweet. I especially love the touch of adding graphics to the gas tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
