GrandpaMcGurk Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Let's start with some pics of the prototype body in progress....yep it's a 1/25th scale custom C-cab, just when you thought the "T" had been built every way possible......here's yet another that ( if I was a tad younger) I'd like to build full size for myself. Here's a couple of mock up shots with a loosely wired full tilt Hemi & some tires. I've made the frame long enough to accommodate just about any engine. All of the suspension pieces from the AMT double T kit simply drop in although parts box stuff etc. would work just as well with minor mods. Wotcha' think?
62rebel Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 i've been thinking of doing the red C-cab that Dave's Showrods has for an icon... i like yours, as well; it's got "flow"!
Leadworks Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 This is coming along GREAT......keep it going...

Thanks, I wanted to get away from that "constructed from sheet plywood" look.
GrandpaMcGurk Posted January 23, 2012 Author Posted January 23, 2012 Lee, I've started laying up some front clips and spare doors for those of you that are planning on building Pro-Mods and need the extra chunks. The way it looks right now I should be able to start laying up the one piece bodies soon.
deathskull59 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 cool c cab and is that a reisen or completly scratch built.
Dr. Cranky Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I like it, very nice work. Looks different that's for sure.

Nathan, it's my original design constructed from sheet styrene. The frame is from the AMT double "T" kit, I modified the rear kick up to support the back of the body without having the buggy spring cross member causing a hump in the cargo area or changing the ride height.

Thanks Virgil, C-cabs have been around longer than I have and my wife says I'm older than dirt......it's just my take on a custom C-cab. It could be a "trailer queen" show car or an attention grabbing street rod.
Psychographic Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 I've always had a soft spot in my heart for C cabs. I like what you have done so far.
