moparmagiclives Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) I've been working on this for a little wile now, had some time to wrap it up this weekend. I didnt care for the kit plastic tires and front wheels, so out came the parts box slicks and I grabbed the front spokes from a testors T-Bucket. I wired the engine ( cant really see it now ) and made some seat belts. Paint is from a GM touch up can. Thanks for looking. Thanks again to Jacen (futerbat) for the new Tombstone.

Joker Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Don't forget to add a tie link.. My build is the reissue in white.. James aka Joker
moparmagiclives Posted April 3, 2012 Author Posted April 3, 2012 I thought about the drag link, but figured it would look to out of place compared to the rest of the kit front end, and then where do you stop. I've got another one of these, I may get a little more detailed with it. I like the open cockpit idea. I picked up a haulin hurse I'm thinking of building with the next one as a race car/ tow rig. Not really related to the tv show. Probly lots of blacks and reds.
Qwit Pushin Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Shane, love the build. That looks like a platinum color with a black wash, am I correct? In any event, it's an exceptionally-clean build, well done!!
kruleworld Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 moparmagiclives i like the way you captured it to look like cast iron (whether or not that was intentional) it looks very good.

Built an Eddie Hearse C-cab and Chopper. and this Monstrosity..LOL James aka Joker
moparmagiclives Posted April 3, 2012 Author Posted April 3, 2012 It's a general motors color, don't recall the name, but I think it's just called " champagne " ?? Any rate, I wanted more of a brass, antique color more then a "gold". And then lots of black wash, it really made the casting POP !!!I Once it was cleared, it has a little platinum pearl to it. Adds to the antique look I think. Thanks guys !
s10chevypu Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Shane, Thank's, It was the single kit that came out after the double tin kit. do not know if the double kit is molded in white or black I have not opened it yet. Joseph Barbato
kruleworld Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 and this Monstrosity..LOL James aka Joker needs the rear wheels further back, but COOL!!
surfjunke Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Nice build, Shane. Looks great. The others are all cool as well.
