1965 Chevrolet race car hauler

[LoudFordPypes]

Hey guys. Figured I would show you what I'm Currently working on. It's a kit bash of a 1965 Chevy race car hauler. Have had the two kits for a while just sitting in the closet and one day I had the idea of combining the two together and some parts boxes to do it. Let me know what what you guys think and also open to ideas as well. kind of " wingin " it. Debating if I want to run one ton suspension and a dual rear tire axle on the back or not

The two kits i'm using are Revell Monogram 1965 Chevy stepside kit # 85-7249

Amt/Ertl Model King Open Road Camper and Racers Wedge Model King #21453p

Here's a few pictures of what I got done so far. Bare with the crappy camera, still trying to figure it out not to mention it was a cloudy day

I went with a flat white for the ramp bed.

the color is a gloss burgundy with a gloss white top

cut the rear frame of the 65 pick up and re worked it but still have to add some frame rails so it will be a full frame

plain jane interior. Flat white and some detail done

I don't know if I'd go with a white interior on a work truck. It'll get dirty real quick. I like what you're doing, though.

I never gave that a thought of it getting dirty. Maybe ill run a aluminum or flat black carrier on it. I have a 51 Chevy straight axle gasser i built years ago to go on it

Good idea for this cab.

I like it, (IMO) I would go with the duel wheels it will give it that beefy look especially since it's going to be hauling a race car, looking forward to more!!

Steve: is this a scratch built hauler?

[disabled modeler]

I like it.... I got one of those kits just for the camper part half so I could build a motor home from it.
