crazyjim Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 My very first resin kit and it was a blast! The kit came from Race Motor Replicas and arrived real quick. I painted it with HOK tangerine kandy over zenith gold. Prowler headlights fit just about perfect. The hauler portion was made from Evergreen. The ramps slide into the slots at the rear. Now I need to build something to be carried.
bbowser Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Great hauler! You better come up with something good for a load
crazyjim Posted September 16, 2013 Author Posted September 16, 2013 Thanks, Bruce. My mind has been working - nothing yet. I can't decide if I want something to match the truck or just something completely different. Oh, the problems of modeling.
Chris White Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Nice paint and wheels, but Bruce is right, the ride has to look better than the truck. No pressure !!!!
crazyjim Posted September 16, 2013 Author Posted September 16, 2013 Thanks, Chris. Maybe a '37 Chevy coupe with the same paint and wheels? Nuts - I'd have to find more Prowler headlights.
JunkPile Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Something RUSTY for a load would be a nice contrast. Just thinkin".
1930fordpickup Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Nice color, looks great. What about a prowler with the same wheels , but running slicks out back.
crazyjim Posted September 16, 2013 Author Posted September 16, 2013 Thanks, Andy. I like the Prowler idea with some BIG slicks. I did build one Prowler with a hemi - maybe again and make it a drag racer.
o-man Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 That is one sweet hauler! Love the color and the headlights. AND,..... it's SHINY. LOL
Renegade Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Great build. Can't wait to see what you haul with it.
slusher Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Impressive custom build Jim, beautiful color and detail. Awsume work...
crazyrichard Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 awsome , looks and color are superb !!!not ment offensive or ...in any way > for me with regualair headlights mouted on the front fenders it would have been even cooler , cant seem to see the prowler headlights fot in the whole picture / linesdef different and def doesnt look bad ...like said just something that crossed my mind ..cool stuff
crazyjim Posted September 17, 2013 Author Posted September 17, 2013 Thanks, Richard. My plan was for the modern Prowler headlights to go along with the upgraded Chevy small block engine and Toyota truck front suspension. I believe they're called resto rods now. And besides that, the Prowler headlight fit the curvature of the hood just perfectly.
tooltas Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 how bout a prowler with a 37chevy grill shell and a rat motor or 37chop convert.
cobraman Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Now how did this get by me ? Very cool, I really like it !
crazyjim Posted September 19, 2013 Author Posted September 19, 2013 Thanks, Ray. Maybe cuz I had to post it in the truck section?
Shardik Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 WOW, Jim! That's stunning. Beautiful (shiny :) :) ) paint, clever engineering, and impecable craftsmanship! The load is going to have to be something truly special. I'm seeing, maybe, a mid engine Prowler and the '37 grille sounds cool, too.
