crazyjim Posted September 16, 2013 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Great hauler! You better come up with something good for a load Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris White Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Nice paint and wheels, but Bruce is right, the ride has to look better than the truck. No pressure !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkPile Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Something RUSTY for a load would be a nice contrast. Just thinkin". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Nice color, looks great. What about a prowler with the same wheels , but running slicks out back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted September 17, 2013 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shardik Posted September 22, 2013 Share 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.
