Blue Beetle II WIP '53 Ford Pickup

[bondo bill]

Here is my updated version of the old "Blue Beetle" '29 Ford Monogram pickup kit. I am using the AMT '53 Flip Nose kit.

I cut off the top and removed a sizable chunk of the hood. The pickup tonneau is made from an old DVD case. An old "Blue Beetle" kit provided the wheels.

I'm planning to add a surfboard and scuba gear in the future.

Comments welcome!
