Bagged chevrolet 66 C10 tow pickup

Had this old girl sitting for years.. Brought her as a kid and as kids do they play with models and things break and they just sit the broken wheels back in the fenders and never touch them again.. So I thought I'd pull her off the shelf after 8 years on never touching it and making something awesome! Firstly being diecast I took the screw-on chassis off and cut the front section of a 68 charger and used it as a base.. The engine that was in this looked to be an extremely in detailed 283.. So I wasn't putting that back! I thought I'd go different with a 426 which I sourced from a 68 charger which got absolutely munched while moving house. With the body I've made a reverse cowl for the bonnet and I am shaving the door handles and mirror mounts and taillights and making a valence panel with 59 Cadillac taillights I have sitting around. A nice matte white or black paint job with some pinstripes I have laying around and she will be a nice bagged rat rod pickup with a nice big hemi and something to tow my 67 chevelle dirt tracker!
