Mopar - D Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 I started with the new released AMT 25 T Fruit Wagon kit. The paint is Model Master Sublime and a Semi-gloss black top. The Ford engine was replaced with a HEMI and extended the wheel base. Hand built the crate for the "HEMI crate engine" in the back. Your comments are welcome and appreachated.
peter31a Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Very cool! A hemi sure beats a load of fruit eh? Nice build.
DynoMight Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Looks great, but maybe sand the slicks? It'll make the tires look more realistic.
bondo bill Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 neat take on an old kit- i just picked one up,ya got me thinking
W-409 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 That turned out really nice. I thought it's hard to build anything interesting from these kits, but you proved me wrong. This is a really good looking Hot Rod Delivery with good looking paint job and sharp detailing. I like the crate engine in the back, too. I have a question though that I've been wondering for a while. A few people write "HEMI" (With Capital letters) and other write "Hemi". Where does the word "HEMI" come from? Is it a shortened version of something else, like for example NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing)? Just curios, I don't mean to nitpick here.
slusher Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Outstanding build Dan. I really like the engine swap and color choice. Enjoyed the build up on this,,

Hemi is short for "Hemispherical" in reference to the combustion chambers. Man! that's a nice build. I have to get one of those kits.
PARTSMARTY Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I LOVE OLD HOT RODS SO MUCH AND AM PRETTY CRITICAL.I'M A FIRM BELIEVER IN ORIGINALITY RULES AND THIS BLOWS ME AWAY-CONGRATS !!!
Mopar - D Posted October 22, 2014 Author Posted October 22, 2014 Thanks for the comments this was a different type of build for me and it was a fun build to do.
dragcarz Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 One of my all time favorite kits, very nice job.
geetee66 Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Splendid job! I looked at this kit...now I gotta get one!! Nice touch with the crate engine. Two minor criticisms....and they are only tiny things: Take the shine off the tyre treads. It makes them look more realistic. The headlight lens seems to be in crooked, not with the refraction lines vertical. I hope you're not offended. It's such a nice build, but these details would make it even better
