'34 pickup on "Roaster" chassis

I see a lot of muscley-cars here on the bench...so I been building Hawt Rods. This one is obviously chopped, channelled, lowered, shortened, and tweaked a bit. The Rat Roaster has the best wheels, and nearly best engine of all the Revell '32's I used the truck floorboard after cutting out the ones molded on the frame and grafted in the tranny tunnel from the roaster. Bed floor was cut out and raised to channel the bed. So now I have a Rat Roaster roadster, coupe, and now a truck, and I have another sedan body...so I need another Roaster kit!!!

Proportions look good. You may already know...in reality, the '32 truck cab is the same as the '34 truck cab except for a different firewall and a different body-line stamped in the rear cab wall. So you've pretty much built a '32 pickup...which isn't available otherwise. Nice job so far.
