Built this one several years ago using some parts box pieces. The cab is AMT 40 Willys, chassis is Revell '41 Chevy, wheels/tires came from the AMT 27 Lincoln, pickup box was scratchbuilt, the grille shell is from the AMT '36 Ford, and the flathead came from

. Exhaust was inspired by an article in one of the model car rags, using paint brush ferrules and copper wire. I know I got it too long and the doors would not open in real life, but it is what it is.

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!

41chevy: Yeah I'm leaning towards the Torino as a Winfield /Starbird style idea car like the Ford Custom Caravan would have commissioned. Jan 23, 2024 13:53:42 GMT -5
