Started this one yesterday and my inspiration came from Artus! OK this one is a mixed bag of bits Resin 31? chopped and channeled body Amt 32 frame (which has been stretched )and suspension with Lincoln rear wheels and 34 ford wires on the front with Revell whitewalls.Revell 29 pickup nose and the engine is from a larger scale MG of unknown origin with solder headers and a blower from my parts box.................... I'm still undecided on paint but it will be grungy!!! Thanks Paul

Got some Paint on this yesterday and still have a lot of weathering to do also started rusting up those headers and trying a few differrent front wheel set ups and the frame will be getting painted a differrent color with some weathering but it's starting to take shape!

I do love the idea and how this is coming along but for some reason the exhaust seems too big to me, what is it to scale? Maybe I am just getting old...

I do love the idea and how this is coming along but for some reason the exhaust seems too big to me, what is it to scale? Maybe I am just getting old... Charles The original engine is about 1/16 (?)from an MG but I've sort of Labeled it as an old 4cyl Truck engine that might have been picked up for a bargain and Im still toying with the idea of converting it to replicate a Diesel! So hench the large exhaust....Thanks for the input guys
