This started as the remains of an aborted hot rod project. Im not sure if this is "legal" here or not but the engine will be a souped up 4 banger which might make it ok...if not feel free to delete it and i will have no hard feelings. Frame is scratch built with model A crossmembers used. Its gonna have a flat bed on it that i will scratchbuild. . I still have to strip the paint on the cab. The paint will be black fenders with blue angel blue cab and hood. I think i will do some slight weathering but nothing extreme. oh yeah the hood on it right now isnt gonna be the one i will be using its only there for mockup purposes. You can point out the innacuracies all day but i didnt build this to be accurate i am building it as a fun project that I can display my models with. Thanks for looking

Thanks guys Here is an update. I have started to paint a few things. I am going to rechrome the outer ring of the wheels as well as the dust cap and leave the wheels black. I also started to make the flatbed but as you can see I havent gotten very far yet. Also did a quick primer of the cab. Dont worry the front wheels will be centered in the fenders...this is only a mockup Thanks for looking

Thanks everyone Steve: I painted the whitewalls to match the tire today they arent noticable anymroe.
I have made a lot of progress on this one but Im gonna keep it hidden for awhile before taking any more pictures.
