This is revells excellent '37 ford panel delivery. It has been pie sectioned at the bottom of thebody to produce a higher rake. This is the delivery truck for Longveiw custom surf board and repair shop. I scratchbuilt a surfboard rack out of evergreen strip. Boards came from a multitude of different kits and the tri fin boards were handmade and given to me by a fellow modeler whose name escapes me now(sorry, whomever you are). Engine is out of the amt 34 ford 5 window kit with a S.C.o.T looking blower from the AMT 57 chevy and the scoop came from amt's 32 roadster. Wheels are from the revell 31 sedan. It took me almost 10 years to figure out something unique and kool to build out of this kit, so I'm pretty happy with the results.

That is beautiful...I gotta ask though, does the driver for the Longview Board and Repair shop ever worry about getting pulled over for having no headlights? Sat here looking at the intense paint job, loving the stance and it took me awhile to figure out what seemed just a bit off. Smiling...don't get me wrong, that is gorgeous and I would be proud if anything of mine gets close to looking that good. I especially love the board rack idea, very, very cool and the thought to detail of placing the footstep on the rear fender to reach the boards.

BTW Just got My pistons with this one, proving I spend too much time online and not enough time at the table, as I type I am waiting for some sprue glue to dry on the inside of my chopped 32 and just put the Bantam body into the purple lake for the second time.

First off, thanks to everyone for their comments.
Certribe, you are the first to notice that(at least nobody said anything before). I actually forgot to add them. I was up against a deadline for this build and simply forgot to install them. I don't know if I will ever do it, for the simple fact that I will probably drop superglue on the paint somewhere and ruin it while installing them, that's my luck. Thanks for saying something though.
Rodburner, yes you've probably seen it at the MCM or Hobby Heaven boards.
and since a few of you commented on the paint specifically, heres the details. it's tamiya clear blue sprayed over white primer, both spray bombs. I made the logos using testors decal maker.
