37/`38 Ford all fire-truck-errr-rized

Started with the Revell kit with the Yellow and Blue trucks on the front, and everything just sort of snowballed into this crazy thing. There have been*alot*of changes, but it is still the stock body, engine block, interior (except the door panels), and the frame from the cab forward. Almost every kit part was modified in some way. Wheels are from an old funny car kit, and the kit moon caps were used.Tires from the Chevelle kit. Believe it or not, that is the stock bench seat in there, modified of course. I forget where I got the super charger and electric fan setup. The carbs are from another Revell street rod kit. The diamond plate is supposedly 1/100th scale!!* :blink:* :huh:*So many other things I am sure I am forgetting, Its been a long 4 months or so. Ask away.

What an incredible model. It looks like you put hundreds of hours into this. I really enjoyed looking at each pic in detail. And if the details werent over the top, you even have very nice ghost flames in there to boot. What a masterpiece.

1. I used a silver base coat, masked off the flames, sprayed a bright metallic red, then unmasked the flames and added 3 coats of candy red. And of course, lots of clear.

2. It is plastruct 1/100th scale diamond plate sheet. I sprayed it with Krylon chrome from the can.

amazing finish as usual!! I always enjoy looking at your builds. As close to 1:1 as you can get. I really need to get back to building.... its been 5 yrs without a build.

Cool as hell! Love the concept and execution, especially the paint. As usual.

This is the same truck that I've been working on forever. I'm building it as a mild drag truck, with a blown 421 Pontiac and wheels/tires from a '62 Impala 409 kit.
