'49 Chevy 3100 Suburban Woody

[Kit Karson]

The '49 Chevy 3100 Suburban Woody started out with a Replicas and Miniature of Maryland Chopped Woody:

Rik Hoving also included Chopped '48 Ford Woody Custom Rear Fenders

Adding the nose from the AMT1950 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup Truck was next:

Chopped '48 Ford Plan separate the peckerwood from the old nose:

How cool!  Pulling up a chair to watch this.  You want door handles?

Very neat conversion!  And great photo documentation too!   I am also watching!

 

[restoman]

So cool! 

I be watching, too!

[Modlbldr]

Great idea and fine execution.

[Impalow]

ooooo..... this is really cool!   all that lined up much better than I would have thought.  Great work! Great Concept!

[Nazz]

  This build should be interesting. I will be watching also.

[Koellefornia Kid]

I like that! Looks good so far!

[Plowboy]

Very cool idea! I know it would take some work. But, I would stick with your original idea of using the Chevy rear fenders. It would really tie it together perfectly. I just went through that issue with my '48 F-1 Phantom (convertible nose on the pickup). It was extra work modifying the convertible's rear fenders. But, when I stuck them on the bedsides, it was worth it.

Here we go again!

I started one, but I made the body into a 2 door, used the Chevy rear fenders too. That was more difficult than fitting the front clip!

Looks just like it came out of the model factory from one of the model companies..Just another example of what Ezmerlian Customs can do..Dennis is the Foose of model builders..

[Rocking Rodney Rat]

Looking good!!! Keep at it!!! -RRR

[Kit Karson]

Got the nose permanently connected to the peckerwood! -KK

 And, have a to tweak the hood just a bit:

 

[DrKerry]

Looking awesome!! 

[Kit Karson]

What's under the wood may be more important!

'49 Chevy 3100 Suburban Woody IFS vs I-Beam

Checked out the Bagged IFS from the Phantom Vickie!

Looks like a good choice for the front suspension!

There's another part to this build... the '49 Chevy 3100 Suburban Woody is going to be the tow vehicle for the Woodpecker Speed Boat:

So, do you all mind if I add the Woodpecker Speed Boat to the coverage of the '49 Chevy 3100 Suburban Woody build? -KK

[Modlbldr]

Not at all! I will be taking notes on the speedboat. I have a similar idea in progress using the 40 Ford Sedan and a modified Hemi Hydro boat. What boat are you using?

The boat is a very appropriate addition to this thread IMO. I'm sure a certain Mr.Boyd will agree as well.

Tom, the hull is from the Revell 7242 Gone Fishing Dodge RamCharger and BASS Boat Model 1/25 McM KIT FS

Changed out the transom... more on this conversion to come -KK

 

[Modlbldr]

Nice job so far. Thanks for the info on the boat. Looks like a great conversion.

Later-

[Lowlife ! !]

 

Looking good KK, the woodys coming along well, and looks even better towing a woody boat  ! !

[espo]

I welcome the addition of the boat. The two go together naturally anyway. I did something on a much less ambitious scale with the Revell '66 Chevelle Wagon and a Hemi Hydro. I like how you're doing the deck on the boat. I'll have to try that when I build the next boat. 

[Kit Karson]

Got to stick some inner-fenders under the hood of the woody:

Most everything fits...

And, just a little trimming and the chassis should slip right into place! -KK

Just for the benefit of our viewing audience. Those instructions are from the Wagon Rod.
