Art deco hauler with Corvette racer

[Taxdude]

Finally back to building after not have a modelroom for 8 months.

Here is the mock-up of my art deco hauler. The cab is a resin piece (can't remember who made it). The bed is 100% scratch built.  The racer is a '55 Corvette.

So much to do yet.

KILLER! I absolutely love the bed design

I second the love for the bed. 

I really like this project. The cab looks like a Ron Cash resin product. But I think other have done it also.

Holy smokes that’s cool!! Any thoughts on colors?

[cobraman]

Cool project, that will be very nice.

Oh yeah.....that's a Looker in my books.  This is at the stage where you grab a cup of Joe (or a cold one) and set back and admire what you've accomplished.  looking good man.

This is going to look fantastic. Very well integrated design of all elements.

The resin body is a great representation of the White cab. Besides the great looking bed the design of the sides looks good as well.

Off to a great start.  I like the tweezer holder.

Here is the rub.  Do I go for a matching hauler and racecar combo. Or a mix of colors.    I keep going back and forth.

Anything to hold a mockup in place for a quick picture.

Thank you.  I just had a rough idea and ran with it.  There were a couple of 2 or 3 steps back but in the end I think it has the deco vibe.

[slusher]

Really awesome project!

Nice looking mockup.  Where did the 5-slots mags on the Vette come from?

Yes indeed.  This one really grabs my attention.

[NOBLNG]

That is COOL! Great design on the deck section.???

[dust collectors]

That thing is looking killer, nice work.

[Zippi]

Hey Taxdude, can you upload some of that good looking weather you have outside your garage to some of us unfortunate fellows?  Thanks man.

[Lucius Molchany]

Near;I think the cab is based upon a White CO.E

[Paul Payne]

How about a red cab and stainless steel bed? Great looking project so far!

[PatW]

Super project!

Nobody noticed that Taxdude hasn't logged in since the day after he posted this 2021?

Looks like someone else was thinking along those same lines. I love that art deco stuff also!

Looks as if this builder found an old Fire Engine and turned it into a car hauler.
