Chuck Most Posted August 24, 2022 Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) Been a long time since I built a hot rod. So here we are. The cab and bed are from the AMT/Ertl reissue of the old MPC '29 Ford Woody/Pickup. The cab was modified to fit the firewall and interior from the Revell '29 Model A Roadster, and the bed was cut down. Speaking of the Revell Roadster, that's where pretty much everything under that cab and bed came from. The entire chassis from that kit was used, along with the radiator, grille shell, and headlights. The wheels and tires were donated by a Revell Rat Roaster. The kit's Chevrolet engine was swapped out for the 5.0/AOD combo from a Revell 1932 Ford street rod. It was capped off with the staggered dual quad intake and twin McCullough superchargers from the AMT Barris Surf Woody. The conical air filters are from Iceman Collections, and the hitch is from Scenes Unlimited. The blanks were filled in with minor scratchbuilding and kit parts.

Zippi Posted August 24, 2022 Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) Yeah Buddy.....that's an Old School Hot Rod. Nice weathering and I love the backdrop. Edited August 24, 2022 by Zippi
espo Posted August 24, 2022 Posted August 24, 2022 I like the aggressive look and stance. The rear tires tread pattern looks a little different from other slicks I have seen,
TooOld Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Great use of the chassis and other spare parts , great looking pickup ! I forgot about the Rat Roadster tires , have to use them on a build one day .
Dragonhawk1066 Posted August 27, 2022 Posted August 27, 2022 Outstanding! Well done with just the right amount of weathering!
BIGTRUCK Posted August 29, 2022 Posted August 29, 2022 Very nice. Front wheels work great on this build.
thatz4u Posted August 29, 2022 Posted August 29, 2022 How do you keep dreaming this stuff up?? I like it!!!
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 29, 2022 Posted August 29, 2022 Things like this often turn out as ungainly messes, but you managed to pull it all together with pleasing proportions. Nice work. 1
Zippi Posted September 3, 2024 Posted September 3, 2024 Yup, that's just a good looking Hot Rod Chuck.
