rastta Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) Built this from the AMT 3100 kit. Always loved these in lowrider style so I figured I'd give it a shot. Thanks to lowridermodelcarparts.com for the wheels and tires, fender skirts, chain steering wheel and swamp cooler. Wouldn't be the same without them. Wood bed and rails are balsa wood, and unfortunately, you can't see the multicolor metallic metalflake clear I used on them in pics. Made the front fogs from some old light housings I had and cutting off the flasher tops from the kit to use as lenses. Mexican serape blanket is made from embroidery string. Copious amounts of Molotow Liquid Chrome were used. Tamiya lacquer paint was used on the body. It's only my second time using it, and its a bit tricky to get even. All in all happy with the results.

Joe Nunes Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Nice model! Swamp Cooler, skirts, wood use on the bed and the outside and inside cab appointments…it all works great. Really like the two tone green color choice for this build. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Beautiful attention to detail thru out. This looks like one of the trucks out of the Low Rider Magazines. I like the bed floor and the side boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
