34 Slammer on 34 Pickup chassis

[Rattlecan Dan]

Attempting to mount an MPC 34 Slammer Modified body onto an AMT 34 Pickup chassis. Going for an Oldie stockcar look. Using the truck Chassis, flathead engine, radiator and radiator shell. Have fabricated a dashboard, and cowl, firewall, rear wheelwells, brakelines, rollbars, nerfbars, wired up the sparkplugs, and put linkage on the carb, put old fashioned 3 straight pipe headers on the flathead. Got some great artillery wheels from Ron Coon Resins, and truck tires from Plastic Performance Parts. Painted top coat Tamiya Ocean Grey. Going to number and letter it up for my younger brother. Hope you like it. Hope he likes it. Will post in Under Glass Forum when completed. Thanks for looking.

Professional work, I like the weathering. The used tires look really realistic.

VERY cool. The whole modified kit series, they all lack a cowl and dash board. I'd like to see someone come out with a decent '60s and '70's modified kit that looks real. These kits take a lot of work to do them up right, as you have done.

Very well done modified.  Those old truck frames add so much more realism to the older modifieds, used one on my '40 Willys modified. Looks like you may be needing a new left front, it appears as if the cord is showing in a couple of spots. Great build all the way around.

Thanks for the comments and compliments. Used Steve Guthmiller's easy to do weathering tip. Thanks for viewing.

That looks fantastic. Has a real period grittiness.

Thanks for all the nice words fellas. I just finished it up tonight, think I'll post it in the finished forum.
