Alex Flint Posted September 4, 2024 Posted September 4, 2024 I named it GEAR JAMMER. This started out as a Ford C600 Cargo Truck. I painted it with a custom mixed Green acrylic craft paint color. I then sponge painted the patina on it using two different shades of brown acrylic craft paint. The interior is a Light Brown color with a Light Brown craft felt for carpet and headliner. I modified the interior tub to get the front wheels to fit with the cab sitting low. The barefoot gas and brake pedals are Nahuel Customs designs that I 3D printed. The seatbelts are some Brown ribbon I found at Hobby Lobby and the buckles are 3D printed. The engine is an Iceman Collections twin turbo Cummins diesel engine. I 3D printed an intercooler for it and made some custom pipes to connect it out of some styrene rods. I weathered the engine with some black acrylic craft paint dry brushed on. The frame is designed in two separate halves and 3D printed for this specific build. The wheels are 3D printed Alcoa Dually rims that I modified with spiked lug nuts and the tires are modified Z Force tires to fit these specific rims. The single hump rear fenders are also 3D printed and attached to the frame with some skinny styrene rods. The fuel tank is a custom 3D printed beer keg and a Nahuel Customs gas cap. The taillights are Nahuel Customs 1959 Cadillac taillights that I 3D printed in clear resin with some red dye mixed in. The front suspension is another Nahuel Customs design which is a custom big rig drop axle that I 3D printed. The rear 4 link suspension is also 3D printed and also a Nahuel Customs design. The airbags on the front and rear suspension are 3D printed in a flexible rubber resin that I don't use anymore. The driveshaft is custom made out of a couple of 3D printed u-joints and a styrene rod. The frame and rear fenders are painted with SMS Hyperchrome Cold Tone airbrush paint and weathered with some Brown acrylic craft paint and a sponge. The rims are also painted with SMS Hyperchrome Cold Tone airbrush paint but I didn't weather them. Everything that wasn't painted with SMS Hyperchrome Cold Tone airbrush paint was hand painted with a paint brush. This was a stalled project for a long time and it's finally done. 3
