Badman truck by Dave McGowan http://www.showrods.com/gallery_pages/2002_contest/badman_iv.html

I've been thinking about this for awhile now. I saw a really nice Monogram '53 Bel Air done up in Badman colors. I haven't had much luck finding one (Monogram '53) so I started thinking about other possibilities, I.E. a Monogram '56 or '57, then I ran across these fine examples.These aren't mine, found 'em on the web.

So show me what ya got.

Those are cool...

I didn't make a derivative, but I tried to make mine more accurate. Turned it into a flipnose, with a 409 engine and the correct class designation on the window.

[Jantrix]

Lol. No wonder you want more decals.

Ill be using my kit to do a Monogram 57 gasser. Eventually.

[Greg Myers]

Neil, that's a work of real inspiration. Flip nose, red firewall makes it pop. I see you got rid of the kits sewer pipe headers with another work of art.Those look much better.

This might not be a how to on "flip" fronts , but give it a good look. There are a bunch of great ideas here covering many problems a mere beginner would have trying to copy this.

Not a derivative, but rather an alternative.

OK, where are the fenderwell headers from ?

Pretty cool btw , Like them all people.

I love the flip-nose Neil and the alternative Roger. Also love the three originals from you Gregory. This is mine, not finished yet but, this one is going to become MADMAN. I could not build the kit version, tried twice with my kids.

I recently picked up this kit but not sure when I will get to building it yet. But what I see here is awesome!

Still kicking around ideas on how I want to build it.

[roadhawg]

Now that's just plain ol' cool right there.....

And so is this........

Good stuff, guys!

I made my headers from solder.

[oldscool]

Built this one several years ago.

Made to represent a low budget, backyard built gasser without fancy wheels or paint.
