Nice work. Are the flames painted on? Is that a NOS bottle to next to the driver? It'd be cool to see a big tach on top of the dash. Do you have any photos of the chassis without the body? Thanks for posting.

Thanks... the interior is vacuform lexan... the driver is formed with a helmet on, I made his mohawk out of sheet styrene and had my girl paint the helmet like it was his head to give it character... the bottle is paint like a NOS bottle. .... your right a tach sticking up off the dash would be cool... the flames/tears/scallops are painted on and hand pinstriped (not very good)
the chassis is a laser stainless steel and tubing silver soldered together.... wheels and tires are protrack black 5 stars.... 1 1/6" x 1/2"

Great looking truck, well done.. Cool paintwork & flames.. Is it 1:32 or 1:24 Scale...
I am into converting 1:32 scale pickups and vans myself.. Slot cars & Dragcars.. Unfortunately here in the UK, pickup & van bodies are very hard to find... Keep up the great work, look forward to seeing more of your vehicles.. All the best.. Martin De'Ath.. -------------------- "My other Cars are Slot Cars"

Revell made some great cars. the nicest was the 56 ford imo. Ugly and elegant in one. they come around for 20 euro, complete with all the chrome parts.
