Late Model Truck Progress

[cagee13]

I've made progress with the Late Model Truck its the 41 Willys pickup. I've still got a ways to go to get it race ready but here it is mocked up. I have to do a bit of trimming to move the front tires in but its coming along nicely.






Here are some brighter pics of just the body so you can get a better look at it.



The low spot on the hood was a little more than I was shooting for but I have an idea to cover it up. Hope to have this thing track ready by the end of this weekend.

Oh yeah :)

The cool thing is, imperfections make it perfect :)

Looking good Chris!

I thought we must have the same kit! I was holding out for a double kit that's coming, but it never showed up on this side of the pond, so I'm going to go ahead with this one. I like what you did with it. I am still at the stage where I am imagining it and holding pieces of model together to see how they look.

Looks good, Chris, but it is a little too clean and shiny! ;)

I'm still waiting to see what it looks like from the rear!

No comment on that one :)

During testing the "Hogan's Hero" went over the fence. Literally took flight on me. Very odd.

But it is ok :)

y'all will see nothing but the rear of my truck, oh yeah

When I get done it won't be clean and shiny...hopefully. I updated the top post so there is a picture of the rear for you.

Chris had said that he cut the back of the bed too short and that from the back it looked like a monster truck. It doesn't look like a monster truck - it looks good. (However, in this series the term "monster" seems appropriate.

Why am I not surprised that my truck launched? I guess it's built "Ford Tough." (that probably jinxed it).

Ain't that always the way? I just said I had given up on my other kit making it across the pond- it was supposed to be out Sept 1st, then delayed to the end of Sept, and surprise! They shipped it today from my US dealer. So it looks like I will do two trucks after all, if there's still time.

[HomeRacingWorld]

Always time.

We are just having fun. If you cannot make the Halloween deadline, no worries. I'll drag my feet shipping them back a couple days :)

I love strict discipline- its so much more rewarding when its trashed.

Thanks, Harry.
