Nothing real radical here. Just the basic buildup with detailing items, along with lowering the max allowed without hacking into the frame. I had to touch-up some of the paint, and the spot on the hood kinda looks like a bad patch job with Bondo, and then painted-over. Goes right along with the rat theme. The engine is a 283 w/a 2X4 carb set-up, and a 4-speed.
The crowning touch is the antenna made from a pin, with a custom-made fox tail. Thanks for looking! -Shag

Looks perfect Shagg,I like the fox tale and I love the stance you got on it.One question for you is that one of those spinning knobs on the sterring wheel? If so nice touch there.

In large box combine the following:
1 Plastic Model
1 tube glue(your choice)
1 sheet BMF
1 tube of flocking
1 can spray paint
Shake box for 2-3 minutes to mix ingredients,Allow to dry over night and display proudly.

Great job Shaggy! I look the look of the truck and the little details like the steering wheel knob and fox tail are cool touches. title=
