November 2001:
I assembled the rolling chassis. I extended the driveshaft with a piece cut from sprue. I glued the engine (from a stock 53 Ford pickup kit) in place, omitting the top parts, since the hood would not be opened. The tires came from the Flipnose, but the wheels were taken from a die-cast. |

November 2001: I made mounting brackets from styrene laminates for the exhaust pipes. I took the exhaust pipes from the 53 Ford Flipnose kit, and applied BMF over. I painted the hollow tips flat black. |
 |
||||
| I then superglued intermediate exhaust pipes that I made from solder wire. |
 |
||||
| I cut the tent window from a nylon refrigerator bag. I fixed it with Testors clear glue. It had the exact appearance of a real tent window. |
 |
||||
| The windshield
was shaved all around to fit between the pillars to make a flush fit.
The
trim was BMF treated, then the windshield fixed in place with Testors
clear
glue.
The rest are the finished pics. |
