    I just finished this one yesterday. '41 Chevy cab and shortened bed on a '32 Ford frame. ( Sounds wierd but it works). Hemi with a Latham blower. Bic cigarette lighter fuel tank (shortened and cut down). Scratchbuilt tie-down rack in bed. Most of interior scratchbuilt.

    Very nice job on the junk yard... I have been thinking of doing a garage diorama. Could you share your technique for weathering wood ?

    Just a heads up, Meijers has a display of plastic models for Christmas. Most are late models and muscle cars, but I did find the Revell 5-window '32 for $11.99.

    Wheels and caps are from the '41 Chevy truck kit. The slicks on the rears are resin from The Modelhaus.
    Thanks to all for the nice comments.

    Here's one I built a few months ago. Just dug it out and thinking of finishing it.
    Not even close to whats posted here, but I built it from some s**** tin and a small sheet of wood.
