Superb match up there. I figured you had a dicast or a modle you were planning on stealing from when I saw the running boards. This is a friggin treat.

As for the casting... Cool, glad the thought doesn't scare you.

Great work SWG, that's the same blue I used on Crystal Blu Persuation

Beautiful, SWG. If I were you, I would just leave the top of the hood on, and not have any sides, with a faux engine showing and some headders made out of brass rod. I was going to say add flat black paint and some pinstriping for that true rat-rod look, but I really like the blue.

Man, that came together fast and it looks great. I'm in slow fuckin' motion or something... I got some sanding done and a couple of coats of primer laid down this week. You scratch-built a whole car and painted it!

Getting near compleation!! I added the headlights, real wood floor in the bed, Side Pipes some more painting....

I had chrome lights but wanted them the same color as the cab so I used Easy-Off oven cleaner to remove the chrome so I could paint them the same blue color.

To be continued a little more....
