discussion Putting extra parts to use

[Jukebox64]

I have extra parts from lots of models so I decided to try my hand at a total creation. Here’s what I’m going for.

Now this is my sort of bodging!

This will look great

V8 in the truck bed? Metalflake and shiney or ratrod?

​

Thing is here in the uk about 30 years ago when kit cars were popular there was a company that made a beetle conversion that looked a little like this..... Not quite so stepside but deffo pick up truck back end

Go for it, and if you really want to get creative put a 351 in the front and another in the load bed and you can enter the 4WD GB!!!
PS. A mate did just this with a 1980s Mazda B series pick up - Lord only knows how he mated it all to a transmission and final drives.

Very cool--VW & fat fender Ford?

I’m going to do my best to put a V8 in the front and drive the rear wheels with an actual driveshaft. That means putting a rear end underneath it as well. I don’t exactly know how I’m going to accomplish all this, but I’ve been modeling every day for the past 2 1/2 years and I have tons of spare parts and I’m getting much better at my knowledge.
