Built by: Jeff Miller Chino Hills, CA
As a long time TD fan like many of you,
I enjoy taking those fun designs & adjusting them to create a
new idea. My garbage truck is no exception, as I wanted to build it
with less garbage & more truck & still keep the fun theme.
This would not be so easy as this is a kit that many like " as
is " so to stray too far away from the original fun theme would
loose all purpose.
Starting with just the cab & having
filled in the hood, I stitched on a shorty Revell Chevy pick up bed.
These mods will give the truck more of a street look. Then the stock
Chevy fenders received frenched tail lights & a 1953 Ford F-100
rear fender via AMT, a smooth scratch built tail gate & fuel
tank complete the picture. A Tamiya Lotus kit provided the new
mirrors ( sorry surfers ) & side skirts on the scratch built
running boards.
Soon it was time to apply a crazy yellow
& purple lacquer paint scheme with my airbrush. The stock interior
was fitted with a skulls head to help keep it fun or at least
gothic.
The wood out back is real & from Ken's , you know, the guy who makes fuzzy fur..! Finally, this hauler was updated with Plymouth Prowler wheels & tires. Hope you enjoy..!
