Well sort of!!

Here's the first pics of my Halloween Project,

Body started as a resin '34 4dor same as this one being built by Artus,



Now I needed a Delivery to haul all the evil around so 4dors wouldn't do and there was no kit source for a chassis strong enough for the power plant that's getting slotted between the rails so I had to make my own! front end is a mix of '32 & '50 Ford bits and Rear end is from a late model Stang. Wheels are stock '34 Ford with '41 Lincoln rear tyres.







There will be lotsa Pumpkins and I'm gunna try something with the paint I havn't ever seen done b4!!



Care to guess what will be powering this beast??

Allison engine?

Not many purists here dude!

oh my goodness !!!





crazy cool ...

wow monster powered,like it,so coooooool.

Got some sort of themed paint scheme going this arvo, it fades from light orange to red at the bottom and the Pumpkins will be the same orange as the wheels. The scull an crossbones will not be boney colored! lots to go so lets call this : Paint - stage 1.

looks great so far top job

Hell yeah, fantastic paint and concept!!

I'm sure I posted here yesterday.
Either I didn't click on send or someone has caught the Scale Auto Forum deleting posts disease (maybe I used an unapproved word like "vomit" which gave cause for deletion - it's happened before).
I suspect the former though.

Anyhoo, what I said was - Only 1 Allison? Will that be enough power?

What gearbox are you using? I did some research on this and the result was that a powerglide would (if beefed up) be man enough to take the 1500 or so HP from an Allison and might even be able to take the output from 2 coupled in line.
Michele at TPB will sell you one if you need.

Nice paint. I hope we're going to see scale pumpkins with globes inside them.
