64' Chev Pickup

Here's my lastest build,finished it last week.
I built it for an on-line comp, it had to be a "Work Vehicle". Instead of doing the normal style work ute, I went with a surfer dude who makes custom surfboards delivering them up and down the coast. Since I didn't build it in the "Workshop", I'll point out a few things.
-Surfboards are scratchbuilt using a X-Box cover.
-I made two board racks, one standing and one in the back of the truck. The one in the truck has working flocked rollers.
-The tonneau was originally a DVD cover and the lift supports are made from the tube out of a pen, some beads, sewing pins and guitar string.
-I added a rear fuel tank with a fold down number plate to show the gas cap.
-The interior; The bench seat was replaced with buckets also changed the door skins, added a center console and used guitar string for trim.
-The motor is a 350 small block from a Nascar and I also made the grille.
Unfortunately the box section needed to be re-sprayed, I wasn't quite able to match it to the cab. That's about it, I'm sure I've taken up enough of your time.
Thanks for looking.

Where did the wheels come from?

Thanks Bryce!
The wheels are from the kit just painted the centers black.

You can talk mate, have you looked at your builds lately !!!

I'm glad all you guys like my build, means alot.
The boards where a hoot to paint, all done with spraycans, the planet board has 13 different colours! (stuffed up the tip a bit on that one).
I've never scratchbuilt anything before, tired to keep it simple and creative. I was surprised at how long it took to complete, I now know why some of you take forever to finish a model !

You must one patient dude!!

i love this truck!! this build is simply perfect!! not to custom but just enough!!

I loveeverything about it and that backdrop is perfect
Cheers Tony.

Good job, really was a beautiful pickup.

The painting is very nice, the wheels were good, really good car to go the beach.

Congratulations.
