1929 C Cab hot rod

Recommended Posts

Finally finished the pretty much scratch built C Cab hot rod for a rabid Chiefs fan friend of mine.

The cab is all sheet styrene with the frame from a left over Pete 378 parts box and the rest from a 1/18 scale Muscle machine die cast toy car. The seat was craved balsa with plastic half rod inserts heavily poly'ed and shot with gloss black.  The headers are bent aluminum tube  and the fuel tank is 2 Pete 378 air cleaners cut and spliced together.

The decals are custom printed off Testor's paper and the large Chiefs decal is a car window sticker.

It is pretty big at almost 14 inches with a scale of about 1/15 or so.  Not super accurate to any particular scale as I modeled if off the football helmet and ball on the roof and the Lombardi trophy near the front tires.

It is so much easier to scratch build a unique truck then trying to replicate a real semi down to the proper hose placement on the engine.

The acrylic case is from Cases for Collectibles. A bit pricey, but they can make any size width or height.
