AD Model
MARTINSR gave me an Ertl scale model AD panel truck piggy bank. Over the last week I undertook to make it a clone of my full-size panel, including a front and rear lowering job and satin black paint. Here's the before pics; compare it to my real truck!

Re: AD Model
Thank gentlemen! I'm hoping MARTINSR sees this because he gave me the toy truck.

Re: AD Model
That is just too cool. Nice work on tucking the wheels inside the fenders were they belong.

Re: AD Model
When I was building my 57 AMT released a model of a 55. Of course I bought it, painted it the same color as my truck, and set it up on display. My truck is powered by a smallblock with crossfire injection so when I was at a swap meet several years later and spotted a partial model of an '84 Vette with Crossfire I picked it up. I took the '55 off the shelf and proceeded to do an engine swap, going as far as matching the Vette engine to the truck transmission. Several years ago AMT released a '57 Chevy pickup model so I used the grille and hood ornament to convert the '55 to a '57.
Meanwhile the real truck languishes, waiting until I have time to install the Hydravac, OEM sway bar, and NVG4500.

Re: AD Model
Daaaamn that is cool! You nailed it!
I have six unbuilt kits of an AD that I hope to build someday in the different versions my truck has been since new, think it will be quite a project but fun as hell. Brian
