1966 Chevy Monster Truck
Posted by Olezippi on Monday, April 10, 2023 6:44 AM

I kit bashed the AMT HotWheels Monster truck and the Revell 1966 Chevy Fleetside pickkup.  The business end is sporting an Iceman Collections 565 cubic inch Blown Supercharged Hemi engine with 1,800 HP.  The whole top of the tube chassis was cut off and what was left was shortened 3/4" to fit the wheelbase of the 66 Chevy pickup.  To many mods to mention.  Body paint is Tamiya acrylic X-10 Gun Metal which was polished and no clear coat.  Chassis was painted with Tamiya TS-56 Brilliant Orange.  The engine, MSD box, and battery was wired.  I pulled the bench seat out of the 66 and put the race seat in the middle of the cab to give the driver a better view when he jumps the cars.  The gauge cluster, race seat, peddles, and steering wheel were from the Hot Wheels Monster truck.
