I started working on this last fall. The chassis will eventually be part of a Model-T based tow truck, hence the solid rubber tires on the rear.
The model was started from the AMT Double-T kit, but has many more scratch built parts and details added. The metal rod was eliminated in the front axle. Brass was used to create steering knuckles, tie rod and drag link for fully functioning steering right up to the steering wheel. Brass was also used for steering column, throttle and spark controls, hand brake lever, brake rods and control pedals. Other details are made from styrene and aluminum.
Green for the engine is a mix of Testors green enamel toned down with some black and white. Wheels were primed and then painted with a base coat of pale yellow enamel. this was followed by artists oils to create the faux wood grain. Once fully dry, the oils were sealed with semi-dull coat. Wheel rims are sprayed with Tamiya green synthetic lacquer and Floquil black and silver for details.
This is an earlier shot of the chassis with the scratch built wrecker boom in the back ground. Battery and muffle/exhaust pipe and running board braces were also made from scratch.
thanks for looking
