Hmmm, I found this Ice T I'd chopped up way back, and thought, "Maybe it was time for a Deal's Wheels Never Was line C-cab kind of rod ..."
We shall see....

Thanks, guys. I'll be working this one a little bit at a time, since I hadn't really fleshed it out in my mind totally before starting.
There were two other considerations, now back burnered, but with definite potential:
One that looks like a modified racer (I'll need to start casting some Malibu/Phonycar engines ):
And the other that plays with the fact that Dave did the box art:
(calm down boys... that Moon Mixer is a junkyard find!). Thinkin' it would be a good place for working in a Glitter Bug or Van engine, or maybe piecing together a wonky Corvair unit.

Smokey, my friend, this set of Deal's Wheels fatties are from a Funster Racer (the repop of the McLapper).

Hard to believe I haven't posted in months! Lazy 
I pick this one up, wrestle with it, put it aside. Repeat. To that, here's some work along the way on this one.
Narrowed the front cowl:
Decided to reattach the front end and shorten the cab to allow the roof to overhang:
Closed up the hood and the bottom of the body:
and the back of the cab:
A different axle setup to allow the DW tires to get in closer to the body, and (mis)aligning the tanks:
As it sat the last time I took pics (got lazy again). With side pipes and intake mockup:
There's been other work since, but... life..... laziness...

Cool! Dig how you kept the side pods too. Fun build for sure. I like the ol' moon mixer's big wheels too.
