Hey, guys!
The new Toons' contest is as good a reason as any to start up a kitbash and WIP thread, so here goes!
Just a teaser of something I'd been contemplating for some time:
Body mods should be along the line of the cHevy Passer (yep, that blue tape is foretelling the first cuts), but I'll be doing it up more as a street rod than a gasser (more on that as I progress ... ).
Time to start cutting!

First cuts yielded this:
I think I'll need to replace my bone saw before I do the next set.
Seems I've worn the teeth in the middle down a bit.

A couple more cuts to shorten the nose:
I was gonna shorten the tail as well, but I think I'll leave it as is to emphasize the wagon look.
Time to start stitching!

Sweet...You got it...don't shorten the rear quarter panel area...I'm ebayin' as(yekomss) some of my older 1/25 1/24 stuff to make room for cartoon stuff. I gotta keep a few of the common kits to put the "DW Never was" stuff onto my mental build list. Thanks for the inspiration...Cheers,Smokey

Not too bad.
Of course, there's still a bit of filling, filing, and correcting to do.
That's the chassis from the Bel Amino (turned upside down) it's sitting on for reference.
