Finally done enough on this to consider it finished!
Started with an old chopped up Ice T, chopped it up some more and then glued some of it back together. Added some panels. Then, lotsa smoothing...
Tried to keep a couple of the Ice T pieces in play. The tranny was altered to fit with mega springs.
The scoop swapped for the DW biggun (and not just because I lost the original scoop long ago). Diamond Dust with chrome highlights on it and the tanks. Tires are a narrowed set of resin casts, with craft bin bits for the wheels and moons. Custom bed boards from coffee stirrers, stained and cleared.
That cockpit is so shallow, the driver slid out some time back
Thanks for lookin!

Great little "Icee T" , you sure have a knack for chopping things up and making them better than before ! I like that you're casting your own DW tires in different widths , sure makes things easier .

Thanks, guys!
Just an update. It was bugging me, after looking at my post, that the front hub moons looked bigger than the back. An optical illusion, since they are really the same size, but I still wanted to correct it. So, here it is with a new, smaller front set.

Great build. I'd by this in kit form if I saw one on the shelf.
