first post - kit bash

[sickplastix]

hey all, glad to have found such a great board. figured i'd go for the throat here to see if i'm doing alright with this one. its a bash between a revell max rat malibu kit and an amt/ertl 72 cheyenne pick up, oh, and the "hood ornament" is from a 55 vette parts box i had laying around. obviously the body work has a long way to go still, but i just finished cutting the bed down to size to match up with the maxrat frame. the frame and undercarraige in the truck kit were horrible, almost snap kit like. anyway, like to see what you all think. any hints/tips would be greatly appreciated also.

Love kitbashing!!!
Can't tell from yer photo angle, rear tire looks serious. Are you prostreeting this?

[sickplastix]

thanks guys, i will look into the photobucket account.

gezzer, yeah, pro street all the way. the rears are pretty thick. i'll try to get a pick of the underside up after i start up on photobucket.

btw, the engine is also from the 55 vette parts box.

truck is going to be purple, same purple as the frame seen here. i will also probably be doing a ghost tribal flame on it as well to spice it up.
