'68 Pete Rat Utility

Started this one a few weeks ago, after having a brainstorm of what to build with the Jimmy Flintstone resin '68 Pete Rat pick up.
The Midnite Cowboy has turned out to be the perfect Donor kit.

This is gonna turn into an interesting project. Have you given thought to possibly using the Frame and such from the Ford F350 Dually kit? It has a longer frame and much easier to stretch if needed. Just a thought. I'm on board and watching for sure.

Don't have that kit Jason, so did it the hard way. Cut the Cowboy frame up.



And SREEEEEEETTTTCCCCCCHHHHHHHH it.

Bruce awesome work. This looks sooooo cool. I love the idea.. hell even thou that's just primer I love the color for it lol

Great start and an awesome subject. You got my attention.

Thanks. Put 2 coats of primer ( Different colors) and a top coat of white acrylic to weather it. Stripped the chrome and shot with aluminum.

Pulled my plumbing kit out and painted the ladder and cleaned up some of the props.


Now, have to have a ladder rack to put it on.



Wet sanded the white, till primer started showing.


Then started with the grime.

Sweeeeeet !!

Very awesome. dfog did you open the doors on the truck box or is that a black wash in the cracks. Hard to tell from here.

Black wash ;)

:cheers:

Great work so far! I'm glad to see you using what you got to build this stunning build. The weathering is coming out great! Super job! :)

Man that looks freaking sweet!!! So nice great work man.

Thanks guys. Here where she stands so far.

Still have to weather the rack.

Matt coat the interior.



Cut the hood off, so need to build a cowl flange and plumb the air breathers.

Thanks Clay

Looks just like a well used old maintainance truck. Great job on this one Bruce.

This is something different. Nic work Bruce. The weathering looks great!

Lookin' awesome! Love it! Great weathering and I sure can't wait to see more on this stunning work of art. :)

Terrific work and weathering!!!!!

Worked a little on the weathering today. Next will be to finish the lettering and details.

That looks so much like a well used truck. Nice work Bruce.

Thanks Buck. It's much like my 1:1 work truck, when I worked there.

This is turning out to be killer Bruce. I love it. Keep it up. I can't wait to see this one finished.
