Just a plain simple truck no interior or detailing. Scratch built the interior, and steering wheel, and tonneau cover. The tuck and roll effect was done using round Plastruc rod. This was put on oversized then trimmed to fit. A pin was glued to the back of the wheel for the column. The wheel was cut out using a paper punch. The other interior is for another project. The wheels are from the 49 Woody in the background. Finished interior. Then accessories were added. tailites from small pins, along with the reveiw mirror, which is a pin also. Exhaust stacks were added, and a decal from a fingernail tattoo set was added to the cover. Finished result is this. Color is HOK Lime pearl.

Its a 1/1 truck and its absolutely real! What a wonderful scratch built and weathered truck is this !!!!! Well done. I cant believe that those seats look like real leather and all are rubbish !
