DWNW Surf-burban

[TooOld]

This is what we call a Deal's Wheels Never Was. It's a Jimmy Flintstone Resin body with chrome parts from a Revell '66 Pickup kit .
After enlarging the rear wheel openings and some paint I mounted the body on an old Deal's Wheels chassis , added the chrome , and printed a few decals for it . The front wheels and caps are from the pickup truck kit while I made the larger rears myself . I also fabricated the roof rack and surfboards .

The finishing touch was to modify some Silly Surfer vinyl figures to be the Surf-burban owners !
I really had some fun with this one , hope you all like it !



This is the resin shorty body . . . not sure what it was originally intended for .



More pics . . . thanks for looking !

I don't know Bob your at it again! Superb everything! Is it a recent Flintstone bodyshell? It's OK I've seen one on their website, I just need the chrome grill. What I'll have to do is buy another Glitter Bug to get the base!

Wow. That is very cool. Lots of imaginations and a great build all around. Well done!

I've contacted JF for a shipping quote, but although I went through their method, onto cart and checkout, but no price came up. I've contacted them again but no answer so far.
