I've been looking for a picture of a built model of this 1:1 Mafia Mixer. Will I find one? Has anyone here ever made one or is in the process? Attachments:

I like this one too - I saw a pic of it on here a while back and immediately started building it in my head - I was thinking a Beer Wagon would be a pretty good basis for getting started on this. I did some research and could only find one more pic of this anywhere (on here, in fact)  I'd love to hear more about the 1:1 if anyone knows about it! This would be a great scale build! |

Thanks for your response. I'm surprised no one built one yet. It doesn't look too difficult. I have all the parts I'd need. Unfortunately I think more than I build lol  |

This is all I have.   Might want to save them, before photobucket holds them for ransom. |

Hmmmm.......to me this looked like an interesting kitbash opportunity for one of our clowns here......I saw it,and I liked it,I just haven't attended "Kitbashing school 101"........It's outta my league.....
But hey,maybe someone here can do it!!!! LOL
Two kits pictured below:  I think it would be cool for someone here to do.....These two kits with a few extra from the parts box this showrod could be achieved/built in model kit form!!!!!

This is really cool Dave, I love it! Great concept and execution!
What are "Grandt Line NBW castings"? Something model-railroad-y, I'm guessing?

Nut Bolt Washer castings that are model train parts.....you see them on the posts. At one time they were easy to find at hobby shops....today I order direct. thx |

If you can scare up a copy of the April 1977 issue of Truckin' magazine, there is a feature on the truck in that issue, and a small cover picture.

Oh wow, nice find Paul! I figured that would be WAY too obscure of a magazine to just be able to buy as easily as that |

Good lead Brian, thanks! Do you have a copy? I do, but it's buried in storage right now. You can usually find most older issues of Truckin' on eBay for under $15, though. Brian |

I know your post is almost a year old, but if you are still interested I will supply all the pictures you need of this vehicle if we can work out a deal for scale model! The vehicle is actually sitting in our shop waiting to be restored.
