Re: Egyptian Raider Pick up

well after going thru about 6-9 trucks decided to go with the 1965 chevy pickup, getting some resin casting on and finally getting a feel for this build.

Re: Egyptian Raider Pick up

ok getting back into this one, spent some time opening up the doors, I really did not want to do it but it gives such good access to the interior by doing this so I went for it.





also playing with ideas for the trailer with the 32 on it which I will call the pharaohs rat rod, it wont leave much space for the other goodies taken from the tomb but ill figure that one out later......

Re: Egyptian Raider Pick up

Finally getting somewhere on this build and have a small update.

decided to go for cutting out the doors....

this is just an idea, it may stay this way or go another route, this is the part of the build of just playing around with it to gain ideas.......

another idea for the bed, mocking it up and toying with ideas....

mock up of the engine, mummy machine air cleaner and pulleys from the ends of guitar strings.

Re: Egyptian Raider Pick up

Small update i gave up on the 65 and went back to the 50 chevy and here a little update, getting work done on cleaning up parts and working on trailer. A few different ideas for the trailer...




making an interior with a hieroglyphic back drop may do that on the 32 as well.

Re: Egyptian Raider Pick up

Did a mock up of what the trailer may look like. I know it would be very heavy if 1 to 1 and hard to get the car on the top layer but I went from just having the truck and trailer with all the loot to adding the 32 so needed a car trailer then when the car is on the trailer there is no room for all of the loot that I have collected, that is why I added the top layer. Will have to give it more thought I may just go back to my original idea of the trailer of loot and forget the car not sure at this point. any suggestions or ideas at this point would be appreciated.

Re: Egyptian Raider Pick up

small update on this build, got over the top and decided the double decker trailer was kinda to over the top so decided to scale it back a bit, so it will be two trailers instead, one with the '32 and one with the sarcophagus with walls for a tomb with hieroglyphics on the side, also have some more work done on the interior....
