1965 Chevy Pickup & Hemi Hydro combo

It is a really good build, though. I understand about the gravity thing, though. I never thought of that.

How do you get the front end of the truck to stay down when you connect something to it's hitch? I have been wondering this for a while.

So far, it's not a problem. But I'm gonna have to add some weight to the bow of the boat, I've mocked up the boat and trailer with the truck and found the boat's engine causes the trailer to tip backwards off the hitch. Once I add that weight, it's probably gonna cause the truck's front end to pop up. I'll probably add some sinkers under the seat in the cab, at least I can hide a few in there with ease!

Ok, that is what I thought was done, or, at least one way. I was just wondering, as, when my roll back is complete, I may have issues putting a vehicle on it.

Hopefully, since the majority of the weight on a rollback is over the back 2/3rds of the vehicle, it won't be an issue, but I've never built one myself, so I'd add some weight under the seat just to be safe!

I found a battery in my parts stash...it was for a lowrider, so it was two batteries side by side. I sliced 'em in half and put a piece of styrene over the hole on the end, then drilled it out for cables....still gotta strip the chrome though!



The headers were buffed out, and they actually look pretty good!

Next, I grabbed what were supposed to be photo-etched hex-head nuts, and slid a pair of 'em over the fuel lines going to the carbs...





I made up a block to combine the fuel lines out of a piece of sprue, drilled three holes in it and added the lines...it's a bit big, but I'm not making another one!



And a close-up of how the photo-etched nuts look when installed on the carbs...I need some more of these babies, they look pretty convincing!
