This reminds me on my T-Bucket. I built it decads ago ([img1]) and restorated it a couple years ago ([img2]). Nice to see your with this barrel as fuel tank.

Hi Christian, I see what you mean - mine is closer in style to your original build. I'm new to these very American kits, but it seems that with serial updates and reissues over many years it is not uncommon to find bonus parts lurking on the sprues. Ideal for hot rods and it makes for really fun builds when there is no right or wrong way to finish the kit. I thought I was being clever with the front axle but you had already done exactly the same thing! One question though: did you find assembling the suspension as much of a pain as I did?

To answer the question: yes. The chassis is kind a tricky somehow. I was glad, that I restored the whole thing and didn't have to take the chassis apart.
I'm a big fan of the old kits. Mostly they have a lot of parts to built your individual model kit. Tis kit is great. There are a lot of possibilities included.
And: the parts can be used on other model kits. You can change the engines how you like it. That is so cool. My kit also had this barrel but I wanted to have the "short" rear end instead. I laid the barrel on the side to use it somewhere else.
Yours looks great. I like the fresh color and how it works together with the chromed and golden parts. Very nice.
