1/24th Custome Blazer
I started with a 1/24th truck and a 2002 Escalade. Took the roof off the caddy and going to graft it on the truck. I just started this this afternoon so I'm just beginning the fun, I wish the real things were this easy to work on.
You can tell it's getting winter time, I have time to do this. Well LMK what you all think.

Anyone tried this yet?
I have been customizing these trucks for over a year now, has anyone built a sub yet? I would like to see it if you have. I did a panel last winter, but I haven't seen one in this scale. Here is a old one I did.

Custome Ideas
Smokin72on20s I started with a 1/24th Jada 72 truck.I bought off of the board over a year ago. Then I took it to a friends shop and dipped it in brake cleaner to strip the paint off. I cut the wood bed from balsa wood, cut the hood for the scoop, it came from a muscle machine car. I put escalde wheels on the back, because they are bigger than what comes on them. I made the wheel simulators myself. I used bondo putty to fill the body up, and filed off everything else, door handles, drip rails, gas filler cap, third brake light, which should be just a cargo light. I used Boyd Coddington paint by testors. I made the rear roll pan myself also and used the tail lights from the truck. Hope this helps
