|  Clod customization- How to make a hood scoop and cab back.
Im working on a TTC rig and thought Id share how I made a custom hood scoop, filled the sunroof and made a cab back for it. I cut the body carefully to seperate it from the bed.  I cut a rectangular piece of styrene and two angled pieces for the sides and glued them together.  The cab back was easy. Once the cut was cleaned up on the cab, I just layed it on the styrene and traced the body, and cut out two of them. Then I cut some squares out of one of the pieces to make a contoured back.  Some Tenax77, Shoogoo and Gorilla CA glue to hold everything in place. Once all of that dried, I sanded it down, applied some glazing putty and let it dry.   Then I cut a thin strip of styrene out for the rib down the hood, and started sanding.   |

Now you need to make a pickup box trailer out of the leftover box.

So I got everything smoothed down and painted flat white in preperation for the color. Here's the finished product minus windows, signals, emblems, etc. I forgot to mention previously that I hacked off the lower portion of the front fenders to gain some tire clearance.     |
