Well....I finished it, but depending on time zones I'm not sure if I made the dead line though. Going to post it anyway, just let me know if I missed it and knock me out if I did.

I present to you my Munster truck.
Built using an AMT Munster's Coach and an AMT USA-1 monster truck for the chassis and engine.
Centered the body to the wheel base then relocated the engine and trans rearward so the engine would sit in the Munster Coach engine bay. Also notched out the top of the cowl so the carbs would clear. Used the Munster Coach exhaust on the USA-1 engine. For the front bumper I narrowed the USA-1 bumper.

Thanks guys.
This was a build idea I got about a year ago and decided it was time to pull the trigger on it for this MOTM theme.
I've been looking at the other builds this month and totally agree that this is going to be tough to decide. I'm still picking at them and can't decide which to vote for.

Really enjoyed doing this one. Although I didn't get to do some of the details I intended to do, I am still really happy with it.

I cut the ends off the bumper at an angle then trimmed the end caps to fit and re-glued them back on.
