bryan_m Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 OK FELLAS! i finally had a minute to sit down, and actually fool around with an old build. my 55 panel truck. i started this build about 100 years ago.......i was diggin through some old stuff, and ran across it. it caught my eye because i had plans of making the headlights and tail lights work (the headlights are now functional)....... i opened the back doors as well, and it will be SLAMMED on the ground. the wheels and tires came from an old diecast car i had layin around, i painted them "gunmetal" i wanted this truck to have that "blacked out" look.... i apologise for the horrible pics in advance gentlemen, im not workin at my bench, im sitting in my living room watchin tv and doing this..... ok on to the pics. originally it was shot with black primer, but now, im gonna go with red primer, and satin black over it, and of course with a little bit of rust here and there. here you see the white grille, and yes the headlights do work. ive sanded it all with 1000 grit so i can shoot the primer...... again sorry for the bad pics guys! here are the wheels im using, and yes it will sit this low! im going to deepen the door lines with a scribing tool, and make a nice hinge for the hood. i also have to make the jambs and hinges for the rear doors.... more to come, thanks for lookin guys. im going to shoot the primer on it now................after i get the dust off of it! LOL cheers! bryan m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"1613 AUTOWORKS". but im not sure yet, i havent thought that far ahead. it definetely needs something to break up all that space..... cheers bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 That's cool Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan_m Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 thanks you carl! one bad thing about it though...........its 1/24th scale, not 1/25. so finding an appropriate engine to cram in there will be tough.to me when you mix engines from different scales it doesnt look right...........unless youre putting a 1/24th engine into a 1/25th car! then it looks like a monster in there. ive got plenty to choose from though.....hopefully i will be back at it in the morning, but for now...........its sleepy time for me....... thanks again guys cheers bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
