I actually made an attempt to do the stripes but when I tried to do the hood i couldnt get the wrinkles out around the air vents. I like how they look with out the stripes anyway.
This is just an out of box build except for the wheels (thanks revell for not including tires that will not fit the front wheels). The paint is Testors one coat blazing black over bare plastic and no clear coat.
I finally have a 1.1 vehicle. Its a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 with about 55,000 miles on it. It use to belong to my grandparents and they only drove it when the went out of town. It started to get hard for my grandpa to park it so they bought an 08 colorado and sold this to me. It sucks that I dont have my license though
Well, it's done. My conversion of a silverado 1500 into a 2500. I have a work in progress thread if you want to see the progress on this. here are some pics.
Got quite a bit of work done this time.Both the interior and the cab is finished is finished. the wheels are attached. now im trying to sand the orange peel off of the left side of the bed. here are some mock up pics. sorry about the bad pics, they were taken with my cell phone
Its cool, I know it doesnt look like a 6.6. I changed my plan from making it look like a 6.6 to making it look like a smaller diesel V8, sortof like GM's 4.5 duramax. I'm thinking of putting something like 5.3 Duramax on the engine cover.
Got some more work done on the truck. I'm almost done with the chassis except for the exhaust and the wheels, which I have finally picked out a set for it. I wasn't planning on getting wheels this big but i like 'em. I also enlarged the lower section of the grille due to a dremel tool accident. I think it turned out pretty good though.
