Clay Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Well guys, I have been working on this one for about a week, tweaking this, shaving that, and this is where I am at. I shaved the hood, getting rid of the rib going down the center, got rid of the front emblem too. Hinged the hood, used the last of my brass rods though Lowered the front and rear suspension. Let me know what you guys think. Edited December 20, 2010 by Clay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Winter Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Looks pretty cool so far Clay, glad to see I'm not the only one who has removed the center rib from the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and Sublime Green. Here are a few examples of each color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I like the way you hinged the hood forward, Clay. I have a '56 Effie on the wrokbench and I need to try a hinge like yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Roach Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I also think the blue will look better on your truck, it's looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) I am still debating. Not sure yet. I will have to see what it looks like on the wheels and tires I have picked out. Edited December 20, 2010 by Clay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Winter Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Paint looks great, although that trailer has some issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 I think I am going to stay with a dull cote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I like the dulled blue. I might have to use this, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Sprayed the dull cote, I like it. I see that the bed or cab is crooked, I will have to find out why that is tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Paint looks great, although that trailer has some issues Yeah I have no idea why I have been putting it on there for pictures... I could have at least picked the nice one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 You are really cranking them out Clay, this one looks great! I would think you would have the models packed up for the move North by now but am glad that you haven't ! Keep them coming, I need some motivation! Thanks again for your service and have a Merry Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 Little update, Finished this for the truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Are you going to finish the inside of the trailer and make a diorama thing out of it? There's a good post on here somewhere (I don't search so good) about making a hitch receiver for the truck if you don't have one already.

Clay Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 Nah, just going to use it for builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 I DO like that blue, but the paint shop needs to get that trailer cleaned up if they want repeat business on these customs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
