JTalmage Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Thanks guys. I'm waiting to get it back from the resin caster. That very intake will be for sale soon from a well known resin caster. I've been trying to find the urge to get back in to building again... I need to finish a lot of my stuff!

JTalmage Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Soon! I have to scratch build the frame from the cab back to match the show, and work w/ that useless C notch they did to the frame... ya know... I'm striving for accuracy, I'm just lazy. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTalmage Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Roadkill is awesome!! February the 7th there will be another episode. But your pics aren't working anymore Yep. I broke my photobucket yesterday... It's on the list of things to do... yeah, aint the frame on these trucks ridiculous? if you want a little bit more accuracy, run your new frame rails to the front of the cab, squarebody frames are pretty strait, front to back. i left the front half on to line everything up... 245_opt.jpg in retrospect, should have just made a whole new frame though.... I actually had a plan of something similar in mind. VERY similar. You practically read my mind on the hacking of the frame rails at the cab. I'll be updating this stuff soon hopefully.

502 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I picked up the 77 gmc plow truck a couple weeks ago. I plan to build it for the sleeperball on here kinda going along with the theme of the muscle truck. The frames are terrible. I dont know how much of a difference there is in them but by the time I got done hacking all the 4x4 stuff off I had to put a pretty good layer of putty on mine. It looks pretty good now. The pictures wouldn't show up for me on the previous page so I cant wait to see what else you've done. The muscle truck is one of my favorite roadkill vehicles.

JTalmage Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 The truck I'm using is the older Monogram/Revell Hot Rod truck... which strangely enough is a different scale than the current Revell GMC and pretty much 100% different than the new truck... I'd much rather have the newer frame! But I'll be repairing the links on my threads soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 You are a much better man than me. I bought one of those Revell Chevy's and gave it away after I opened the box. I have since gotten my hands on a MPC '78 annual. I like the stance of this truck, but I juast cannot bring myself to do a model that does not shine. I look forward to seeing how the project turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragfreak Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Did you ever make any progress on this build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTalmage Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 No, sadly. I've been working on a lot of my new kits instead of my rebuilders. But it's on the list. I'm working on the Crusher Camaro now, but I havent touched it in a few weeks. I also have to finish the General Mayhem as well. Soon.... Maybe after the Crusher is finished...
