Jared Roach Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 Looks good clay. Update on mine: I'm gonna be switch my entry from my jeep to a 65 chevy pick up, but I can't get pics up because my computer is really messed up. But I have the interior painted, chassis painted but not detalied and the cab and bed is almost ready for paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewaskew Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 HEADS UP This is for anyone that tries to change clips from other kits like the mustang clip that I put on my 53 truck. DO NOT USE BIGTIME BRAND KITS. I'm not knocking the company any way what so ever. The reason is this.I dont know what the problem is but I'm having a hard time making it bond to the plastic that the 53 is made of. Using crazy glue if that do'nt work its back to the start with a Revell kit. My CA glue may be to old,it did'nt work after sitting over night.

ewaskew Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Here's the latest. Got the hood changed over with the mustang hood blending in. The rear bumper has still got to be worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 That still looks amazing. I wish I had one of these jada mustang kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewaskew Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Well this is the latest. The rear bumper and light together just was'nt looking the way I wanted it to,so I cut the top half off'narrowed it then turned it up side down,then worked the fenders out to blend in. Then built the flush fit bed cover to cover up the full lentgh tubed wheel well so that I can get the height I want, it will be built low as if at a show. Next I will be droping the top , go'ing to get that rear window closer to the bed. Enjoy Thanks Earl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Again, I love it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Roach Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) Looking good! Can't wait to see it done. Update on mine: still don't have a computer, but did get the 65 painted today, and it looks really good. I'm gonna let it dry and then I'm gonna dullcote it, to match everything else. I'm going for a differerent look so when I get my computer back I'll get pics up right away, because I might have it back by early next week if everything goes well, and the truck might be done by then too.
