I got them from a 1:32 scale truck I had around that was falling apart. It was a snap kit. From a long time ago.

Thanks, Clay. I kinda figured they were 1/32 scales, but those are the best I've seen from a snap kit!

Actually, I remember now it was one of those kits that you screw together.

[Jared Roach]

Wow guys they're looking good!

Clay,
Your choice is good, this color really nice.

Donnie,
I love Blazer. I look forward to seeing it finished.

Another 55 pickup. I have a twist on it.. I chopped and painted it a couple of years back, but put it away. So thanks to Clay and Tonio...I've got the urge again. So what is different. Well I had it painted and it looked like a blob..a bright purple blob. So into the pond it went and came out back the way it was. So I've Z'd the rear frame and cut out the bed, made a wooden bed for it, cut the running boards and refit the floor and cab. I also reversed the tailgate, cut out pockets in the rear where a pair of 52 caddie taillights will poke out. I've also fitted the trailer hitch to it, needs to be finished and attached.

This is where I started...



got it stripped down re did the hood hinge , shaved the running boards, and lowered the body in the rear and made a wood bed for it

[MikeMc]

Much better...









this one is now sporting a 427 SOHC. the body is going to be smoothed , primed , and painted.
The wheel centers will be done at the same time.
I love Diamond Dust as a base...gotta look thru the kandies now

[Airfilter]

MikeMc,
looks good so far.

[Airfilter]

Little update. I made it the new mirrors, and the bracket. I added 4 lights, and I changed the wheels.




Pali

i have a partially build pick'm'up truck that i started for a different CBP

i beleive the 4 rules of that build were
1 has to be a truck made after 1960
2 has to have a stock bed
3 has to be a V8 engine
4 has to be done before the dead line


here is what my entry was






its a 1956 VW bug converted to a front engine rear wheel drive pick'm'up with a custom turbod GTI swap and scratchbuild bed
(my initial entry was a joke just ragging on the rules and whoever was in charge allowed it because of how ridiculous it is)

clearly i managed to break every rule


woudlnt hurt to finish this one

[Airfilter]

diymirage,
Good idea, and nice work so far.
