Doing a replica of my new (to me) '93 Chevrolet Cheyenne C1500 pickup. Wanting it to be fairly well detailed so I have been working at it slowly, anyway:

The 1:1

[Nick Winter]

The 1:25th (So Far)

Hey nick I can't wait to see this build! The truck looks great so far and it looks to be coming along good so far.

[JustBill]

Nick man, for a '93 that's a great looking clean truck! Looks like it was a one owner and garage kept. I look forward to seeing your build for it.

[Nick Winter]

Thanks guys, actually Bill I'm owner #4, though the man who I bought it from had it from '95 on, but it has never been garaged, it's always been a winter driver, just has been very well maintained by all the previous owners and I plan to keep that tradition going.

wow, your 1:1 truck is very clean, much cleaner than my 2003 1:1 truck I can't wait to see your 1:25 one

I had a new 95 GMC What a great truck they had with that body style. We put almost 300,000 miles on it most of the time pulling a race car trailer. It never had a real problem. I will be following this build.

[Nick Winter]

Thank you Luc and Jim, Anyway, progress in 1:1 and 1:25th
1:25th first: Did a loose mockup and finished off the tires, In september the 1:1 is getting a set of the Wranglers.



1:1, New Distributor cap & Rotor as well as Plug's and Wires.


Reason why it was hard to start on damp or cold days. Distributor rotor was severely corroded

[MicroNitro]

looks like it was time for a tune up

[Nick Winter]

Sure was, Runs like new now. Threw a set or Champion Double Platinums in it and used my NAPA discount to get NAPA premium Cap & Rotor, already had the Champion silicone plug wires.

that a very nice 93 ck truck before the airbag wheel but love 88 to 98 cks its got a 305 or 350ci

[Nick Winter]

305, Non Vortec, just the way I like it.

Looks like you're off to a good start, Nick. Great job lettering those tires. One good part about building a replica of your 1:1 is you just have to walk outside for references. I'll be watching.

Yeah they are good trucks. I actually like the look of the airbag wheel, at least the one up to '02. Only thing that sucks is it's harder to add an aftermarket wheel.

Build is looking good so far Nick, I always love replica builds since it can be interesting to see how people make parts that aren't found in kit form already.

[Nick Winter]

Thanks Hugh and Jordan.

Hugh, your very right, and with me replacing all kinds of parts on the 1:1 I also have seen things most wouldn't,

Jordan, I'm lucky, not to many things I have to scratchbuild on this one. only things I can think of are Headrests, tonneau cover, Exhaust, A/C system, Portion of the Air Cleaner and a few mix detail items.

Nick

[crazyjim]

Interesting, Nick. Keep it going.

[Nick Winter]

Finished a few parts:





Started modifying the interior:


And ran across a problem, compare the below door panel to the above.


So Scratchbuilding some new door panels tonight.

[Nick Winter]

More Work.
