Its been a while since I have posted on this website, I'm trying to get back into the hobby again, since my son is now older and hopefully wont mess with them after I finish them lol.








The body sitting in primer



All the parts also in primer





The bed sitting in primer as well.

Comments are more than welcome, trying to make it a nice truck.

hey would you be interested in trading the grill from you silverado for the custom one that came in the silverado + jetski kit?

[ModlerChris1987]

Do you have pics of the grill? I might be willing to trade but i will say this now it has been painted.

[ModlerChris1987]

Well an update on the truck, the body is sitting in color and I'm hoping that I can get pics of it tonight, there is a spot on the bed that is starting to orange peel so I have to sand that bed down to hopefully fix it.

[elitebuilder739]

would like to see this wen it done thinkin bout buildin this 1 myself

[ModlerChris1987]

I need to post more pics up of the body, it is currently sitting in color but thinking it may needed to be sanded some more. But I will post more on this tomorrow, going to be doing a different wheel option on it and instead on the back seats I'm going to put in a sub box.

sounds good cant wait

[ModlerChris1987]

If anyone can find me a hood for this truck that don't have that hood scoop on it, I would love it. I'm really not digging the hood scoop on it....

[relaxednoma]

I've got a OEM hood for a stock Z71 style silverado model that I have (I have one of these as well) that I'd happily trade for this kits hood. 

[ModlerChris1987]

I'll do it, but the kit hood is currently painted

[ModlerChris1987]

The body and the bed are sitting in the purple pond, paint was getting messed up. How long should Iet it sit? The interior color is almost done. Needing to get pics up soon but keep forgetting lol

[ModlerChris1987]

[relaxednoma]

the rims I'm thinking of using

[ModlerChris1987]

The body pic saying in primer is supposed to be the white base. Apparently I lost the interior tub and need a new one, anyone have one I can trade parts for?

[ModlerChris1987]

Got the body and bed painted with Testors Lime Ice one coat laquor needs to be wet sanded and another coat. Decided that I'm keeping the aftermarket rims it comes with, just de chromed them and currently painting the gunmetal grey

[kilrathy10]

Looks great...Sorry you had the paint issues on this one...I hate it when that happens...Just keep after it, Man...

[ModlerChris1987]

Oh I am, I found my missing parts so now I'm going forward, some how the 2 pieces I was looking for where in my freezer.... Well at least I got them. The body and bed are both in color just waiting for them to dry to take pics of it.

[ModlerChris1987]

the aftermarket rims de chromed and painted with Tamiya Gun Metal


the body and bed in the final whit base. Masked off the engine bay so I don't get the one coat laquor in there
