I would like to find some better material to make the radiator hoses out of then it will be ready for the Good Guys show :)


Automotive vacuum line works for the radiator hoses. It is more flexible and the appearance is closer to real than the kit hose.

How are you going to be able to drive it every now and then to keep it in running order if you don't have a CDL? What about insurance?

If you are not using the truck commercially, just transporting it to shows, cruising around town, etc you don't need a CDL. You can tag and insure it as a private vehicle also. If it's over 30 years old most states have an option to tag it as an antique.

PS, It would make a cool motor home ...

I've used Evercoat Ever-Glaze spot putty on 1/1 cars before I got back into the hobby and it just naturally came along for the ride. It's fast drying, spreads smooth and sands easily. I've never had a problem with cracking or shrinkage. You will need to prime the plastic before applying. You get a 16 oz tube for around $10.00 at your local auto parts store.

Pick up a cheap flour sifter from the Dollar store or Wally World.

They work great for mixing different colors of flocking too.
