Last night I finished this one after 3 years! I stripped the bright red finish from this with Paul's Pines and repainted with Duplicolor Self Etching Primer and Duplicolor T164 Dark Blue Metallic. I cleared this with Folk Art HiShine Glaze. I buffed it out with 12,000 grit and plain Colgate toothpaste after about a week. The tailgate inner is missing but it'll be displayed with the tailgate and doors closed.  I also had to foil the mirror lenses since they came off with the paint removal.  I managed to match the gray trim on the tailgate close enough to not have to do all the trim like the orange one 3 years ago!
The kit.

This is based on something I did when I was about 13 or 14.  I had an MPC '78 Corvette with the wheels and suspension all busted up.  I also had an MPC Super Snap Blazer with a screwed up body.  I took what was left and just stuck them together.  
But that was then and I no longer have that build.  This one's a little bit nicer!  NOTE:  This is FINISHED!  I'm describing the modificationsI I made to build it!

This is a Jimmy Flintstone resin body to be used with Revell '68 or '69 Corvette kits.  The interior, central section of the Corvette floorpan, firewall, master cylinder,hood, and taillights  are from a Revell '69 Corvette parts kit.  

The chassis itself is from a built Monogram Jeep CJ7 with a hopelessly trashed body.  The engine, axle assemblies, and steering shaft are from another Monogram CJ7 kit.  

Here's the body after I decided to make the hood a flip front.

The '69 Corvette kit hood and a custom option nose cone from an MPC '78/'79 Corvette kit are  Super Glued to the fender unit.  The SD body had a short shot along the nose cone though I don't have a picture of it.


The axles the Jeep kits use have gaps on top of them!  

I added pieces of pumpkins from the parts box in case they'd be seen when done.

Here's the Silverado Sport Truck I finished yesterday.  It's box stock though possibilities are endless.
