o-man Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Been working on this for past few months for another forum's best of the decade build off. Used this kit,Like others have said, everything isn't perfect with this kit. The firewall doesn't let hood sit flat. Speaking of hood, mine was somewhat warped. Maybe I put oil pan on backwards, bot pin in chassis didn't line up with hole in oil pan.Other frustrations didn't come from kit, but came from me! If I could lose a part, I did. Misplaced door panels so I ordered new from Moebius. Right before I took these pictures, I found them. One of headlight lens walked off grill, plus I misplaced upper radiator hose while taking pictures!Painted truck with grey primer followed by several coats of Duplicolor Wimbledon White, followed by a few coats of Krylon clear. Didn't want an overly shiny finish; wanted it look like an older re-spray.Enough rambling, on with the pictures, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
