microwheel Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Howdy everyone. Been almost a year since I've had the chance to get on the site let alone post anything. This was a project I worked on last summer and fall in between wifes health issues, camping and doing some upgrade work on our motor-home to prep it for retirement traveling. I didn't detail it to the level I normally do but I did do a little detail work, mostly in the engine bay. I used the 72 long box version and the 69 short box version of the kit combined to get the look I was after. Sorry if some of the pics are a little blurry. Thanks For Look  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microwheel Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Thanks alot. If you notice a spot of the hood where the paint seems to be missing. I dropped the hood when setting it up for the pics. I plan to fix it in a few days. just got alot going on right now so time isnt allowing me to take care of it.

microwheel Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Very nice and cleanly built,is the color factory or just the color you went with?.It wasnt a factory color that Im aware of. Unless you count that they would build some in a orange color for state and city road commissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im working on a dodge dart over on the cars workbench board. Its great to have time to be back in the hobby room but spring is coming fast and there is lots to do to the motorhome where spring finally does get here. One of our first trips late this summer is gonna be down around pigeon forge to see my step son. Never know if time permits, I could always pop in to say hello.
