mikemodeler Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Coming along nicely Brian, looking like the real thing! Those caps are a nice touch and those stacks look great. Hopefully the coming warmer weather will let you get it painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSDTrucker Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 This is an awesome looking build so far! Love the Detroit under the hood, always a nice touch in any truck in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one has to go back in the stripper again, the second coat wrinkled on me. I don't know if it's the cold or what but I'm going to switch paints too.

I'm sure that you'll get it to looking great. I like this project!! Stay warm! Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, twice into the stripper is unusual for me, normally I'd just buy another kit and start with a fresh body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowsportwagon Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Excuse my ignorance but what is the difference between an L and an LN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LN is the stock short hood version that comes in the kit, my L has a longer hood by about a foot. Notice how in my pics the front fender in all on the hood but in Brian's pics the rear portion of the fender mounts to the cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Brian Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 Once I got my nice paint it was time to dirty it up a bit. I got a little carried away with the salt on the frame so I had to do a similar job on the body. This one is getting close to being done, I just need to get the glass in the cab and the cab glued down so I can finish the exhaust piping. Then I will build the front bumper and rear tire chains and call it good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'm moving this one to Under Glass, it's as done as it's going to get for the foreseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, after spending so much time stripping it I kind of lost my mojo on it so it was a bit of a struggle to finish it. I started three other projects while this was soaking so my attention got spread out a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
