Mblur05 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Bill, I love the Engine looks dead on, any chance you can cast another and send to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill lanfear Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Thanks Mark! PM me about the engine and other parts you are interested in. (I have 66 grill letters now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneckrigger Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 You REALLY should put together a kit of this whole truck as a conversion and offer it. AWESOME work sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill lanfear Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Thanks Tom, I do have most of the parts ready...except casting the tailgate. The master is done, just need to mold it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill lanfear Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Small update. I can't believe how slow this one is going! Not much to add but I got the bumper painted, weathered and installed, windshield installed, back glass finished with surround, interior finished and installed, grill installed, and began weathering and dirtying up the engine bay. I started the wiring on the firewall, painted and weathered the master cylinder and attached the brake line. I need to do the spear trim on the bed yet and of course the engine bay, exhaust, mirrors, door handles etc. Still have lots to do but its coming along! Thanks for following this slow build!

DaveP Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Great work with incredible detail. I especially like the dashboard. What do you use to make the molds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I use lego's for the box and clay for the base then two part smooth on liquid silicone for the mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Outstanding weathering and ageing on this build. Looks just like an old work truck in 1:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill lanfear Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Small update! This is probably the last shot on the workbench for this one! I got the rest of the trim on the bed and cab, the chains on the tailgate, made a toolbox for it, and made some wheels as I found I did not have any 6 lug stock rims. All that is left is Weathering the white on the box sides, mirrors, antenna, engine bay, front bumper, wipers, and door handles. Hope you like it, thanks for following this slow build and thank you all for your positive feedback....see you under glass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 This looks so realistic it makes me wonder if you might have an old work horse hanging around in your drive was. This is really spot on ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 First time I have seen this WIP, looks great! I have a project that I want to weather like this, will check back in for inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino246gt Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Looks awesome, love to see it all together, under glass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterNNL Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) Great work. I have to admire your dedication to this project and your ability to create the parts you don't have by making them yourself. Your weathering skills are superb and appear very realistic. Thanks for sharing. Edited June 28, 2019 by misterNNL Misspelled work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
