Gumball Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 It's just currently sitting together right now. I'm thinking of lowering it a little more and giving it a little more of a rake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumball Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 Iv been thinking of something new and interesting to do for this kit, and I think I found it. Somewhere in the "tips and tricks" I found a post where someone used tube aluminum and wrapped solder around it to make a turbo. So that's what I eventually did. I also drilled a hole into the fender for a neat exit for the exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumball Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Needs still a hell of alot of sanding, but at least it's coming along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumball Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 Although the majority being completely different from my original intentions, the truck is coming along fairly well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belugawrx Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Those flares are starting to look the part Johnny ! The roll bars look a little large, to my untrained eye. how did you accomplish the GOODYEAR stencil on the tires ? Looking good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumball Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Funny enough the Goodyear came that way from the box, although I could lie to you and say that I trained on some mountain top to hand paint Goodyear on the tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumball Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) I just couldn't resist the BRE datsun colours, just need to find myself some racing numbers and sponser decals to put on the side of this. Not bad for a rattle can paint job though I could have done it a little bit better. Edited March 24, 2020 by Gumball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumball Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) The pictures don't do much justice to how good the clearcoat turned out, but hopefully when it drys I can take a better photo with the bed and cab together Edited March 25, 2020 by Gumball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumball Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 The datsun is complete, now just to finish the trailer. Im just waiting on a few things for the trailer first. But when the trailer is finally done I will be putting this truck and trailer under glassunder glass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumball Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 The trailer is almost done. for some reason the wheels don't want to stay glues on. otherwise the truck itself is done, I would like to upload them together under glass anyways.
