samdiego Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) Thanks, guys! The ladder is some scrap balsa from a ship model, toothpicks and some photoetch for the hinges and spreader bracket that I still need to add to the side that's showing in the pics. I've also figured out that removing the mounting flanges and putting the windshield in from the outside is way easier than following the instructions. I'll also be putting that front bumper back on for the third time. Edited July 18, 2019 by samdiego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino246gt Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Looks great, and very cool ladder! I'd love to see that windshield fitted from outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckyg1 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Wow, I like this a lot. Gotta pick one up before they're gone. What paint did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdiego Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 The paint is Odds and Ends "Rain Drop" And Tamiya white. Rain drop is pretty close the Ford green from '66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samdiego Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 Odds and Ends is under the Krylon brand. Found it at Hobby Lobby. I've heard that at least part of that line is the remnants of Pactra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Where did the vise come from? I like what you have done with this truck, could definitely see a sign painter having Cragars on his work truck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a 50 year old parts stash. I'm vaguely remembering a van kit from the 70s that had tools, maybe 1/20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
