mvadrag Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I added this build to the trucks section because of the pickup bed on this tried but true Revell kit. I built this model in the late eighties or early nineties (based on the color and graphics). I used an orange plastic version of this kit and added the independent suspension from the Revell Buttera Tee sedan. Engine bits came from the Revell Corvette Pro Street along with the graphics decals. Wheels and tires from a MPC Chevy Monza with an IMSA fender package. Looks like one of the front wheels is wonky from a repair over the years and the epoxy on the front lights has yellowed. Still a survivor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Thibodeau Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Hi José! Nice rod, and the color combo/graphics really scream late 80's. Those Buttera suspensions are tricky to build, but look so great. Bravo! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldcarfan27 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Was that the Tweedy Pie/Rodfather kit? That came out nice. I really like the suspension swap from the Buttera kits, I'll have to do that on one of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Revell version I used was simply called "T" Bucket and had funky dual headlights. I cut off the outside lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked it when I built it. I just don't finish as many models as I used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
