Definitely looking good so far. I’m going to have to give that Revell chrome spray a try.

It's worth it. Pricey indeed, but the results are better than kit chrome! Just thoroughly let it dry, and don't clear coat it.

Couldn't sleep, so I got to working on this project full force! Tomorrow I will paint up a lot more parts I hope. But here's what I've got done so far: 

-Cool mural under the hood

-Frame warning decals as well as all the shocks, airbags, and battery box covers

-Turbo installed on the engine, pulleys/belts on, and some engine spec decals. 

 

My hope for tomorrow is to paint all the engine piping/radiator fan/misc pieces, and install the engine into the frame. Then get the rear fenders glued and mounted, rims and tires installed, and paint the interior panels up. It's a lot for one day, but I think I can do it

Busy weekend so far, and still one more day left. It may be done tomorrow, we'll see! This truck has been testing me though. Hit 2 major roadblocks, but got around it for now I think. There's too much to type out, so I'll just let do the pictures do the talking

Thank you everyone for the comments! I enjoy reading the feedback👍

 

So here's where I stand at the end of this weekend. I have no idea how, but I ran out of glue and can't find my spare tube 🤦 so this project is on hold until I get more this week. By Friday, this build will be finished! It's been kicking my ass, but it's shaping up exactly how I envisioned it. 

Here's another big photo dump, enjoy!

Tell us about those pedals. They look great, amongst so many other nice details.

Thank you!

So the pedals are from an AMT KW W925. I modified them slightly around the edges, and then added AMT 359 steering wheel decals to the pedals👍
