502 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 I have more pictures coming soon, I will have them within the next night or so. I got the body in paint today. The truck is going to be a faded out gloss black with mulitple other colors showing through. I got some white, blue, red primer, and some gray primer that I am going to sand out. I cant wait to start sanding but Im going to give it a day or so before I mess with it. I dont want to have to paint it again. I am building this for a contest May 11th so I am going to have a lot more updates in the next few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
502 Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Heres what I have so far. Its not exactly what I was going before but then again Im not dissapointed in it either. Any suggestions are welcomed. Edited April 19, 2013 by 502 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 It looks pretty crusty and cool so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
502 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 I picked up a weathering kit at hobbytown the other day and I think it made the truck. I was skeptical on the powders at first but they really work well. I put the bed on there just to show the difference between the cab being weathered more. It also got new wheels from the revell 65 chevy stepside. I am going to put a wood floor in the bed also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
502 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 I got the LS done and ready to be put in but with no room to spare. I had to modify the firewall and tunnel to get it in. I will get some pictures of the engine and bed tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I love the weathering and the stance. I think the modern wheels and tires do not look as nice as the white walls and five spokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
502 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Thanks for the comments. Ive had quite a few people tell me the other wheels/tires looked better but I am gonna stick with these for now. I got the interior mostly painted. Came up with a unique shifter for it and tried my hand at pin striping. It honestly hasn't turned out too bad. I will have some pictures tomorrow.

502 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Here's my beer bottle shifter. A guy had sent me a scale case of beer bottles so I pulled them out and cut them apart. I still need to touch up the paint on the door panels and my fingerprints on the dash but I tried some striping. Once I do the dash I might do some on the body if I feel like. It has been pretty difficult so far. Im gonna finish up the interior tonight. The truck should be done this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

502 Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) The first picture is just a mockup but I should have it done tonight. Got several small things to do but I made a lot of progress last night. I had to keep the striping simple on the dash. I dont know if I could have done anything much more complicated. I also had a bit of a setback. I managed to drop the other headlight on my floor. I going to try and find it tonight so we will see how that goes.

DCLVXI Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 It looks good. If I may make a suggestion, the chrome looks a little too good. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCLVXI Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 It would look pretty good a little weathered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
502 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Yea it's definitely getting weathered I just haven't got to it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) I love the pinstriping on the dash, I've seen this a lot in 1:1. The whole model is looking good, nice! Edited May 7, 2013 by rmvw guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
502 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Thanks, I was just looking at some real trucks and got the idea for the dash. I am going to try and finish it up tonight. Only needs a couple minor things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps2u Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 The bottle for a shift knob is a nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
