peekay Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) Another older, curbside build using Sikkens automotive base and clear coats, fine sanded and polished, as usual. I stripped the chrome grille and painted it, drilling out the headlights and replacing them as I went. I scratch built the mirror and bed gate chains, made the steering poseable and used Satco tyres. I sanded the scripts off the hood, hoping to replace them with chrome decals from the company I worked for at the time but, unfortunately, this never quite happened.

peekay Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 Thanks so much everybody. Any more pictures of the bed load and, maybe, the engine?I don't have more pictures of the bed load. Actually the load is there to cover the bed floor which I'm going to re-do with a new improved method. Maybe I'll take some new shots when that's done.This is another curbside with the hood glued shut. The main reason I do this is because once I get started detailing an engine bay I know it's going to take a loooooong time till that model is finished.
