ridinframe Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I've been working on this project for a year or two now it started life as a gmc syclone but has turned into this crazy project... Body dropped, chopped top and I laid the A pillar back to keep a nice shape to the side windows, custom phantom grille, scratch built front bumper, shaved everything, door handles windshield whipers, gas door, tail lights, tailgate.. I added a sunroof, custom cut the hood and molded the rest of the hood into the body.. As for the chassis, it's sorta stock besides the back half which is custom tubed with a scratch build independent rear axle.. I just got back into this project after a few month brake from model building.. I hope to have it done in the next few months... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Hearse Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 That looks great! I will definitely have to follow this build. I have a 1/20th S-10 that I've customized, and this will give me inspiration to finish it! Keep going, You're doing awesome!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Nice work. That, and the S-10 sister kits, is a fun kit to build/modify. Here's my take, not to hijack your thread or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridinframe Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Not much for updates.. I got the body wet sanded and another coat of primer on it I hope to have it painted this weekend. As for any other updates, I'm building door panels or door cards depending what side of the world your reading this from I hope to start working more on the interior this weekend sometime between coats of paint..

Custom Hearse Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 You should try to make a bed floor out of clear plastic. That would be a cool idea I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridinframe Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 I've thought about that if I decide to do that I can always use the piece I've made as a templet.. I'm trying to find a tailgate with the embossed Chevrolet or gmc in it so I can mold it into this kit some where.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridinframe Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Started building the scratch built firewall with tubs for the front tires, I have a little more work to do to that.. Also started on the upper and lower control arm, since this kit didn't come with them. I think it might of been 4 wheel drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridinframe Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Thanks everyone. I have a busy few days coming up so I don't know how much I'll get to work on the truck but it's coming along great! Hopefully I'll have paint on it sooner then later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridinframe Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Got alittle more done on this never ending project haha... Thanks to pharoah for hooking me up with a chevy tailgate that I molded into the rear of the truck. I hope to have the front suspension done today and maybe be alittle closer to paint.

What primer did you use? Tailgate looks great... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridinframe Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 What primer did you use? Tailgate looks great... We'll I didn't really use primer and the tailgate area. I ran out, so what you see there is a dusting of flat white and flat black spray paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playzwtrux Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 You should try to make a bed floor out of clear plastic. That would be a cool idea I think! That was the first thought that popped into my mind when I saw the picture of the removal bed section, it should be clear, and a bow-tie shaped rear window Also started on the upper and lower control arm, since this kit didn't come with them. I think it might of been 4 wheel drive? The Syclone and Typhoon were AWD Awesome build btw. man are you giving me ideas, now i have to find some of those kits. i will start with the 1/20 lindberg syclone that i have. VCG resins is working on a mold for the S-10 blazer/S-15 Jimmy body, that opens up the mod options too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm feeling like maybe grabbing one of those body's and not using the s10 body.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
