PappyD340 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hey guys finished this one up the other day. A Revell 1964 Chevy pickup fleetside, painted with Boyd's Cheezoom Teal Pearl decanted and cleared with Model Master Ultra Gloss decanted then airbrushed 3 coats of each, wet sanded and polished. I did a little kit bashing on this one used the seats, console, steering wheel, engine from the AMT 1967 Chevelle pro street kit ( the green max rat kit ) the body got messed up somehow so I have been robbing parts from it The interior is done in all craft acrylic paints except for the dash. The bed is also done with craft acrylic paint and I made some washes from the same paints just used a couple different shades of brown the grain was done with a mechanicle pencil then it was cleared with Ceramcoat acrylic semi-gloss urethane, then BMF was applied. Engine is a Chevy 427, used Parts by Parks distributor and coil the headers were completely disassembled and cut reshaped put back together to make shorty headers to drop straight down because they would not work in their original form you can see on the underneath pic I lowered the truck just enough to give it the old hot rod look, buy removing the front spindles and repositioning then and I shaved the rear spring disks to match. baby moons are from Parts by Parks. Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixties Sam Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Very nice! I agree about the tires being a bit skinny, but that adds to the sleeper look. Who would suspect that much power when it rolls up to the red light? Nice work! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
